FS / FT - Carvin B4 with brand new neck!

Bass-only · #1 05-27-2010, 08:12 PM

I would rather sell this, but I'd consider a trade also on this one.

Carvin B4 bass. Beautiful sunburst finish. MM type pickup. 9-volt. Active / passive. Volume, blend, bass, mid, treble, coil switch.

Condition: 9.95 / 10 - all I can find is one TINY, TINY, TINY mark on the face. Did I say TINY? Took me several weeks to find. That's it! So close to MINT it will scare you!

Now - it does have a brand new neck from Carvin. This was NOT a kit neck. I had the custom shop make it and they applied the logo. It fits as tight as glove in the pocket. On the original neck, the truss rod nut came loose, so there was no way to adjust the tension. I'll ship that neck also, if you want it. Bass looks and plays as good as new.

Comes in a Carvin HSC.

I have over $750 into the bass (the new neck was like $220).

TRADED! Heading back home to Frank!

Picture time!!

Tuesday bump!

Got the action scaringly low last night - with no buzzing!

For what I have into this - I'm wondering if I should just keep it.

Another example of the photos just don't do this bass justice!

Through the weekend for this lovely bass also - then she's off the market!

I don't think you can find a better bass for the price.

The Carvin pickups and preamps are FAR better than they used to be. If I didn't have 2 other Carvins - selling this wouldn't even be a consideration.

A few more bumps - then she just might stay here!

Pulled it out again last night. You CAN'T find a comparable (USA made) bass for the price! I dare you to find something better (for this price!) :

If I can sell my Carvin B4 kits I may buy it back! its such a good Bass!

Hi Frank!

Thanks for the bump / comment!

Yes - she really is a GREAT bass!

...and it comes with an extra neck! If anyone can figure out how to weld that little nut on the end - you have a perfectly functioning (second) neck. I didn't have the "technology" so I copped out with a brand new neck!

Trade for a six-string?

Bass-only · #15 06-14-2010, 07:46 PM

Thanks - but really just interested in 4-stringers.
