Carvin-Style Bodies

[Caeros]

I'm trying to find a 4-string bass body that is compatible with a Carvin-bolt on neck and pickups (not the traditional shape). The only ones I've found so far were ar www.gregoryjonesguitars.com, who I may not be able to purchase from. Any suggestions?

I don't know. If they are standard Fender P-Bass compatible, Warmoth should be able to help.

Also, try Lee at GMW/Empire Guitars:

Nope, they aren't P-bass compatible. That's why I'm having trouble.

are they active humbuckers? most likely... hmmm i dont know warmoth is known for selling bits and pieces of basses www.warmoth.com also check out www.customshopparts.com they could help you out

The pickups are stock passive humbuckers.

What I'm wondering is, will the warmoth bodies work with a bolt-on Carvin neck and their stock pickups?

 

[Caeros]

They won't. any other ideas from anyone?

why dont you just look for a fried carvin bass that doesnt work and just steal the body from it? or just see of you cani order a body from carvin?

Yeah, you should be able to order a body from Carvin.

Or Lee at GMW could probably make a custom body for you... he would probably need the neck though.
