Milano MB-30 Upright Stringed Bass, ebony fingerboard, adjustable bridge, "Faux" Flaming, avilable in 3/4 size only.
**FREE Shipping Special to Qualified* Commercial Address. Limited Time Offer**
This bass goes for a LOT more in stores, get it far cheaper thru the internet here. This sounds and plays much like $1700 Christophers and other big brand names.
This is my choice bass for a BIG WARM sound if I wanted to spend less than the $1700 a Christopher costs.
I have a Christopher in our shop here now, a 102 model, and the MB-30 I have here now is so close to it in big punchy volume it's scary. The Christopher edges it out in sustained quality of sound, I must say there is a noticeable difference.
The Christopher is about $500 more with same thorough setup/adjustment, if you want that step up in quality sound it's your baby. The MB-30 will give you nearly as much punch and volume overall, the Christopher will take that and add a richer quality sound with longer sustain to it. Worth the $500 if you gotta have it. :^) That's how I'd express it.
The Cremona SB-3 sounds about like the Milano 15E and the MB-1 really, just sharper looking and with ebony like the 15E. The MB-30 is the first step up in spruce top giving bigger better sound.
THIS BASS HAS A BIG FAT PUNCH AND STRONG SOUND, FANTASTIC DEAL!

**IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTES:
Free Shipping to “Qualified* Commercial Address” requires the address to be located within 30 minutes, or so, of a major city, on major U.S. shipping arteries and not more than 600 miles from our shop in Pasadena, CA.
A Qualified* Commercial Address is defined as a business address in an area that is incorporated or “Zoned” commercial and where a large truck has “easy access” (a shipping & receiving dock or a place that is directly adjacent to an entrance not requiring any additional handling, i.e.; stairs or anything past the front door. There are additional handling charges for those and other services). When choosing the “Commercial Address” option below be sure to include the name of the Business in the shipping address in the checkout process.
Shipping rates can vary greatly depending on where you live. More remote commercial shipping addresses on the East Coast, New England, New York, New Jersey as well as Florida or the upper Midwestern States such as North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, for example, require additional shipping charges usually running between $35 and $85, depending on where you are. These types of shipping destinations are more expensive to ship to from us here in California and some have gone to $140 more for delivery into remote or crowded expensive delivery areas in the Northeast.
The customer will need to make up the difference between the “Free” shipping allowance ($80) and the actual shipping costs. In any case, FMI will contact you if there is additional shipping due.
Shipping to a residential address is $45 more to any State as it takes special handling by the freight line.
