FT Feeler: Carvin Icon5p

Hey guys,

I have an Icon5p with Jazz style soap bar pickups that I love to play but I used to have an LB75p with the MM/J pickup setting and I just miss the bark and funk that the MM pickup gave me.

My bass has a swamp body
5 piece maple neck with walnut veneers
Ebony fretboard
quilted maple top with matching headstock
Colour is triple deep purple

Controls are:
Volume with push/pull active passive
Blend between neck and bride and also blend for piezo
Concentric bass/treble
Concentric midrange/boost-cut
And internal volume control for each piezo string as well as overall volume.

I would really like to trade for either an LB75p, XB75p or Icon5p with MM/J pickup configuration.

However, I am open to offers, so long as they have they have the MM/J pickups config.

My bass has been played and does have a chip on the top of the headstock and a few scratched here and there so I'm not expecting and immaculate bass for trade, but I don't want a garbage bass either and I would also prefer the original electronics and pickups left in the bass, unless you can prove the replacements were installed professionally. (Too many headaches with basses that have had electronics swapped by DIYers.

Sorry for the long winded explanation!


Here's a couple quick pics of my baby in action.

 

Here's a screen shot of what it would cost to build my bass with the exact specs.

Would also consider any med/high end 5 string with HH/S pickup configuration.

 

Just one bump

 

Buy mine and I'll buy his:

Or, if you have a rickenbacker that you'd like to trade (plus cash) to him, we can do a three way trade.

 

You know, it's funny you said that. I JUST contacted a luthier to do it haha just waiting for his response.

 

Having the bridge pickup rerouted. Please close thread!
