That is a fine, fine bass. Quite a joy to play. I had marked it as a keeper until @Reasonably_Happy pointed out that it was still listed on OfferUp. I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss it yesterday afternoon.

It’s not far away @JustTim.
In your defense, the time between “Do you still have this?” And me showing up at your house like, an hour? So it was a bit sudden. But we made room for your new machine!!! Can’t wait to see pics. The sunshine today is perfect!!

Now @joergkutter, what in the world would prompt you to say something like that?
Look at it this way: Jesse will very likely make a tidy profit on the inevitable sale back.

If my brother @JustTim decided he “needed” it back, I would do so at a not inflated price… provided he gave me a credit and a discounted price on the Dimension! See! I’m amicable!

So, you’re actually putting down a fully-refundable deposit to borrow and play the newly acquired indefinitely? Plus, get a discount on all subsequent and inevitable sale items? Cool!

Pretty much. That sounds way better than binge, purge, and my own weird brand of codependency. Ha ha ha

Ok, so, it arrived just a few minutes ago. I’ve tuned it up and played on it the 6 songs I know… what a joy. And what a surprisingly amazing sounding instrument. I tried to get some good outdoors pictures to really show the finish and condition, but alas and alack, I am not that good of a photographer. So here are some inside pics:
This is a Carvin TBS-4, the Timothy B. Schmitt (bassist for The Eagles) signature bass. It’s very close to an LB20, but has a thinner neck, a shapelier body, two H50N stacked humbucking pickups, and only one knob: volume.
They seem to be pretty darned rare; they were only made (or at least, are in the Carvin catalog) for three years, I think, and this was the first one I’d ever seen for sale aftermarket. Truth be told, this is the first one I’ve ever seen in person. And this one is in super mint condition. Here are some more pics:
Here are the crappy outside pics I took:
