for those of you who tolerated my raving about it in the chatroom here are some of the photos I promised!

(Quick run down):

solid ash '75(clone) jazz body
DiMarzio Ultrajazz pickups
2Meg pots
Wenge neck with fretless ebony fingerboard
G&L anchored bridge
Aria 4 bolt neck plate(so it has a serial #!!)
NOT for sale!

edit: img tags didn't seem to work, so I reckon you'll have to click the links
below is the beautiful body:

Total cost for me was about half what a new-ish american Fender would cost, and quality is about twice what a new-ish american Fender would give me, so I'm a HAPPY chicken!

Thats a beautiful instrument. Much nicer than my yamaha

Nice! did you do that sunburst yourself, or was it already on the body?

My buddy (who incidentally is one of the best ameture bassists I have ever seen) ordered a roscoe just recently. GROWL!

I own a Carvin B4.

The body was already finished, all I did was picked out my parts and pieced it together(with help!). I'm a big Carvin fan.. they're price point is amazing for what they deliver, it's just a shame they're so difficult to find in stores to try out. I suspect that if that wasn't the case, a LOT more people would be playing carvin amps and instruments.

cheers!

Nice Axe!

I have a Carvin Bass also. I've thrown up a few pics for you folks to look at.

I can only remember some of the specs, like:

LB75(P)

Neck through (duh)

Deep Purple on quilted maple with matching headstock

Abalone block inlays (because I suck and need extra help finding my fingers)

Flatwounds (only flatwounds for me)

Carvin does some beautiful sunburst jobs. The tobacco sunburst on quilted maple is beautiful.

For what I paid for this axe, I could barely even get a well-made 4-string from other manufacturers.

Do my eyes serve me correctly? Are those the piezo pickups on the bridge? if so, how do those sound?
