fretless

F Bass has been around since the late 70s by luthier George Furlanetto and his team making fine instruments in Hamilton Ontario ..   BN5 was my first ever high-end hand made instrument . And here’s comes their most famous , the “King of Fretless” Alain Caron Signature Fretless bass .   

Electric bass was first invented in the 30s by Paul Tutmarc, then it was mass-produced in the 50’s by Leo Fender and the rest was history. They were initially made to do what the upright bass do in a smaller, more portable package. It was first made with frets on so that it’s easier to play, what’s also why it was called the precision bass..  

After Rob’s MB2 (34”), then Mouse 30 (30”) , I’m lucky enough to try out this flagship model he offers. Where Rob says the Deep4/5 has the most convincing acoustic tone if cost is not an issue. And man ..   I just can’t agree more. 

They're some luthiers who had been focusing what they've doing and follow the same vision for decades, Rob Allen has been one of them who builds very musical semi-hollow body basses that are loved by many bass players world wide.  I’m lucky enough to play the little mouse not long after its bigger brother MB2, they are similar in many way and here’s some little facts between the 2.
