Carvin's reputation is growing like a virus and the SB series is a huge reason!!! If I am blessed with another bass, it will almost certainly be a Carvin!

Those SB basses look pretty nice. I am very tempted to order one!

Hmmm - I usually don't care about who endorses what - - it's so often just about the money... But Tom Barney is something... If nothing else, it adds class to the Carvin name.

I Concur!!! I am more interested in why than who. It's interesting that both Sekou and Tom said that they were not interested in Carvin basses initially.

What a humble guy.

Will someone please just play finger style...

Let's see what he plays on tour or uses in the studio. Endorsements are one thing, using said gear on a daily basis is another.

Tom Barney is an awesome player, a bit less articulate in explaining it than he is at playing it. Good score for Carvin though.

Very cool. The funny thing is after owning a SB5000 and BX500 a while, I know exactly what he means when he references some of those cryptic things about them. They are right out of the box, sound great and are like a swiss army knife together.

I've just used this bass on a singer/songwriter project so when she's got the songs posted I'll post a link.
FWIW they're all fingerstyle. Nashville engineers love it, BTW.

TB member & my big brother, pyrohr, grew up with Tom and hangs with him frequently. He has played Tom's bass and loves it. I believe he posted a picture of him playing it here somewhere.

Tom doesn't endorse things he doesn't use,he doesn't have to
