I can finally slap-a-da bass

Here’s my new 5 string Carvin Icon bass ( IC5WP ).  Not the best photo shoot, but good enough.  I’m in love with this bass.  It took me almost two years of waiting, and now my precious is in my possession.  While I doubt this will be my last bass, this is the Carvin I’ve been waiting for.

When the bass arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find the new HC8 bass case.  When I placed my order, I decided to get the ABS Hardshell Bass Case since I had the vintage tweed last time.  The ABS is the fatter rocker case.  This HC8N case is hot.  Tight and slim just like the tweed case which I had with my previous bass.  Thank you for sending me the hot case Carvin
