$1000? You must be talking about the difference between a metro and a SB5000... There *is* a difference between a Metro and an NYC - not the least of which is price.

Anyone getting their SB4000/5000 soon?
Would like to see some new Glorious SB Bass pics
Yep! The postcard says next Friday.
Anticipation...
Nice! Hopefully the time doesn't go by to slow for you..lol..
Looking forward to seeing your pics and I think a few more TBer's are getting their SB's in November also including mine...gonna be a good month
Hey All,
I have an SB5000, looking to add a used SB4000 Used ash/maple if possible.. If you have both SB5000 and SB4000 aside from the weight difference, have you noticed any other differences, sonically, physically, as it's a slightly smaller bass than the sb5000.
Also.. if you have an sb4000 you're looking to get rid of PM me!

Got my postcard for my SB rebuild....12/03/10
I'm thinking maybe a week or 2 earlier since it is a rebuild

Nice!...Seems like most orders are being fulfilled in about 5-6 weeks depending on options.
I was told yesterday that my rebuild will take the full 7 weeks. I opted for a Koa body on my SB5000 and Bart at Carvin said they just got some prime Koa in and it is being dried out so it will take a little longer. But he said the Koa they got is very Choice
here it is with the .99 cent pickguard i won on ebay. it came with the plain white one, didn't like it so much. i like this color combo alot.
Great score, it looks really nice. But tell me, it fit perfectly flush on your SB, screw holes and all?
the screw holes line up perfect and fit in the countersunk holes if that's what you mean.
it's carvin. the guy put a .99 cent min bid on it. i almost feel bad getting it for .99 cents.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh! I thought it was a generic that just happened to fit perfectly. Well good score all the same.

I ordered mine with a swamp ash body from Steve who indicated a 4-5 week eta. I don't even know what Koa is, I'll have to Google it. Looks like you live around the corner from me.
I saw this Uber nice SB5000 on the in-stock page at Carvin.com yesterday. Only lasted one day 
I think the price was
around $1650-$1700.. Very nice looking Burled Maple top Bass though

Two thoughts:
I'm not normally a gold hardware fan, but on this bass it looks nice;
And
I'd like the icon headstock for this bass better. Otherwise, it's very cool.
