AlexJMcGibbon Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Price Drop: £950 Carvin SB5000, bought new in 2013 direct from Carvin. Hardly played out, mainly for home use. - Swamp ash body with flamed maple top (antique brown stain) - Rosewood neck with white mother of pearl block inlays. Clear gloss finish to back of the neck. - Rosewood knobs: Volume/Volume/Tone (pull up for passive), Bass and Treble - J99A Pickups. Active preamp powered by two 9-volt batteries. - Can be strung through bridge or through body. - Matching flamed Icon headstock - Black pickguard, but come with an additional replacement white pearloid pickguard + ashtray - Original Carvin hardcase, instructions etc - There is a small ding in the finish next to the input jack (photo pending) Sad to be selling this, but really looking to pick up a vintage Musicman of some sort. It is a truly great bass. The reviews across the net speak for themselves. Super low action, very easy to play. This model is also now discontinued. I also play it on a few of my [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/alexjmcgibbon"]youtube[/url] videos to give an idea of the tone. Further pictures available on request. Trades etc considered Edited October 3, 2014 by AlexJMcGibbon

molan Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 SB body shape has been discontinued now so you can't get these any more
molan Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Quite rare to see an SB wih an Icon headstock, was that a special order?
AlexJMcGibbon Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Molan, yes it was - I just thought it looked cooler and a bit different Seems to balance nicely too when you wear it. Price dropped to £1000 Edited September 15, 2014 by AlexJMcGibbon
ChunkyMunky Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Bump for an AWESOME bass. The only thing that has challenged my Bongos so far.
SisterAbdullahX Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I have one too. These are GREAT basses!
