This is the first IC5 to hit the Player's Gallery, and it's a nice one.  Moot received it in April of 2006, so it was one of the first 5-string models made. 

Features include Sapphire Blue finish on flamed maple with matching headstock and no-show top, no inlays on the fingerboard, black hardware, and an asymmetrical wide neck.

And this is the first IC6 to appear in the Player's Gallery.  It's a real beauty, with a gorgeous figured walnut top and matching headstock.  Other features include a 5-piece maple/walnut neck, abalone dot inlays, alder body, and chrome hardware.  Blake says:

"The only word that comes to mind is "amazed." I am still in absolute awe. I've been playing a bass that was, essentially, one of the first mass-production six string guitars made. Definitely one of the first to gain popularity. And to jump from that trailblazer (which, like all trailblazers, had problems) to this marvelous instrument is absolutely breathtaking. I set everything to the center indent, pushed the pot in for active, and turned the amp on. Immediately I was amazed at the clarity of tone. The strings that came on the guitar are a bit bright for my tastes, but nothing a bit of EQ'ing can't fix until time to change strings. Speaking of EQ - the active EQ on the Icon is pretty extreme. You can pretty much get any tone you've ever dreamed of. The mid-sweep is so extreme that you can get a fairly decent wah tone by sweeping back and forth. The feel powered up is wonderful, and the notes just sing effortlessly from the guitar. It's much, much easier to tap than my old Ibanez. I do alot of chordal, "solo bass" arrangements for my lessons with Bailey, and the Ibanez was impossible to balance.  Anything tapped in the low register would either not sound, or sound entirely too loud. But, with the Carvin, I have complete control over the dynamics - even in passive mode. I attribute this low tension. It doesn't take nearly as much pressure to tap notes. And with the right EQ'ing (a little push in the mids, with the sweep just below the center indent, and then turn down the volume to compensate) that metallic sound so associated with tapped bass can be virtually eliminated."
