    NBD: Carvin PB5

    Congrats. I love my passive PB. It is the bass I have been waiting years for. I have sold 3 basses since I got it and now have the PB and an SB. If I were to get rid of another bass, it would be the SB. Carvin really hit it out of the park on this one. I hope you continue to enjoy yours...

    Ordering a Carvin: Use Builder or Call

    +1 I mess around with the builder but I think that every Carvin I have ordered had some form of option 50, so I have called them in. Eddie has made every request except one happen. Come to think of it. I can't even remember what that request was.

    I'll try to get it out tonight and compare it to the others. I having only been playing my PB and SB since I got them and only played my AC40 for the year before that (plus a little time on the ASAT bass I recently sold). Of course, if I start playing it again I may not want to sell it. Who...
