SisterAbdullahX Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Rather excited to say that this week I'll be putting in my order for a Carvin SB5000. Like quite a lot of you out there I've read the rave reviews they get in the States on Talk Bass and seen the vids on You Tube and decided it's time to pull the trigger. I know there's recently been a bit of interest on BC, but no one has gone for one. I'll let you all know what I think when it arrives in a couple of months time! I would also be very happy for anyone who also is interested in them to come and have a try out. I must also take this opportunity to big up the guys at Bass Gear, who are taking care of my order and have given great service and a great deal. Particular praise to BC's very own molan, a true gent and absolute top man! Anyway, here's a link to one that is pretty much identical to the one I'll be ordering. Forward to 4:50 to hear what it sounds like.

Schnozzalee Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 That's cool man, I'm a Carvin fan - I remember seeing these when they came out and nicer than an early 70's vintage jazz is what i heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I played one of these in a shop last Mon to write a review for musicman20 who was interested in an opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Happy to have been able to help out. I help out at the BassGear showroom every now and then if Phil is busy or needs a day or two out of the 'office'. I always try to give the sort of service I'd expect if I was a customer - besides, placing an order for a new custom build Carvin is pretty exciting too Really looking forward to seeing this one when it comes in!

cocco Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The more I look at this the more I want one. There's just something about it. I don't know what though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
