The SB, (Sekou Bunch) model has just been discontinued and a JB clone in its place. That makes this bass all-the-more desireable, especially with the Minty condition. Price adjusted.
This is a late 2011 ordered, 2012 received, Carvin SB 5001 Chambered Bass Guitar. This is a feeler... Trades plus cash would be fine, but You need to offer up a good trade. Good set-up, clean, no bs plz. This is the finest Jazz bass you can get for under $2k easy!
See the pictures and you'll agree its a 9.8 of 10 and only because it's been played gently.No mars whatsoever. Practically mint. (NEW 3 ply black pickguard and the original included.). Pictures: HERE from original thread, or HERE from my Photobucket.

Cash sale: $1250.00 Shipped Continental USA. Original cost was $1768.85. Here's your chance to get a top level USA made boutique bass at WAY below cost and without the wait time.
Trade Value: $1400.00 Serious buyers/trades only. I prefer an extended 35" scale and darker fingerboard.
This pic is a little washed-out. The bass is slightly darker. View all the pics HERE. (New, refined pics coming!)
Here's the snakeskin-covered pickguard. Got the metal film from jockomo/eBay. Also includes a brand new 3-ply BWB PG from Carvin.
