So I got a 1986 Carvin LB60 from a friend a few days ago as a project bass. It's still in decent condition except for the fact that it doesn't have any pickups, one tone/volume knob, and rarely any electronics in it at all. So my question of course is how do I go about getting this up and playing? I've been to Carvin's site and looked at the bass electronic's kits they offer but is that all I need to get it to work? Also, what kind of pickups can I put in it? There are two "slots" for pickups. Any ideas?

Does it still have the tuners and a bridge? If its still got that all you need is strings and pickups by the sounds of it, and yea you can pretty much put in whatever pickups you want but bear in mind the hole placements and pickup sizes, best bet would probably be to order some of the carvin pickups and get em installed. Hope I helped
