Personal friend of Fred's. Fred acquired the LB76 in the early 90s from the Hollywood Carvin location. Found that he liked a 5 string better than a 6, but loved the Carvin. He re-shaped headstock, added new nut and changed the 6 to a wide neck 5 string. I handled A.R. for APC Pickups at the time and supplied the pickups for this bass. Has been in use many years.
