Mikeg Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 After trawling the internet I am now very interested in Carvin guitars, their basses look very nice, and Ed Friedland's review of the sb500 was very possitive. Also their bass amps look very nice too, and ive heard they have very reasonable prices. But theres the problem, I cant find any prices anywhere. Anyone know how much their basses and guitars are priced at? Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Unless you buy second-hand I believe that they are made to order. They are not ridiculously expensive however. It all depends on the spec you choose from the options that you will find on their website. I would certainly consider one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Most of the guys on the US forums think very highly of them - and their amps & cabs too. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3V17C Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 definitely a brand thats more well known in the US... but yes they do make some nice looking gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc2009 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Some very attractive instruments. IMO they always have old basic models which struggle to sell on ebay over here. They're not the kind of thing people typically search for, and as a result have very few or no bidders! They're new brand of instruments which are essentially made to order look fantastic (I just had a play with their guitar builder on their site), they only had one neck option for a 5 string bass, however, and I'd be wary of buying anything made to order from overseas when you have no idea what the neck profile feels like!

Vibrating G String Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 [quote name='Mikeg' post='1289866' date='Jul 2 2011, 12:51 AM']But theres the problem, I cant find any prices anywhere.[/quote] The prices on the website are the direct price as they don't wholesale to retailers and new ones only come from Carvin. Used they can be quite a bargain. I've never preferred their amps but there's nothing wrong with them, their guitars and basses tend to be high quality though it's been about 5 years since I played a new one.
