I really like that 5 string one. Has a cool paint scheme as well. I wonder what the string spacing is on it? There's so many basses that I would like to be able to try out before buying or have tried a similar model. Unfortunately us lefties don't get that luxury very often.

If you're interested, I'd say, email the seller and ask... with that being said however, I'd say that Carving has followed traditional spacing, which will be right about 3/4"...

The spacing is a .656" or just under 17mm. This was one the standard bridges that Carvin would order. They did use a wider as well, but this one is the narrow bridge.

I should add that the spacing is for the 5-string. The spacing on the 4-string is the 3/4" or 19mm.
