FSO: MINT Carvin SB5000 in vintage cream / rosewood with MOP blocks!!!

Bass purge continues ...

I just picked up this bass from Vintage Guy. Sorry the hosted photos were recently pulled; I'll get some up soon! But check out Vintage Guy's avatar.

EDIT: new high res pics here!









I felt my GAS pains subside as soon as I held this one in my hands! It is gorgeous and plays/sounds fantastic!! I knew immediately that I had found my five string. Just felt like home!

The ONLY reason I am selling this is to buy another SB5000 that clocks in under 10 lbs. My bathroom scale and shoulder indicate that this one is a bit over 10 pounds (my personal limit).

Lots of specs and details in the thread linked above. This baby is MINT and still has a yummy new bass smell!

GONE.

I have to say this is the best playing and sounding bass I have picked up in a long while. If it had a maple board I would have kept it. At near 60 years old my night vision is getting horrible. I am having a harder and harder time seeing at night gigs in dimly lit venues. My bass's with maple boards seem to help out immensely. Therefore I am eliminating most of my dark board bass's.

These things rock and I love them.

I wish it was maple board, but none the less I'm sure this kicks butt, I dug everyone I tried so far.

Thanks for the endorsements. These do kick butt and certainly live up to the hype!!!

Somebody should scoop this up. One of the prettier finishes IMO!

Would like to find this one a home quickly.

Grab it before someone else does. Price subject to change if I sell one of my other basses.
