Sean's LB76F
Carvin BBS ID: LB76F_Slapper
 |
Hailing from New Hampshire,
here is Sean and his 2001 LB76F. A good looking bass, with koa body
sides, gold hardware, satin finish, and a nice blank fingerboard - no dots or
fretlines.

Yeah, it's not a
Carvin, but anyone who stands on and plays an upright is OK by me! |

Sean scored this gorgeous
bass on eBay - luckily, before I could. But this one was hard
for me to pass up - I love the Kahler bass tremolo, and I'm also a
huge fan of koa wood. It appears to be an 1987
model, based on the serial number, curved logo, 20-fret neck and H11B
pickups & control configuration. It's a great example of
what Carvin was doing in the 80's.
|
| With his latest eBay find,
Sean has moved from the ranks of "enthusiast" to
"collector" (at least by my definition). On the far
right is Sean's latest addition, a mid-80's LB40, in koa
(naturally!). This one had some upgrades done at some point in
it's life, including a Bartolini pickup and Wilkinson bridge. |
