SOLD,

TRADES TOO. Updating on 8/20 to include trades for EB Musicman Stingray or possibly other MM of similar value.

Up for sale is a gorgeous Carvin LB75 in absolute mint condition that I just traded for. I am now considering a trade (with cash possible) for a 4-string Rickenbacker, or Lakland of equal value.

This custom-built bass was delivered in March of this year. I traded a five for it, but am now convinced that 5 is not my thing. If you know Carvins, you’ll understand what this bass is about. If you don’t, here are some of the specifics of this instrument.

Maple body, Quilted maple top, 5 piece maple neck, Birdseye maple fretboard with black MOP blocks, black hardware, HB2 humbucker, J99A Single Coil, active/passive electronics. Carvin Hard case included.

PRICE DROP $1025 [DEL]$1150[/DEL], plus shipping. This bass cost $1658 just four months ago so it seems to be a very good price.Trade value about $1250 I"d say.

I hate heaters!
Carvin's neck-through is well kept secret. Had 6 string version which still compares well (if not better) IMO to boutique custom builds costing 3-4 times Carvin's catalog price.

Thanks for the quality bump, fourtet102. Though I haven't played it much, everything about the build quality seems first- rate. The neck is quite amazing, in both appearance, action and feel. NO question if I had this in a four I would keep it.

I dont see how carvin can make such a sick axe at an even sicker price....seems like collusion among the boutique builders to charge 3 to 4x as much. ..that thing is a freakin neck thru for crying out loud. ..bump!!!!!!!!!
