Killer Carvin LB70

RickC · #1 03-22-2010, 08:21 AM

Not sure of the exact date, but it looks like mid-90's to me. Maple neck-thru with ash wings and flame maple top, and matching flame on the headstock. Excellent condition; the only cosmetic issue is a finish chip at the tip of the headstock (see pic). Active electronics, passive bypass mode, and the rear bucker has a coil splitter. The neck is perfect, very straight, and action is extremely low. Best of all, it's a featherweight at 7 lbs 15 oz.

This bass almost plays itself, lots of great tones, and in particular is a slap monster.

Oh, and did I mention *IT'S GREEN!!!*

Comes with a quality hard case. Carvins are always good bang for the buck and with an exceptional one like this even more so.

$650 shipped in the US. Thanks for looking

Okay, so I was off in my dating. I did some investigation on the Carvin website and based on the serial#, bridge, and pickups the bass was built somewhere between 2000 and 2005; probably toward the early side of that range. Neck pickup is a J99.

Ha, I know what you mean. The *only* reason this is up is that I've got a Sadowsky itch I just need to scratch. But half of me is hoping it doesn't move.

Hey, Northeastern PA? Anywhere near Silverdale? My brother-in-law lives there and we come down a couple of times a year.

Thanks for the bump

Green Thursday bump

/rick

ps Green Thursday is a tradition in my family, brought over from Germany (where my mom was born). The Thursday before Easter, and so-called because we always ate spinach on that day. I dreaded this day as child, but strangely adhere to the tradition now. Spinach pie tonight!

Love the look of this bass. So nice.

Bump for a green machine that I wish I had the funds for.

I've got a feeling I'm going to be in trouble when I see something like this come up after I finish my degree.

Carvin is a company that really can get a green finish right.

Beautiful Green finish and a maple neck!! I need to get rid of a few basses and have an emergency gas fund when something like this comes up

Cool bass, I have this same in a LB75, color really is Stunning. Bump

I have (perhaps temporarily) come to my senses, and this bass is (perhaps temporarily) off the market.
