This isva beautifully made bass. If this was an Alembic, it would have sold for 4-5 grand, and would have a resale value of at least 2-grand... Sad that as a Carvin, and although it was masterfully crafted, it has nowhere near the resale value it should have... I think that's a great deal for $700....

Or an LB75. The XB-models are extra long scale (35" and 36"), the LB is the regular 34" scale version.
Very pretty! I have an all-black one that I like a lot.

Agreed 100% on all counts. Carvin continues to be the most underrated bass brand on the used market. If the world made sense, this bass should bring between $1200- $1500. You shouldn’t even be able to think about it for less than a grand.

Under the new Kiesel name used prices appear to be higher now. They have a huge following of young shredders and djentlemen.
