SOLD: New Carvin Koa SB5000

Sign in to disble this ad
SOLD
Here is my new Koa SB5000 up for sale. I received it about a month ago. The Craftsmanship is AAA+ and it plays as good as it looks. I have played 4 strings for years and have not been able to feel comfortable with a 5 string I am also past the return date for a rebuild/exchange.
The bass is in perfect new condition with less then 10 hours of play and has never left my house.
For sale only, due to the fact that I will be ordering a SB4000 with the same specs with the funds from this sale.

Specs:
Koa SB5000
34" scale, 22 frets W/19mm string spacing
weighs in just under 10lbs

Tung Oil Finish Back Of Neck
Birdseye Maple Fingerboard (Tung-Oiled)
SB-Style Headstock
Koa Headstock Matches Body Color
Abalone Dot Inlays
Med-Jumbo Frets .048" H .103" W
14in Fretboard Radius
J99A Alnico Single Coil Pickups 18v Active/Passive
Cream H50A or J9A Pickup covers
Chrome Hardware

Ivory Graph Tech TUSQ Nut
Black Carvin Tolex Wide Hardshell Bass Case (included)
Original Blk Truss Rod Cover (included)
Custom made Birdseye Maple truss rod cover (included)
Made in the USA!

Here is the YouTube video that first turned me onto the SB series:

AAHH!!! That's sooo tempting... the fact that it's only 1100 bucks and 10 minutes away is maddening...

Great job on the material seleciton, very attractive result.

Bump for a bass I would buy if it only had black hardware, and black pickups.
