Carvin B5 Lined Fretless with Epoxied Board

Sign in to disble this ad
*SOLD!* This one's off to Russia!

Back up on the chopping block is my Carvin B5 Fretless bass. The sad fact of the matter is that I am simply not using fretless for anything at present and would much rather sell it to make some room for other things (right now I need a new acoustic guitar the most).

Full disclosure: It's definitely going to need to be setup as I changed the strings to DR Sunbeams (it originally had Rotosound Tru-Bass 88's on it) and didn't adjust the neck, action, or intonation to compensate (although it's been sitting in the case with the strings loosened completely). It's been sitting in the case like that for about a year now.

Some simple stats:
5-string 34" scale
Bolt-on neck
Ultralite style tuners (Carvin Branded)
Lined fretless epoxied fingerboard, scratches as expected from being played
3-band active/passive 9v preamp with blend control
J neck MM bridge pickups
Bridge is either topload or through body
All black hardware
Fitted with Dunlop Dual-Design straplocks
Comes with a Long Bass Comfort Strapp with the strap buttons attached
OHSC included, case is in excellent condition

$550 plus shipping

I'll take some new pics if you need them, otherwise here are a few I took before restringing and storing it:

Carvins are Made in the US to my knowledge (this one has a Made in US plate on the jack.).

The measurements that I took in a previous FS thread were:
17mm string spacing
1.77" @ nut
2.70" @ last fret line (22nd)

However, I could have mis-calculated the string spacing. I will say that the string spacing is comfortable though (even for my fat fingers).
