Default NBD: Orange flavored Carvin goodness

Fell back to my auction trolling ways last week and seeing if there was anything nice on the ol' 'bay. Here, my friends, is the result of that trolling.

A Carvin LB70 Anniversary 4 string bass from the late 90's for the low price of $450 (new and stock is $1500 from Carvin direct). Plays like a dream. Didn't have the original case but that's no big.

Strung her up with some 40-95 Elixirs (really digging them Elixirs) and off we go.

Specs!

Translucent orange
Alder body with AAAA flamed maple top, walnut center layer
Rounded body sides
5-piece maple/walnut neck, neck-through
Ebony fingerboard with no inlays
24 medium-jumbo frets
J99A Alnico single coils
Wilkinson bridge
Gold hardware

Pics!
