SOLD!
After three months time, I find that a 19mm string spacing just doesn't work well with my right-hand technique, so I've decided to sell this beautiful Carvin B50 fretted bass.
The bass has no dings, scratches or belt rashes at all. The only alteration I've made was to have the pickup cavity shielded by a tech at the time I tried the H50A pickups. I have since had the original J99A pickups re-installed.
I recorded a series of videos with this bass on youtube that should give a good idea of this bass' tone quality.

Oh BTW, my name is on the truss-rod cover, so you'll have to order one from Carvin (ten bucks).
I take Paypal or cashier's check.
Edit: The bass weighs in at 9.7 lbs on my scale.
