Hey all, Can't seem to find anything online with the tab or transcription of Wayne Shorter's song 'Endangered Species'. Anyone have any ideas on where i can find it? Thanks, Charlie

Curious to know if there is an FX pedal out there (maybe a synth?) that can take a 4 string bass and drop it down enough to recreate the tuning of an extended scale/detuned bass (i think Periphery drops as low as F#). Most of the octave pedals out there drop the note down but also double the...

Hey all, I just picked up a 2016 Rickenbacker 4003 Mapleglo bass. Been wanting one of these guys for a while now, but i wanted to change out the pick guard and neck plate, but can't seem to find a place that has the 1-piece pick guards on the new models (all the old ones had 2 piece pick...

Hey all, Sorry for the delay on this, but here is a really quick video attempting to give a little taste of the instrument. Sound quality is not that great as it is on my iphone and doesn't nearly capture the versatility of this instrument, but hopefully some of you find it helpful! -Charlie

It's also VERY light compared to my other basses (I have a Fender P and a Gibson TBird that easily outweigh it by a few pounds). Feels pretty balanced as well. No neck dive. Set up from the factory was solid! Maybe a tiny bit of noise on the low B on the first 3 frets but in sure my guitar tech...

Correction: it's actually a 14" radius not a 12" radius. Another cool feature Carvin has on this bass is radiused alnico humbuckers that match the radius of the neck for even frequency response. As for controls, it's an active/passive circuit. Master volume push/pull (active/passive) Pickup...

Yes indeed. Hence the dual batteries on the back.

More images above including the back and the neck (sorry for the last one being so fuzzy...was trying to get a shot of the neck profile so you can see how flat this thing is).

Indeed it is the 'Charlie Reid' signature model. Figured since they had the option, i'd put my name on the headstock ;) Now i gotta brush up on my Gary Willis licks. Thanks for all the positive affirmations y'all.

Thanks guys! anyone try and put a ramp on one of these guys? I might consider doing a ramp in the future.

gumbynotpokey, i believe it's a 12" radius. The playability is amazing! Again, one of the best fretboard (if not the best i've ever played). It's a really solid piece of ebony. If i had one gripe i would say that the low B may need a little action adjustment, but it's really subtle. Might take...

Hey All, I ordered one of the new Carvin 5-string Vanquish Fretless basses and got it in the mail yesterday late afternoon. Figured i'd post some pics for everyone. The specs are as follows: - V59K VANQUISH 5 STRING BASS 24 ASH1 ONE PIECE SWAMP ASH BODY CS CLEAR SATIN MATTE FINISH...

Does anyone know where to get a hold of transcriptions for Alain Caron's album "conversations"? Namely the tune "no pick"? I have been looking on the internet and can't find any free or for purchase. Thanks, Charlie

I know this is an old thread but it Stevie's site down permanently? The link won't work for me. Does anyone have links to transcriptions of Anthony Jackson's work on these albums? Namely the tune "move me no mountain"?
