Peter Kastner demonstrates the Rob Allen Mb-2 fretless bass, recorded direct into a Universal Audio preamp into Pro Tools. The song is Nardis by Miles Davis. Enjoy:)

“Just Wrong”, Pino Palladino and Blake Mills. This recording features an Mb-2 bass, recorded with a direct input, but also with the addition of a couple of microphones capturing the acoustic sound of the instrument, including the finger noises and strings contacting the fingerboard. This is one of the best recordings of the Mb-2 I have ever heard, and the addition of the added mics also give a very nice front-to-back depth to the sound.

The whole album, “Notes With Attachments” is truly a work of art, highly original, and I strongly recommend it.
