This is my first time selling a bass here, so I make any faux pas be kind ...
Price new from Kiesel/Carvin for this same bass: $1,259 ($1,459 with case)
WHY I AM SELLING
I had a custom LB75 (with a rare, discontinued harlequin prismatique finish) stolen from me a decade ago. I bought the bass I'm selling here as a way to fill that gap. Recently, they brought back the harlequin prismatique finish for a limited time, so I sprung to have Kiesel recreate my stolen bass from scratch. Now that I have it, the Green Monster is up for sale!
FLAWLESS CONDITION
I've never used it at a gig. I'm the second owner: neither of us took the bass out of the house. There isn't a mark on this bad boy. The finish is like green glass. It looks like it just came from the factory.
TONS OF BANG FOR THE BUCK
I've owned four LB75s (this is the third of mine). They are great instruments, with a tone versatility unlike anything I've played. I have Warwicks ($$, Streamer, Buzzard), a Rickenbacker 4003s5 (the original, not the most-recent version), MusicMan Stingray 5 and Bongo 5, and a Sandberg California. All of those have their specific range of tones that they crush, but none have the versatility of the LB75.

[*]Original hardshell case: Carvin/Keisel doesn't seem to offer HSC for bass anymore (looks like only guitar), so this is a nice $200 bonus.
{*}A couple of scuffs and tears on the case telex, but it's in solid shape (damage on the case, not the instrument, as it should be[/list]
I have more pics if you request them.
