Wylie Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't know if this news will mean much to you-all across the pond, but Carvin's years as a great bass cab and combo maker have come to an end. Carvin will continue making guitars, but no cabs or combos. Their stuff is great--I have a combo and an amp--and what's left of the stock is now being sold at around 20 percent off (off of what are already very good prices, considering the quality). Again, not sure what access you have from your end but thought it worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Thanks. Always really enjoyed Carvin gear. I suppose costs are the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details in the press were sketchy. Apparently the company has come down into the family following the founder's death (or retirement). There was no mention of continuing manufacture with an overseas maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummerbass Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I gigged for several years (and still own) a R600 head and Redeye 4 x 10 cab. Much underrated gear, top build quality and never let me down. On the back of that news I might give it a run out at this weekends gig. I'll book the chiro for Monday just in case.
