MacDaddy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) with the imminent arrival of my Iceni Zoot, and a return to 4 strings, I now have for sale my 5 string Carvin LB75P. It's been my main gigging bass for a while now, USA made, HB, J, & piezzo. Switchable HB, runs active or passive, and even runs passive without batteries. 3 band EQ. There are a couple of ever so minor blemishes as you would expect from a gigged bass, but they haven't shown in the pics. There is a nick out of the edge of the 15th fret, above the B string and position dot. I have tried to show this in the pic. Comes with the Carvin hard case.

I'm after [size=4]£399.99[/size] cash and collection - I'm in Roehampton (that London), Here's the science Here's the nick Here's the bass I've just Googled this bass, and first thing it brings up in the UK search is my post in the basses owned thread on here! cheers Simon Edited December 1, 2008 by MacDaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornybank Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I had a blue one back in the '80s. Awesome build quality - and I am a sucker for a deep gloss finish. Blue, it was. Crackin'. A chap in Wales ended up with it when I 'chucked the lot' and went back to brass banding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sorry about asking an inconsequential question, but is that a through-neck? If so, one of the more subtle through necks I've seen. Or noticed. It's a very nice looking bass all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
