The Rob Allen Mouse 30 is a fretless, piezo based, semi hollow-body bass that sounds warm and thumps with a very upright-like sound. I picked this up used from the forums on Talkbass after lusting after one for awhile and have never looked back. A staple of my collection and I can’t image it being without it.
