Carvin BB75 Bunny Brunel signature model - 5 string £695 ONO - *SOLD* £695 Bow - East London

[Al Krow]

Lovely example of a Carvin BB in very good condition.

 

The only significant 'blemish' that I can tell is where the paint has faded at different speeds depending on exposure to the light. I very recently upgraded the stock preamp with a brand new Glock 3 band EQ, which was professionally installed by one of our own BC luthiers, and showcases the tonal versatility of the instrument with single coil and double coil switch options also available for both pups. 

 

Weight 10.1 lbs and 19 mm string spacing with body-through stringing.

Comes with bespoke Carvin hard case.

 

Ideally - available for collection from East London but willing to travel a reasonable distance to meet half way and am pretty regularly in the Birmingham and Cambridge vicinity, too. Will consider couriering (additional P&P) if meeting up is not possible.

Hi Al. Few questions please: Preamp 9v or 18v? Glock preamps are generally active-passive on the volume pot,is yours? Nut width please? Asymmetrical neck profile?

 

Kind regards.

 

Terry.

[Terry M.]

Oh and sorry,does the double/coil switching option(s) include both series and parallel,so a 3-way switch or 2-way for single and one double coil option?

[Al Krow]

Hi Terry,

• It's a 9V 3 band Glock EQ: this one with active / passive on the volume pot;
• Nut width: 44mm;
• Slightly asymmetric neck profile - you clearly know your Carvins!
• The switching is 2 way i.e. single / double coil.

 

Two other Qs asked by PM:

• I do still have the original EQ (which I can include).
• The model was originally built to spec for a fella by the name of Frank Felix, a session musician, and his name appears on the truss rod cover

Hope that helps 🙂

Thanks Al that's good info mate  

 

Regards.

 

Terry.

a lot of bass for the money…

 

I think Frank Felix has a ring to it…my friends could call me Franko and I would be the envy of all the other bass players in town.

 

Damn it…that would be so, so cool. I’d be cool, accepted, respected…I could become the…mayor, MAYOR OF BASS TOWN!

That looks an awful lot of bass for the money. These appear to get loads of love over on Talkbass

Crumbs! What a wonderful looking bass. I thought that the BB's had offset fret markers but I could be wrong. That bass is going to make someone very happy!

Cheers! Definitely a BB75 according to the warranty card, but it was a bespoke spec for Frank Felix so may differ a little from "standard".

Still available bud?

...and sold! Was sounding absolutely brilliant in the hands of the fella who just popped over and bought it off me! If it had been a touch lighter, I definitely wouldn't have parted with it, but it's gone to a very good home!
