This one gives me a warm & fuzzy feeling; it's prolly the fret inlays:

Hi Frank,

I've seen posts of some of your Carvins. You are in and your number is 94.

Sorry to tell you my AC40 sold.

 

[fcappi]

THX Woody!
I have even been to the Carvin Factory and I have pics

 

[tocs100]

^What?--the fabled Wonka factory? Pics! Pics!

 

[fcappi]

I will see what I can do...
Here are the B4 kit i did and the lb70P I custom ordered but still miss.

wow that AC40 is stunning!

mine's not nearly as attractive, but with the spruce top, the sound sure is...

Opinion wanted: I've been SERIOUSLY considering converting my AC40 to fretless (i've played fretless before...love fretless) ... I think this bass was born to be fretless... what do you all think?

 

[fcappi]

I have had both fretted and fretless models and with the lr baggs/tapewound combination fretless is what it sound best at. In my opinion of course.

I would suggest trading for another ac 40 that is done already. Or selling and buying or if you can afford to keep them both.

I have defretted basses twice and it does damage quite a bit.

I was taking the pics but here is one with my wife and the famed AE185 carved guitar from stone...Great people there too...

That's looks familiar. I've spent too much money there.
