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 Wound Strings (I also have an extra set I'll include with the bass) Strings are about 3 months old and sound fantastic.
Side dots on the neck are at the fret positions like they should be on a fretless. I find it very easy to find the proper notes.. and I'm a terrible bass player.
The original owner told me the price from Carvin when he had it built was ~$1600. I ran through the bass builder on Carvins website and that seems accurate.
Here's the specs from Carvin on the model:
The top and finish we're upgraded and possibly the neck. I can't be sure though.
Comes with: OHSC, Strap Locks, Strap, LaBella Nylon Tape Wound Strings
CASH: [DEL]$800[/DEL] $750 shipped First and Only Price Drop or TRADE: Preferably a 6 string fretless w/ a piezo lined or unlined.. I'd consider a 5 string as well if its the right bass. Must be fretless. [DEL]Must have a piezo.[/DEL] Looking for EBMM Bongo 5 or 6s as well. Piezo or no Piezo.
EDIT: Forgot to add.. Local Pickup in San Diego or Orange County OK. Shipped to Lower 48
