I've had several Carvins over the years and have been pretty happy with them. Had an LB76 (6 string) that had some bad solder joints, but I solder pretty well and fixed it right up. My only real complaint is they have very low resale value (which is good for you as a buyer) If that bass crossed...

I have to agree, the La Bella strings have the sound and the feel. They can also be ordered from Carvin for 21 bucks, Bonus :-)

Avoid this, too many big red flags.

Hey, if you can find a bass that you enjoy playing for 250, I say go for it.

Walk away

I think the Carvin MB 12 and a second cab would cover you for most situations. Through my older Carvin I play a Jazz and a Music Man as well as a Carvin 5 stringer and it preforms well. The mB's have plenty of tone control for most any type of playing and you can't beat the price.

I was also going to suggest Carvins. I have one of their older PB200 combos, 200watt head bolted into a small 1x15 cab with a horn. Their newer (current) Micro series looks very interesting. I have been using their amps, of all sizes since the mid 70's and have never had an issue with the gear...

It looks like a back breaker. Much rather have a 4x10 and a separate 1x15, A bit more flexibility. But Oxblood grillcloth, thats hard to pass up:hyper:

I have to say, This is Quality Entertainment.:)

I use a bi-amped Carvin BX1500 and route the highs (Above 200) to a 4x10 cab with a horn and the lows through a 1x18. It moves some serious air :-)

The guys a bit off on his description, Probably sold an sg/ebo copy at one time and just cut and pasted the description. Go for it, For the money it would be tough to go wrong.

I picked up an American Vintage 1975 Jazz Bass a couple of years ago and it has become my main bass, Top notch fit and finish, a neck to die for and it sounds awesome. I have a Musicman, Gibson and a Rick and they don't get as much play time as they used to. The American Fenders are Very Nice.

Carvin does make nice Basses, I've had 3 but they have a very low resale value, I ended up selling my 1500.00 6 string for 550.00 and that took several months, If you're buying it to keep forever That's a different story. (My .02 worth)

Nice Bass. Carvin makes excellent basses as well as killer amps. I've been a loyal Carvin guy since the 70s
