Do you still have your fretted Carvin AC-50 for sale?

I am searching for a Carvin AC-50 bass. Prefer the one with the Koa headstock because we live in Hawaii. Also will pay extra for shipping to the Big Island, or deliver in person if you like. Thanks in advance for any information on where I can get one of these.

SEAMONKEY - new to forum and not sure this will get to you, but wanted to tkank you for your advice about the 300 watt inverter from HOME DEPOT and let you know that I passed on using the QSC amp and went with the TC 550 that I already have running it at 50% along with a light weight Trace...

I have a Roland Bass Cube and it sucked. Not load enough to play in a band with a drummer and sounds like crap when you turn it up. The solution that I found came from a suggestion here on the forum to use a 300 watt power inverter from Home Depot and a 40 volt battery from a weed wacker. I...

Update on my post about the Trace Elliot and the Home Depot power inverter. It works great. Using my existing TC amp at 1/2 on the gain and 1/2 to 3/4 on the volume I was able to play for 4 hours on one charge of the 40 volt battery. I think I'll get a spare if needed and be set for a gig...

Looks nice. I had a Phil Jones amp before that I got from Phil at a NAMM show. It was a nice amp. But this one is 31 lbs and cost $1000. The Trace Elliot list at closer to $300 and the power set up is costing me around $250 and I get a weed trimer and I can use my TC amp which I already have...

Good luck with the Fishman. I think you might be disappointed with the sound. I play with a drummer and need to be louder than any of the smaller battery power options can produce. If you are planning to play alone or with a guitar player, you will probably do OK with that amp.

Sorry. That was supposed to say " TC amp" as in TC Electronics.

I checked it out. It has a 6.5" woofer. I think it would be better for use with a guitar than with a bass. I ended up getting a Trace Elliot cab with a 300 Watt 10" speaker to use with my TV amp that puts out 200 Watt average output at 1/8 and going to use a 300 Watt inverter with a 40 volt...

Aloha All, Thanks for all of the info and attention. I am trying to figure this out, and hoping I don't blow anything up. As I understand it, at the worst, it just won't work and the circuit breaker will kick in. Worth a try. I am now thinking that I could forget about the QSC, and just use...

Thanks seamonkey! I was looking around for power supplies, and because we live in Hawaii, could not get Amazon to send one here. If Kona Home Depot has them, then that is great. I will get one tomorrow. I can try it out on the TC BF 550 that we have to see if it works with that amp. Do you...

Sorry, meant to say QSC "CP" not "PC" Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Aloha All, New to the forum. I am getting a QSC PC12 powered amp to act as both a monitor when we are playing in a situation where we have full power, and my wife can use her 4-10 ETC rig. Then when she needs, use the same powered speaker along with a lithium power supply for a bass amp. I...

I was looking for a portable bass rig for my wife that could be used in a full band situation with a drummer, etc. I couldn't find anything that would go loud enough and not sound like hell. So I am getting a Lithium power pack to power a regular bass amp and I thought that I could use a QSC...

is the fender rumble battery powered?
