From Ron Allen:
Introduced in 1997, the MB-2 bass combines the warmth of an upright bass with the punch of a solid body, creating it's own unique tone. It is a lightweight hybrid, semi-hollow instrument that is organic in sound and feel. The MB-2 is made with the highest quality materials, featuring hand selected tone woods, minimal finish for optimum resonance, and high quality electronics that feature a discreet signal path for pure unadulterated bass tone in combination with a piezo pickup. Unlike magnetic pickups which primarily sense the metal in the string, a piezo is a vibration sensor, making the sound of the wood itself the dominant factor. This makes for a very dynamic touch sensitive instrument. The La Bella 760n strings feature a steel core with a smooth nylon outer wrapping, which contribute to ease of intonation.  In a word, you've never picked up a fretless bass that's this easy to play in tune.

Condition:  This bass is in Very Good condition, showing signs of light-to-moderate use and light repair.  There are slight scratches/indents on the reverse side which were difficult to capture and are mostly masked by the woodgrain.  There are sparse light dents/scratches around the edge of the instrument which were difficult to capture in photographs and only evident when held to the light.  There are 2 areas on the top edge of the binding, in the "waist" area of the top, where the binding was reglued.  On the area around the binding on the koa top, there is a slightly different sheen in the finish , however the repair appears to have been done quite professionally.  This package is complete with the original Ron Allen hard shell case.
