You can give Noble a call at 858-GUITARS to talk about this guitar if you have further questions.To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Carvin Guitars' popular Icon Series basses, these models have been updated with new features and electronics to further improve upon their already exceptional tone and playability. The contemporary, ergonomic shape if the IC6 has been improved with a deeper body cutaway for improved comfort, a chambered body option has been added to reduce weight, and the headstock now is a 3-piece design just like the body (the main neck wood, the matching exotic wood overlay, and a thin black layer in the middle). New electronics consist of plain enamel wire Kiesel Radium KRH radiused humbuckers (as on the Vanquish) with a split-coil neck pickup optional, as well as optional single-coil Kiesel Radium KRJ radiused pickups available. The pickups have also been re-positioned slightly, in a more tone-enhancing "sweet spot". The new curved control layout is more modern, and our new 18V active/passive electronics provide all the tone any bassist could want. The new Icon Series basses have excellent playability and premium features usually reserved for boutique instruments, and because we sell direct to you, you can design a fully-custom USA-made bass at a price that can't be beat. Hundreds of available options allow you to order your Icon exactly the way you want it.   

The IC6 is built at the Kiesel Guitars Custom Shop in Escondido, California.
