Theis Carvin BB75 5-string bass in Natural pairs a quilted maple top over an alder body with the kind of boutique build quality Carvin (now Kiesel) built its reputation on — neck-through construction, an asymmetrical maple neck, and premium appointments throughout. This used example weighs 9.62 lbs. and shows real play wear consistent with its "good condition" grade: light scratches and swirling in the clearcoat, several small dings on the body top including two through the finish near the D and G strings, dings on the sides and back, three missing control cover screws, some edge wear at the headstock tip, and light fret wear. It comes with the original Carvin molded hardshell case.

The neck-through maple neck carries a comfortable asymmetrical profile capped with an ebony fingerboard, pearloid dot inlays, a 14" radius, 24 jumbo frets, and a full 34" scale length built for low-B clarity and tension. A 1.75" Tusq nut and gold-finished Sperzel locking tuners keep tuning fast and stable, while a Hipshot A-style bridge in matching gold hardware delivers solid string-to-string balance and sustain across all five strings.

A pair of Bartolini pickups in the middle and bridge positions gives this BB75 the punchy, hi-fi low end and articulate top end Bartolini electronics are known for, dialed in through a full active EQ section — volume, pickup blend/pan, and dedicated bass, midrange, and treble controls — for serious tonal shaping on the fly. Whether you're a working bassist who needs five-string range for funk, prog, or modern rock, or a Carvin/Kiesel collector after a neck-through boutique build, this BB75 delivers. This Natural BB75 5-string includes the original Carvin hardshell case. Order today from Brian's Guitars.
