Details

I made this body many years ago and assembled the entire bass but have never played it much at all; only a few times, really. Originally I built it with a Carvin neck (before the Carvin/Keisel split), neck pocket width is 7.098mm as you can see in the pics. I'm including the bridge, although I don't know who made it. The body is flamed Maple with (I believe) Sapele. It's 6.7 lbs according to my digital fishing scale. The pickup routs are for Bartolini BC soapbars. It has copper shielding throughout and a separate 9v battery compartment. There are a couple of tiny, tiny dings (one of the pictures shows all I can find near the input jack on the side,) pretty sure they could be buffed-out. The strap buttons were never drilled. Price is firm, paypal, CONUS shipping. I still have the Carvin neck and may offer it for sale as well.

How much with the neck if you still have it? Loaded? Also would the pups be available. Scale? Sorry for the pesky questions.:thumbsup:

No problem. I can sell the neck for $80 unloaded. It is unfinished and I have lost the little truss rod cover. 34" scale.
I can sell the pups, too, but I'll have to come up with a price. In the meantime I'll attach pics of those items. I have a complete set of Hipshot Ultralight tuners for the neck, I can get a price for those, too. LOL I hadn't really planned on selling the whole bass, but I guess I don't really have a need for this stuff, anyway.

I'm highly opinionated and extremely self-assured
That thing looks great, especially for that price!

What's the finish?

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, there is a bit of a gap in the neck pocket with the Carvin neck. If memory serves I had routed this for a standard Fender 5 string to fit Warmoth necks.

The tuners are Hipshot Ultralights in Shiny Nickle. They go for $35.20/ea on bbg, I can sell them for $20 each; $100 for the set.

Correction: I think they are the "Chrome" finish, which is $29.04 on bbg.
