MB-2 5 String Koa Fretless Bass. Rare 5 String fretless bass. This fine instrument features an alder body with an aged curly koa top (from lumber seasoned 50+ years- perfect for instrument making) and faux tortoiseshell binding. The 35" scale birdseye maple neck features an unlined ebony fingerboard with side dots. I like unlined fingerboards because the lack of saw cuts (for the fret line markers) leave a single uninterrupted piece of wood, which yields slightly more resonance and attack. The combination of the alder body, 35” scale length, and the unlined f.b. give this bass an authoritative punchy sound, while still being very warm. A deluxe quality form fit hardshell case (made locally in Los Angeles by G&G) is included
