For sale is my never gigged (only used for rehersals) 2005 Carvin B1500. The amp is in perfect shape, a little dusty but nothing a flip of the lid and a can of duster cant fix. I freaking love this head, but my back is not what it was 5 years ago. I'm a chef and work on my feet 12 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week. With that said, I just bought a Genz Benz Streamliner 900. I'm hoping the GB gives me the warmth this baby has the last 6 years. I pains me to let her go, but I have to do for me and my body. This head has been praised by many folks on this board, and if you google it you will find tons of info on it. Set flat, this thing crushes amps with boosted signals.

Here are the specs from Carvin:
The B1500 mono block bass head offers classic natural bass tone with the high- est power headroom available in any bass amp to date. The B1500 delivers 700w at 8Ω, 1250w at 4Ω and 1900w at 2Ω. The B500 bulges with the same huge tone but delivers 225w at 8 ohms, 350w at 4Ω and 500w at 2Ω.
Four discrete Class A input stages produce the harmonic basis for the preamp right from the input jack. It begins with a boutique flat response, then we add 6 tone controls for you to carve out your signature sound. Harmonic content increases as you turn up the Drive control producing a growl at maximum settings. Solid design, bullet-proof construction and a list of indispensable features assure the B500 or B1500 will be the heart of your rig for years to come.
