So how attached can you be to an inanimate object? Turns out, pretty damn attached. This weekend, back in Michigan, I found out some rotten fucker stole my custom Carvin LB75 bass. I’m a lefty, and I play 5-string, neck-through basses, and there are very few of those in the world. Add to it that I saved for a year to buy this one, and had it painted in an obnoxious, sparkly “harlequin prismatique” finish, and you’ve got one rare bass. The guys at Carvin told me they made less than 10 of this same combination.
I will never get this gem back. I played over 100 shows with it, and it was my pride and joy for the longest time. I like unique things, and this puppy was unique. Under the stage lights, it looked like molten glass.
The serial number was 68706. That’s stamped on the base of the fretboard, right down at the body. If anyone ever sees an instrument like this, please, email me scott@scottsigler.net. The picture below is a close-up of an identical instrument, except that this one has black knobs while mine had silver.

Said theives also made away with an Ibanez RG7420-BPL left handed, 7-string guitar. Ibanez only made 50 of these. Hard to find left 7-string guitars with a tremolo - I found one, and now it’s gone as well. The serial number on that one is F0021555.
Fuck.
