I'm the original owner selling my 2011 Carvin Icon 5 to fund a new bass purchase. This is my only 5-string and I have been playing exclusively 4-string for the last five-plus years. It is the claro walnut top with birdseye maple fingerboard. All electronics are stock and have never been opened or pulled out. All hardware is stock and undisturbed as well. Strings are Ernie Ball Power Slinky. See original order details for all specifications below. This bass has never left the house, never gigged, etc. It has sat in its original hard shell case for years. All case candy is included. Price includes shipping - CONUS only. No trades.

This beauty is in excellent condition with only two marks: 1. There is clear coat bubbling around the D string tuning peg. This has occurred over time and not the result of any damage event. 2. A small dimple from the bass leaning forward when sitting at my desk and bumping a knob on my desk drawer. There is no disruption to the gloss coat, just a tiny indentation. See pictures for details on both.

This is a copy/paste from my original order confirmation email back in December 2011. Building this new today on Kiesel's website has the price starting at $2309 without any options (for reference, and yes several factors involved over 14 years).

Beautiful instrument. Is the bridge adjustable? 15.5mm seems a little narrow for me. It doesn't look like there's much extra width in the neck to work with any wider spacing. Can you take a picture at the body end of the fingerboard at the neck?

Seriously interested if I could get 17mm out of it.

Thank you. It is beautiful! I think I measured incorrectly originally. 15.5mm does seem too narrow. Using the method in the TB post linked below, I am getting 16.67mm. At the bridge - 2 5/8" = 2.625". That is 66.675mm, divided by 4 = 16.67mm. Spacing is not adjustable at the bridge.

Measuring string spacing

Here's a couple of photos for you.
2 5/16 where the body meets the neck, or a 14.68mm spacing.
