My "new to me" Carvin fretless 5 (with pics)

Post by crabby »

You may remember her from the "For Sale" section. The photos in the for sale thread were not as flattering as one would think. This bass is drop dead gorgeous in person! I'm still working on setting it up to maximize the mwah factor, but so far she is a dream to play. Now if only I was any good at fretless! haha.

This is my "new to me" 2001 LB75P fretless in Tobacco Sunburst. I really wanted a fretless five string with no fret lines but had no idea if I would be able to realistically play one. So this was an amazing opportunity to aquire a very respectable instrument at about 1/3 of the price of a new one. This may never be my number one bass, but she sure is inspiring me to play lately. I snapped a bunch of pics yesterday on the back deck.
