Joebass Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, I'm looking to sell/trade this Carvin SB5000. These fantastic jazz basses are getting pretty rare these days. £950 Body: Alder Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Birdseye maple String spacing: 19mm Fingerboard radius: 14" Scale length: 34" Weight: 4.5kg I have upgraded the stock pickups/pre to Nordstrand 70's single coils and a John East J-retro deluxe. It's in really good condition with some very minor wear - there are a couple of knocks in the finish that are hard to photograph. I'm based in Berkshire but travel all over the country frequently. Thanks for looking! Joe Edited December 11, 2021 by Joebass Sold 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookPassBabtridge Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I’ve always loved that upper horn shape on these basses, very distinctive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 That looks stunning and I'm sure the quality will be top draw. However, I'm a dyed in the wool 4 stringer so I can't take this off you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get an exact weight tonight but I think it's around 4.5kg/10lbs. It balances perfectly; absolutely no neck dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebass Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Just weighed it with some luggage scales and it came out at 4.5kg Cheers, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SisterAbdullahX Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 I have an SB5000, too. They’re seriously underrated basses! There must only be a handful of them in the UK, too. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
