The bass is a red quilted maple top with gold hardware. The serial number is 45519. Im not sure what model it is because I am not the original owner of the bass but from what I gathered it is from the mid 90s. I got the information here http://www.carvinmuseum.com/whatmodelbass.html It also has a dropped tuning key on the B-string. I also put on a couple months ago some D` Addario XL Chromes flatwound strings that are in great condition. It comes with the tan/brown case shown in the pictures.
