Well guys I sold my Sb5000 and now only gigging with my '95 BB75. The Sb5000 was nice but heavy after long gigs on the side where my cancer was. But the BB75 it sounding real nice with the Bart's pickup. If they ever make a lighter SB5000 I'll will replace it.
OH well.
What Barts did you put in her? Are you still using the Carvin pre or did you swap that as well?
Custom Bartolini radius'd pickups out of a Zon Sonus.
Glockenklang 3-band preamp with passive tone control
Carvin 6 strings bass have 17mm strings spacing. They don,t offert any option for a wider neck on their 6 strings while they have a wide neck option on their 5 strings.
Nice. Here's my Trifecta:
'00 B4 w/ swamp ash body, matching head, black hardware
'10 BB70 Copperhead metallic, matching head, black hardware, black logo
'08 ICON 4 P, Deep triplestep Dragonburst, Flametop, matching head, black hardware
Wow - that dragonburst finish is something else!
I would like to join, please! I am currently awaiting the birth of my Icon4 (10/25/10!)...I recently purchased a 1987 V440T, and am also working on a super-evil addition to the Carvin clan (don't want to jinx it!). 
And to LowEndBlues...I want to see the backside of that Dragonburst!
Thanks!

Kind of weird; has anybody at all ordered a B40/B50 with a figured top? Every single one I've seen has just been a standard finish.
Hey IconBasser - do you play in the area? I used to (till a couple of months ago) played on one of the Teams at CBC ..(Big church 19th /Beryl) Used my LB75 almost every time! Of course when we did the cover of "Come Togther" (Beatles) I had to bring out my little Hoffner!
Thanks, Woody! I'll post a photo soon. I'm currently working on adding to the Carvin pile...will wait for the arrival to get a full team photo!
Hey brothers, Id like a number will post pics soon I own Carvin B2000,B1500 2 BR410's and a BR18 cab. Thanks for any consideration!! Retroblaster
I've staring at my BB75's fretboard half the day, because I'm working from home and it's right next to me. The other half of the day I've been playing it
It's tough to capture just how awesome the fretboard is with my camera, but here's a shot anyway. So, some fretboard pics because "why not"

Retroblaster, you are member number 184. Welcome.
jim777, thanks for the pics of your fretboard. Carvin does get some nice birdseye.

Hi Mayers,
Do you still have three Carvins? I think you need a fretted 4 banger to go with those six stringers. It's as easy as a phone call...
Purple on quilt is a very attractive finish. I say go for it!

Does anyone have a tung oiled Anniversary LB76? That's the one stuck in my head at the moment and I'd love to see a few pics
