Not one of the Sam Ash ones. And live in seattle. It's in 9.5 out of 10 shape. Bart pickus and electronics. Will be gigging the next 2 weekends in seattle if ya want to see it. I would put it up against an Alembic any day. sparklekittyandthejuju.com svlilioukalani@gmail.com funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 561 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, April 09, 2010 - 5:31 am:    I love Carvin neck-thru basses. www.carvin.com cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 682 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, April 09, 2010 - 7:21 am:    A five-string for under a grand?

Well under $1000. serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 707 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Friday, April 09, 2010 - 10:30 am:    $800??? benson_murrensun Advanced Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 252 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, April 09, 2010 - 1:13 pm:    Aha, great minds think alike!

Plenty on ebay as well. Mine is trans black of course. richbass939 Senior Member Username: richbass939 Post Number: 1087 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 10, 2010 - 8:32 pm:    If you are also considering used instruments, don't forget about some of the less expensive Alembics. I really like my Epics 4 and 5. Rich hankster Advanced Member Username: hankster Post Number: 238 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Sunday, April 11, 2010 - 6:40 pm:    Hey, Peter, that was funny.
