    Tyler Ampworks?

    Hey fellow TB'ers. I'm beginning the process of cycling out my gear. I have some electric guitar playing friends in the Christian rock/pop touring scene and they told me that a ton of guys are making the switch to Tyler Amps. I've heard good things. But I hadn't heard much about his bass heads...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    Changing the tone pot would probably fix it, but I feel like that's something that Carvin should have caught before they shipped it. I talked to Albert in customer service and along with sending me the missing intonation adjustment screws, we're going to troubleshoot later on today about the...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    I'd understand if it wasn't as aggressive of a rolloff as I'm used to, but it really doesn't do anything till its practically rolled off.

    Missing the intonation screw. The one that moves the saddle forward and back. Ever hear of that before?

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    Finally got my 5k this weekend! Beautiful craftsmanship and build. Specs were spot on. So far, I've had only 2 chances to plug it in and give it a go. Seems like it plays very well, but I have some questions about the electronics. Here are the issues I've come up with so far: -Out of the box it...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    I second this. As a bass player, a band mate and a sound guy, I've learned that its always better to be a little bright than being too thick. I've had to learn the hard way that just because something sounds good when I'm practicing by myself doesn't mean it's gonna sit well in the house. At...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    Good eye, plong! After looking at the searchable gallery on carvins site and looking at every sunburst and honeyburst, I went with the latter. Just something about that color. I'm interested to see how it looks like on swamp ash. Plus I asked for an extra coat on the edges because I really dig...

    Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

    Agreed! Just ordered it! And I ordered what I wanted...flamed maple fingerboard and headstock. No problem with the plain finish. Also ordered the one piece swamp ash body. Bummed about the 8 week build time, but I'm so looking forward to playing her!
