The 1984 Carvin LB40K in Koa is a beautifully distinctive American-made four-string bass that combines the natural elegance of Koa with a straightforward, professional design built for tone, feel, and sustain. Crafted in the USA by Carvin, this 34" scale bass features a Koa body and matching Koa neck, giving the instrument a warm, resonant character and an unmistakable visual appeal. The natural beauty of the Koa grain makes this a particularly handsome example of Carvin's early bass craftsmanship.

The neck is fitted with an ebony fingerboard and the original frets retain approximately 95% of their playing surface, offering plenty of life for continued use. Its 34" scale length provides the familiar feel and string tension expected from a full-scale professional bass, while the combination of Koa and ebony creates a comfortable and responsive playing experience. The original Carvin humbucker delivers a strong, focused voice with plenty of depth and presence, making this LB40K equally suited to classic, rock, and studio applications.

Hardware includes a Badass bridge and a solid brass nut, a combination that contributes to the bass's excellent sustain, stability, and authoritative response. The simplicity of the original Carvin pickup and hardware configuration allows the natural character of the instrument to come through, while the substantial construction gives this bass a satisfying resonance and long, singing sustain.

Weighing 8 lbs 3 oz, this 1984 Carvin LB40K offers a substantial yet manageable feel and comes complete with a hard shell case. With its USA construction, Koa body and neck, ebony fingerboard, original Carvin humbucker, Badass bridge, brass nut, and well-preserved original frets, this is a compelling vintage Carvin bass with plenty of character, history, and musical potential.
