alright...thanks.

I'm just looking for a simple Carvin serial number lookup for basses. I have a 5-string that was gifted to me several years ago that starts with 109*** on the jack plate.

Hi, I'm not currently gigging, but I have a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100 head and a 4/12 cabinet that I bought for using with my LP several years ago. I'm wondering if I could (in a pinch, at least) use this amp for bass also. I haven't tried it yet but just thought I'd throw the question out...
