Mid eighties Accept were ridiculously tight.

+1000 Joey Vera is one of My alltime bassheroes. If anyone wants to hear groovy, melodic bassplaying in 80's metal, check out Vera's playing with Armored Saint. Awesome P/J tone.

A slapper is not a wife beater, it is slang meaning a promiscious woman.

Considering Peavey recently had to layoff off 99 employees in Meridian, I do'nt think they Will bring back Production to the US. http://www.meridianstar.com/news/peavey-plant-layoffs-a-matter-of-survival/article_81172100-4c3c-11e4-839a-430ccaec34e6.html

I own a MB CMP121P. I Think I can relate to just about every opinion in this thread. This little combo is absolutely fantastic, at what it does. I play in a five-piece hard rock band, with a very loud drummer. When recording in the studio, the MB worked perfectly, it sounds great miked. However...

OK, I know the Tour heads are´nt Class D amps, but what exactly am I paying the extra $ for? Mass? Apparently they do´nt even have the "real" Kosmos Circuit (according to the Peavey rep Bobby on TB). Just curious, since I´m just about to order a Tour 700.

Will the Tour 450/700 be discontinued? I really do´nt understand the pricing. Is the MiniMega is a "better" amp than the Tour 450/700? I´m looking at buying the Tour 700 and it´s around 600 Euros. Can someone please explain?

Sandbergs are made in Germany, I seriously doubt US workers make more money than their German counterparts.

Can you tell me the name of this store? I live in Sweden, which is quite near Estonia. Did you order your custom bass through this dealer?

Thanks for all the great feedback. I might check out the Carvin BBS forum, and see if I find any European Carvin consumers there.

Ok, my bad, here´s where my lack of English skills show. What I meant was info on how the quality of Carvin basses relate to the prices in Europe, since I ca´nt buy factory direct, there is obviously an increase in price. I have read everything I could find on TB regarding Carvin basses.

Thanks a lot, just the info I was looking for!

Hello all, I did a search on my query regarding Carvin basses, but could´nt find any info, so here I go: Living in a country across the pond (Europe), Carvin basses have always remained a mystery to me, there used to be a distributor in my country ages ago, but not any more. Anyhow, like...

I bought the TRB1005j last year, and I´ve played several TRB1005 basses. In my mind it is actually an upgrade from the TRB1005, the Q-mix preamp has been refined, and it now sports a 5-piece neck, as opposed to a 3-piece neck, which is what the TRB1005 had. The build quality is awesome, Yamaha...
