NBD ( one of the most ugly Charvels they ever made ) CSM2B

[amimbari]

ya it is, but not for long because I have a spare pointyhead neck laying on the shelf

but for 115 shipped I just HAD to have it I guess.... to me the whole CX series heads were ugly!!!
The CSM2B was a short run before the CX/TX series came out, but still just as shitty looking since they didn't use the toothpaste logo yet.
at least the frikken thing is not plywood

.

Not liking the headstock, or the chrome, but I still like it.

[amimbari]

yea, an unusual item, but it plays like any of the other ones I have

[Accept2]

Not sure why that is considered ugly. Plain maybe a better word...........

[peabuddy]

put the 2b neck on it and burn that fugly neck! lol

[amimbari]

ya Rob, probably this weekend. ( but I wont burn the CSM neck it has perfect frets and is straight. )

[EvilOdin]

Guess I'm in the minority, but I think it looks pretty sweet the way it is.

[amimbari]

well everything is for sale at the right price

[peabuddy]

You know u was just doggin ya Mike! lol I'm jealous you keep getting more and more basses and I'm gonna have to start selling some!i

[amimbari]

I actually bought a bundle of guitar boxes from U-line when I sold off my Kramer since you can't just buy one from them so who knows, a few of them may be on the selling list this summer.
And you know I'll buy it only if they are cheap, because I AM A cheapskate bargain hunter.
These Ebay weirdos trying to get 600-1000 for a 3B and 500+ for a 2B?...hahaha too funny.

But yes I will still put the pointy neck on it provided some idiot did not say "change the neck pocket diameter" for the CCSM/CX series and it don't fit.

[amimbari]

one final post... I did try to put the 2B neck on it...nope they made the pocket smaller so I said oh well, and threw the parts on the shelf and that is that. Some day I'll put it back together and sell it.

[peabuddy]

Maybe a 1b will fit?

[amimbari]

and the el-shitto bridge:


I only have one 1b left, and it is mint and perfect so I'm not gonna even take the neck off to try just yet, but ya it looks like that would work, and if it does and I can find a nice 1b cheap, I'll do the swap and sell the CSM neck on ebay for 20 bucks.

[Accept2]

Wow, that is a shit bridge. Never seen a cheap bridge like that ever.........

[amimbari]

well they reserved the nice bridge in that time period for the more expensive JX and JP units .the CSM and CX were the Charvettes.






EDIT: and I can't believe someone heard me talking about a shitty bass and now has a CX490 on ebay for parts hahaha
