For sale, my Carvin XB-75P: £650

I've had this from new since I lived in the USA & bought it circa 2004. The top is bookmatched flamed koa, neck is a 5-piece through laminate with ebony 'board.






Three pick-ups, Stacked humbucker in the front, mm-style in the midle & a piezo under the bridge.

Top controls are volume, magnetic pup balance, and balance between piezo and meagnetic.
lower is a three band eq and a coil tap.

More details on the electrics etc are available on the [url="http://www.carvinmuseum.com/playersgallery/xb75.html"]carvin museum site[/url].

It's got wide string spacing (~18mm) and an asymmetrical neck, and plenty of room between the front pup & board for slapping.

Comes with a OHSC. Shipping negotiable.

You're welcome to try it out in Thorpe (near Egham) and I can deliver to the centre of London if you want to save shipping.

I'd prefer a straight cash sale, but I'm open to trade offers for 4s, particularly precision-style.

N.B. At one point I had this tuned F#-B-E-A-D - I'll include the strings & nut in case anyone wants to try this tuning out.

Can you tell me more (there seem to be so many ways to switch an MM pickup). I'm guessing it's a two way switch single-coil / double coil ?

Yup: up= humbucker, down = s/c.

No series / parallel switching available.

Bump 'n' a post holiday price bump.
