Carlsbro. A blast from the past.

Carlsbro in trace clothing.  Always sounds better with a green front panel 🙂 

Weren't Carlsbro Green before Trace Elliot?

Used to go to a rehearsal room about 9/10 years ago that was kitted out with modern Carlsbro gear. It was OK. Nothing particularly special, but it did the job. An improvement on their 80s/90s gear, for sure, but still with a whiff of old Peavey about them. Unremarkable, but ubiquitous and relatively bulletproof. 

 

I notice, with this latest "Viper" range, they're doing what they did with Delta Bass all those years ago - keeping the word "Carlsbro" well away from public view!

Really? Interesting. 

 

My cobra was black and white. Had to upgrade to a gp12smx to get the green glow.

Looks like the Carlsbro swap to green happened around the same time as Trace Elliot were making their first bass amps (1979/1980)
