Bought this after an active-only Peavey Cirrus and as a backup to my (now sold) Overwater Progress.

 

Pop the volume control up for passive.

Thats a lovely looking bass. You have to love a Carvin. Understated, classy, top notch build quality, USA made...I'll stop now as I've realised I'm talking myself into buying it...😂

GLWTS.

Thank you - I always used to end up Jonesin' for the Carvins when they appeared in Bass Magazine, plus all my books were by Ed Friedland (when he was endorsed).

 

I've just put a brand new set of strings on for the next owner.

Final bump...

Wonderful instruments!  GLWTS

Any idea on the string spacing @ the bridge? 

 

Thanks.
