    FS/FT FEELER: Carvin LB76F (Six String Lined Fretless) EMG Pups/Elec. w/ OHSC

    Considering thinning the herd a bit. I've been playing guitar a lot more lately and I need a fretted workhorse bass for recording. TRADES: This is probably a super long shot but.. I'm fawning over the Ibanez Artcore Expressionist AFJ957 7-String Guitar. If this bass goes for cash I'll most...

    Need tone advice w/ Pod X3 Live! (Cave In, Zozobra, Intronaut)

    I'm picking up a Pod X3 Live later today and I want some advice on a good signal chain. I play a 6 string fretless and I really admire Joe Lester's tone. He has a pretty beefy rhythm sound and some nice glassy jazzy stuff going on when he breaks away from the guitars. I really dig Caleb...

    Dead notes on fretless (lack of sustain)

    I was playing my Carvin LB76F w/ La Bella Black Nylon Tapewound strings and I noticed on one 'fret' in particular the note goes dead very quickly. The frets above and below ring out just fine. Is this a setup issue? Truss rod adjustment?

    Hipshot 'B' Bridge Help!

    This is a Carvin LB76F that I picked up recently. It came with a set of GraphTech Piezo saddles that I'm trying to install. As you can see from the picture below the string spacing seems to have gone astray. The saddles are 'grouped' in twos, leaving a large gap. (waiting on the high C in the...

    SOLD FS/FT Carvin LB75F Unlined w/OHSC

    I'm the second owner of this bass. The guy before me bought it and couldn't get into fretless and it sat in the case since 2008. I bought it last year and I love it! Condition is 9.5/10 I'm at work now but, I'll triple check to see if there's any blemishes. It's strung with LaBella Nylon Tape...

    Piezo Bridge Question

    I have a 5 string Carvin Fretless (active/passive w/ two 9 volt batteries) with no piezo factory installed. I'm wondering if there's a bridge that has the piezo saddles, preamp, and output built in with out much modification other than maybe jumping into the 18v circuit... I realize that...

    Suggestions for a modest analog setup?

    I just switched to bass duties not too long ago from guitar. Right now I have a Pod HD Pro which is a really nice rack unit that I adore but, unfortunately it only has one bass amp model... I'm tempted to sell it for a Pod X3 rack unit or scrap the digital unit all together for a nice modest...

    Quick Tuning Question...

    A buddy and I are trying to decide on how to match up our tunings. He plays a 7 string guitar in Drop G# and I have a 5 string bass... Should I stick with standard tuning and just come down a half step when writing? or tune down the half step or maybe even drop the B to a G#? What's the...

    Truss Rod Help - Before I make a mistake :)

    I just picked up an Ibanez Gio Sound Gear what was defretted. It must've had light gauge round strings on it before. I picked up some medium flatwounds and the string height is high toward the base of the neck. Will a truss rod adjustment make the action even down the length of the neck? I was...
