Old car vin history Videos

@kuhny2191 WOW 50$?!?!?! hahaha, dude it's probably the best deal you'll get in your entire life haha. It's worth alot, some guys bought it for 1000$ the average price seems to be 600$ and my friend and I found one for 450$ only can't wait!! getting it today :) It's a high quality amp and so much versatile!

$500 for a complete half stack isn't bad at all. Do you know roughly what year? These things have some great history. I love the story, of all the models they've been through they had to bring back the X100B, its classic sound is incredible.

I paid $500 for my head/cab and thought I got a good deal... sheesh, I'll give you a 100 for it ;)

@kuhny2191 Holy Sh- i paid $240 for mine and i thought it was a great deal!

I think that it should be miked especially if you play with a drummer. But this amp is quite loud if you crank it (up? not sure of my english here). So for 50 people it can be enough if you play with a "gentle" drummer but for 100 people mike it and if your drummer is like "heavy and punchy type" mike it ;-)

Ces vidéos ont été tournées à l'occasion de la reprise de la distribution de Carvin en France par WSL après des années de "non distribution" sans se soucier de ce qui était nouveau ou non.

çà fait plus de 10 ans qu'il existe avec son grand frère le Carvin 50 Watt 2 Corps et aussi le Combo...Bref,Carvin les ressort des tirroirs???

Those glasses are en old Alain Mikli model found in a kind of "pawn shop" in Paris. Judge always look for "cheap sunglasses" ;-)

Great tone and great playing. Your glasses really complete the video. You need to go to Hollywood.

I really want to know where he got the glasses. It's awesome.

Very helpful demonstration. Thank you!

If u can read there are captions ;-)

nice

Yeah !

nice!

ordered an SB5000 last year and getting PB5 later this year. Out of the box, carvins are good to go, loved it.

+Bass Whisperer TV Lol, you read that wall of text? Ed, your reviews couldn't be more perfect. I appreciate every one of them.

+Bass Whisperer TV Yes, I believe it's time to change it up. Thank you!

Well, in general terms yes. Bolt-ons are by nature "punchier" than neck-throughs, but there are always exceptions. I think the PB is a great example of the P Bass platform... if all you play is neck-throughs... maybe it's time for some variety? I think the Xccelerator looks very interesting, but the headstock is a deal breaker for this old guy! ;)

Being a longtime Fender guy, it sounds like the Lull might be the way to go for me. Although, I'm sure it would probably cost at least 2x as much as the Carvin! I've been to Mike's shop many times, he's got really nice basses, but they're not cheap. You do get what you pay for, though. I think the 35" scale would help that B string really ring out, too. Thanks for the insight!

I don't remember the specific settings on the amp... but usually I run the Bass at 9:00, Mids flat and treble flat. I may have messed with the miss a bit, don't remember.This is a nice bass. Compared to the Lull? Well, the Carvin has a more modern vibe, the neck plays more like a hotrod boutique, where the Lull feels more like a Fender... chunky, rounder, more primitive. The Lull is 35" scale - which changes a lot about the response. The Carvin pickup is a bit grindier compared to the Nordy I have in the Lull. The Lull to me feels more like a passive Fender while the Carvin feels more like a "souped up" P bass. I like both for different reasons.

Great. Looking forward to it.

Yes, at some point I will. I have a backlog right now... I have to get to the Vanquish basses first! The JBs look sweet! 

+Bass Whisperer TV Guess I really have to sit down with one and take it for a test drive. I have an early 90's 2 band, LB6 Fretless I really love. Almost really doesn't need that mid range, but I usually get that from my amp if needed. Thanks again for the review and your input!

If I'm not mistaken... it is possible to rewire some preamps for 9v operation. But honestly, the headroom you get from 18v is a big improvement.

I won't choose for you. But I'll say that the Carvin has a much stronger and clearer B string than the Fender, at least between the two basses that I played. The neck profile on the Carvin is wider and flatter, so that may or may not be your preference - the Fender neck is narrower and rounder.

Yes, I always record the bass coming out of the amp, and I play LOUD! Just like you want to! I figure that's the way you're going to hear the bass when you play it...

+MomoTheBellyDancer We actually have our US website available World-Wide and we are selling direct, check it out //www.carvinguitars.com/

+ron bZoom I have a EBMM Bongo 6 that I've been using for 4 years, and I pretty much consider it the benchmark for a 6 string bass guitar [based upon 28 years of playing a myriad of basses]. That being said, I'm VERY interested in the Vanquish 6. It is so intriguing that I am eyeing one that they have currently in stock for immediate availability.

+ron bZoom Well a few of MM Bongo artists have recently switched over... David Darocha from Born of Osiris and Raad Sudani from Volumes

+dcjazz5 I feel the same way. The single coils have a brighter and more clear sound, although a little thinner. Can always work with that though if there's a little EQ available from the bass or amp. Just ordered the VB5 with the singles, same as the Vanquish bass.

+GodsBass I have usually had good service from them. Even outstanding at times. Curious about the PB5. I have one too. I yanked their preamp and installed a John East in mine. Not hard to do, but $325. Love the bass now. There wasn't anything wrong with their pre, I'm just so used to the East that I couldn't help myself. :-)

I purchased the Carvin PB5 in Feb of this year, it is a great bass when its working. I had issues with my design and had to send it back, then the electronics had to be changed so it went back a second time. And two weeks ago I had to pay $100 to send it back again because something is wrong with the electronics. I am having issues getting someone from Customer Service to give me an update. So I havn't had all the warm fuzzies with my Carvin expierience.

Ohhhh, fabuloso . genial, me encantó!!!!

+Carvin Guitars Alright.  Thank you!

+JAldwin Humbuckers are better suited to capture the frequency of fretless better.

I own three Carvin basses, though not one of these yet.  You can't go wrong with a Carvin bass.  Buy one...or more.  You'll thank me later.I use their amplification as well.  Good stuff!  Yes, I am a Carvin whore.
