Selling this used left-handed Carvin six-string bass in fair condition. I believe this is what was called the LB76 model. It's a really cool neck-through bass with active pickups, though it has numerous dings and scratches, especially around the contours of the body, as well as a bit on the top of the headstock, and just generally all around. The most prominent cosmetic flaw is some buckle rash on the back of the body, where it looks like someone spent many hours practicing with the instrument, but also wearing down the finish in that area. Aside from the cosmetic issues noted above and shown in the pics, there are some issues with the electronics. The knobs produce a very scratchy sound when turned (some more than others), and I don't know what's causing the noise. I never had it fixed because the bass worked for my purposes of practicing on my own in my home, but it will need to be fixed if you're going to be jamming or performing with others, as the sound will also sometimes cut in and out depending on the turning of the knobs. Hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to fix, especially if you are able to work with electronics, but I can't guarantee anything, and I would recommend taking it to an expert. This might be an issue with the pre-amp, but it might just be the knobs. I have tried to factor that all into my asking price and I hope you will do the same. I don't know all the specs, but it seems like the neck is maple with an ebony fretboard, and the body pieces look to be something like mahogany or walnut. The bridge is some kind of Wilkinson. One of the knobs is non-original. There is also some fretwear, but this hasn't been an issue for me. The tuners appear to be original. The truss rod cover is missing.It's currently tuned to B-E-A-D-G-C and has been sitting unplayed for a while, so it could use a setup to your specifications, but it is a nice instrument overall with a lot of potential, especially if you can work out the electronics issue. I think this would be about $1200 new, so you could save a lot of money by buying this one and working on it a bit.Will ship safely in an old RoadRunner gig bag with a few random extra strings (some new, some old) included. Please let me know if you have any questions.Item is being sold "as is" with no returns. I will ship using FedEx Ground usually within 24 hours of receiving payment. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability. I can ship to most places in the world, but buyer is responsible for all shipping charges, import fees, etc. associated with sale and import. Thanks for looking!
