    Looking for a new cab. Anyone have experience with the new, non-neo Carvin BRX cabs?

    I run a brx 210 neo, it handles my markbass & GK 500 watt heads easily, never distorts, even when run hard. Great cab. Don't know about the non neo version but I'll bet it it's good.

    First gig with my '81 G&L L1000... wow!

    I have an 81 L1000 also and love it, it has rounds. I have flats on my 2 p's and love the feel also. Thinking about putting flats on the L1000, just don't like the feel of rounds anymore.

    Carvin b1500,no signal.

    I took it in to my repair guy a while back, if I remember right, he said the problem was caused by over spray of the black paint on to a connection at the factory. Was weird because it worked for a while then quit. Seemed strange to me but I trust my repair guy and he fixed the problem, runs...

    Carvin BRX series cabs! Problems??

    I had the exact opposite experience. I had 2 Schroeder 21012's that didn't cut it, I ended up selling them & bought 2 brx 210's & 1 410. Most of the time 1 210 is all I need. I am very impressed with how much these cabs will take. I have some of the older neo's & don't know how they compare to...

    For those who want to age their flats quickly...

    Don't quite get this, I have recently converted to flats on 2 of my basses & love how they sound new. if I want more of a dead, thuddy, upright sound I just adjust the tone knob on The Bass. I will let mine age naturally without rubbing them down with goop but you have me looking forward to...

    Carvin heads: worthy of a second chance?

    I played my bx500 last night at a gig ( first time in a long time) and it sounded great! Low and thumping, notes were clear and defined and bumping the drive up for certain songs was killer tone. The sustain at the end of some songs was unreal. Great head, I will be using it more often.

    Why Bass?

    Played guitar in a band that couldn't keep a bass player and there were an abundance of good guitarists so I promoted myself to bass. Playing bass has kept me busier gigging than playing guitar ever did. Although I do occasionally have a guitar gig.

    + 1 if you can get it. Or tell the one requesting that you don't know the words but if they will sing it the band will back them which may get you out of it or end very,very badly.
