Kiesel's LB basses are the direct-order line that grew out of the Carvin catalogue, with a wide options list and no dealer network.
Watch
Why it matters
Kiesel sells direct from its own workshop, so every bass is configured to order and the total depends on the options chosen. The LB series has been the mainstay of the catalogue since the Carvin years and covers four to six strings. Because pricing is build-specific, there is no single list price for the range.
Note
Carvin/Kiesel bass platforms.

Before you buy

- buying direct means fewer chances to try an instrument first
