Dingus Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I know the Peavey Brian Broberg basses fron the early 90's are sought after nowadays by certain folks . These look to be an update on that design , and I expect they are comfortable and well- balanced . Edited June 23, 2013 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I like it, very 80's, and tonnes of people rave about Carvin - I don't do purple though, a nice ocean turquoise for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-bbb Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 imho the colour look s a bit too loud in that pic - like it's been 'shopped a wee bit to increase the saturation or luminance to make the purple even more 'wow' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I've played a couple of these and they are seriously nice. The neck profile must be about the slimmest I've ever tried and with the great fretwork that you get in Carvins they are a dream to whiz around The finish will be the 'triple step' option which really brings out the depth of the flame and curly maple tops (especially on darker colours). This one is pretty cool : http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product-category/bass-guitars/carvin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Lovely colour! I've only played a couple of Carvins (a friend of mine has a 6 string bass) but they've all been top notch quality-wise, as good as anything I've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 so he's had the same sig model by Peavey, Dean and now Carvin? I remember tentatively enquiring with Bill Lewington/Dean about that version. In the right colour it's a corking looking bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 different strokes for different folks, but looks a bit dull to me. sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Flamed tops are pretty bling to begin with but putting a translucent colour over them makes for a hideous looking bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I think it's a bit pointy... so slightly '80s. He's done the same design with loads of companies which I can't remember - Peavey? Purple looks quite nice... Gassing for the Carvin Allan Holdsworth guitar too. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In the right colour these look really cool I think. I've helped spec a few up for people but I don't know anyone who's bought one. I'd really like to see one in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Is that a bass collection comfort strap? Hope his snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
