I owned a XB75 for a long time and alway had no problem switching between my BB75.
No sweat! My first club! Can't wait to go to the meetings! Wait, this isn't one of those clubs is it? (LMMFAO
)I'm heading to San Diego in 8 days and am finally going to make my pilgrimage to the Carvin factory store. I figured what better way to celebrate visiting the store than to place an order while I'm there. This will be my 4th (maybe the last :wink: ) Carvin custom shop bass and I'm going all out on this one.
My preference is an AC50, but having no experience with the string spacing/neck width on the 5 string (my LB75's both have the 5W option), I have prepared a backup plan for an AC40. Either way it's going to have a spalted top and no sound hole. Here's the plans....
AC50
SMTA - Flamed Spalted Maple Top Acoustic
NMAH - Mahogany Neck & Body (Standard)
CS - Satin Matte Finish
5H - 5-Piece Mahogany Neck w/ 2 Maple Stripes
IPH - Icon-style Bass Headstock (I hope they'll do it, it's not an option in the builder)
SMPH - Spalted Maple Headstock Matches Body Color
RWF - Rosewood Fingerboard
DI - Dot Inlays (Standard) Asking for black dots...
STF - Stainless Med-Jumbo Frets
R14 - 14in Fretboard Radius (Standard)
BC - Black Hardware
5012 - LaBella Tapewounds
BL - Black Logo
NTSH - No F Holes/No Sound Hole
IVN - Ivory Graph Tech TUSQ Nut
ETR - Engraved Truss Rod Cover Black
And the backup plan if I don't like the feel of the 5 string....

Why thank you. It really prefers to be called by its Christian name though, "Dragonburst".
I kid, I kid...

Sorry it's upside down. I tried to fix it on my phone, but was unsuccessful. Just turn your monitor upside down.
