***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***SOLD***

F/S - Carvin AC40 Flamed Koa 4 string

That's the original thread with tons of great pics (Thanks Tfish.)
Bought this last week, played a gig with it Saturday night and am just not "loving" it.
Have no complaints at all, just not for me.

Condition is ridiculously clean.
A few tiny spots where the lacquer has "lifted." (Edge of fretboard and binding joints)
G&G Molded tweed case. Strung with LaBella Tape Wounds.

Passing the saving on to the rest of you here at TB!!!

$700 Shipped CONUS/ PAYPAL
$675 for MD/DC/VA/PA/WV Locals, but I am not driving!!

***I did add Schaller straplocks. Came with Dunlops. Buyer can have either set and a black nylon strap to boot.

The ONLY Trade Bait would be...
Godin A4 or AcoustiBass
Martin or Tacoma AEB
Breedlove AEB
Fender Kingman SCE and $$$
Rick Turner and $$$ From my end

Man, That bass is killing me...the first time i saw it for sale and now.

How is the balance on this one, neck heavy or not bad? I love Carvins, but I've never gotten hands on an AC yet.

To be honest, I was scared of neck dive as well when I bought this beast.

I use a 3" comfort strap as well as a few different Levy's leather straps, and it did NOT dive on me once during a three hour gig. The weight is the whole reason behind my purchase...A total shoulder saver!! 6.25 POUNDS according to Carvin!!
