Hello,

i knooooow... that's not a Warwick.... a shame....
but with the money, I SWEAR I'll buy a Warwick ;)


FS or FT this Carvin LB76 W, custom made.

very rare bass in Europe, quite impossible to find,
very good bass, so easy to play, and good balanced.

the 18v preamp is a tiger, who drives 2 pickups which could made think of Nordstrands pickups, things like that.
Sound very clean, punchy, with beautiful and clear low ends.
It is definetily not a bass to play heavy-trash-metal-jazz-punk music, but there is a growl inside which allows you to play some nasty things if you want.... I did ;)

For sale : 1400€
can be sent in EU,
delivered with Carvin Hard Case, and every tool you need.... and new Ken Smith strings (the bass is equipped with Warwick strings !!)

option :
I have a Bartolini 4 pole Humbucker for 6 string bass, of needed I can add it for a little bit more $$$$



For Trade :
my best wish is a Dolphin Pro I fretted , the older is the better (1989 is a dream) and a 5 string is welcome.
But I'll consider every Warwick bass you could offer me. (5 fretted and 6 fretless welcome)


SOON some other basses/guitars to sale/trade : if interested , just MP me !
Hofner 500/1 1968
Godin ACS-SA blue
one of my marvelous Jolana Rubin Bas 1972 (I've 3 of them, VERY rare instruments !!)

hey everybody !

today I made my practice exercices on this Carvin.....
and I decided to change a little bit my offer.

this bass is a real wonder,
and is now only available for trade !

I cannot let it go for such a cheap price .....

so I'd like to TRADE this beauty , only for some Warwick basses, with CASH if necessary :
- Dolphin (5 strings fretted, 1989 or 90's 4 strings)
- Streamer (6 fretless the best -Jenz' is perfect to me, hope we'll find a deal-, 5 fretted ok)
- every other good 5 fretted or 6 fretless warwick can be proposed ! .... and if you propose me a great 4 strings, I'll maybe be ok too !! I'm a Warwick addict ^^



I'm sure you will be a thousand guys to contact me immediately ! ... or not..... hum


best regards !

great to play Ostinato bass lines !
45 min with 3 notes, tempo 170, looking at your bass top.... and you save the money of a bottle of Blended scotch : you're totally drunk

hello,

what a Pity, nobody bought me this bass.
a lot of propositions, but very trade offers I received did not interest me...... ( a lot of Bolt on necks, which I don't like....)
in the meantime, a friend of mine lent me a great fretless 6 string bass, for a loooon time.
so I can change a little bit the rules :

For Trade, I am opened to 4 strings NT or SN Warwick basses
(no Fortress & Corvette, no BO)



I hope this Carvin bass will find a new owner, because she's sad to to be played.........
