haimesy Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Hi All Had this great Carvin Fretless custom built through Bass Gear in 2014. Not playing much these days and certainly not enough to keep my fretless chops together. See through Black ( flamed top ) Lined Ebony board Active passive eq Matching headstock / Abalone logo Loads of Mwah , currently strung with DR black beauties Comes with Black and white pearl pickguards and Carvin Hardcase My pics don't do this bass justice as it's very handsome in the flesh .? Cost nearly double my sale price new & shipped from USA £750.00 Edited November 28, 2017 by haimesy
molan Posted September 6, 2017 Posted September 6, 2017 I remember this one - lovely bass You get a lot for your money from Carvin for a genuine American made bass. A Fender equivalent with flamed top would cost a hell of a lot more.
haimesy Posted September 6, 2017 Author Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks Barry it was yourself who sorted it all for me .. 😀
haimesy Posted September 9, 2017 Author Posted September 9, 2017 Bumping for the weekend Would maybe trade for a Fretted 5 , I'm thinking of trying stringing E- C home noodling
edstraker123 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Lovely bass. I'd definitely recommend E-C - just setting up a 6er E-F as my mission for this afternoon.
haimesy Posted September 9, 2017 Author Posted September 9, 2017 I think it may have been your Cazpar .. I kept going back too .. when it was for sale .. cheers John
haimesy Posted September 12, 2017 Author Posted September 12, 2017 5 string trades !! E to C or B to G Bump
CameronJ Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Gorgeous bass, love the Carvin body shapes.
haimesy Posted September 15, 2017 Author Posted September 15, 2017 Bump Thanks Cameron It's a great bass , I don't know why there not more popular in the UK , the build quality and parts are excellent .. cheers J
SisterAbdullahX Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Barry sorted my SB5000 for me, like he said, a lot of bass for the money. That's a real looker and I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Have a fellow Carvin lover bump on me!
haimesy Posted September 19, 2017 Author Posted September 19, 2017 It's my second Carvin .. great basses I'm just winding down playing and my gear ownership after 30years of bass playing
