Hey Guys,
Is Brian Bromberg playing his Carvin signature model in this video? http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F
I know he's had signature models with other brands too, though I am not sure which.
I appreciate your expert help, as usual.
Thanks! |

Else, it looks a lot like his Carvin but I don't think that's what it is.....

| | | | It's a Carvin |

| | | | Yeah, that's what I thought too. He's been involved with instrument design with other companies, applying the same or similar Carvin specifications, I imagine, to those instruments. That might be why it looks like the Carvin. I'm curious what manufacturer that is. Does anyone know what brand that is? |

| | | | It's a Carvin. Even has the Carvin marker on the 12th fret.

| | | | Yeah, I thought the Carvin debuted in 2011. |

| | | | On a side note, Bromberg has to be one of the most down-to-Earth, approachable, humble and easy-going talents in the world of bass. He's also quite articulate, and a very effective instructor. |

| | | | I don't think that is a Carvin. It doesn't have the Dean logo, either, so it may be a one-off custom or a prototype. Either way, there are youtube videos of him with that ass in 2008 - way before the Carvin thing happened.
Edit: 99.9% sure this bass was made by US Masters Guitar Works.

| | | | He's done a lot of signature models with the same design. This one seems to have a slightly smaller body than the Carvin, which is what piqued my interest. |

| | | | He might have a time machine. I know Jeff Berlin does. |
01-20-2013, 12:39 PM
| | | | Everybody knows time machines are powered by arrogance. So, unless Brian hitches a ride with Jeff, he isn't going anywhere. |
01-20-2013, 12:41 PM
| | | | Haha. Anyone ever play one of the BB signatures? They look well made, and he's apparently put a crap load of thought into the design, not just his name. |

Thanks! | It's a sig bass of his, but not a Carvin. Carvins have a little different headstock, and no toggle switch. Quote:
