Hi

Got this recently and really like it, but find myself now hankering for another beauty, for which I need to raise as much cash as possible...

STRAIGHT SALE PRICE: 400£ - now only 350£!

Anyhow, a made in USA custom Carvin lined fretless, three-band eq, neck-through construction, blueburst finish, 2TEK bridge, detuner on E string.

The bass has been well used and it shows on the proverbial light scratching on the back of the body (the kind you see at a certain angle under the light) and a few minor dings here and there. The fingerboard is in very good condition. Of note, the back of the neck has a satin finish - something I prefer, but some may not.

The bass is active/passive - with vol, pan, lo, hi and mid (in this order - the mid control was an option back then apparently). A pretty unique feature is that the mid control is centred on a rather low frequency - so think of it as a low-mid control. Favor the bridge pickup, pump up the mid control and you get a beautiful singing tone. It is one of the fretlesses that can be slapped without problem - it retains that 'snap'. The 2TEK bridge is impressive - it goes from front to back through the body.

The pots crackle a bit when turned if sound is present - something I'm told is solved in 5 minutes if you know what you're doing with some cleaner (I have no idea).

The bass plays very well, the neck is slim and nice - as happens often with Carvin, it is easily on par with basses two or three times more expensive!

Shipping included in the asking - paypal ok if you cover any fees. No case, but I can get a basic gig bag for better protection during shipping (plus obviously bubblewrap, cardboard box etc).

Thanks!
