I had a Carvin bass from that era. Looks to be an early 2000's due to the bridge used. You have a 3 band eq. should be a push pull on the volume knob - up passive, down active. Note on the pickups. Carvin used the same size pickups front and back. The covers are the same size as a fender bridge...

Played passive basses from the 80's to early 2000's. Then switched to active and thought I would never look back. May switch back to passive. Got diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome in early 2011. It's been a humbling experience. I am thankful I can still play at all. My musical view...

I played one this week and was blown away. How could any over done bass be this good. To me its the perfect P /J voicing. Well done EBMM.

Mine was A Vantage Avenger. Here is a pic I got off the internet of it.

2006 Stingray 5. It was under 10lbs. and balanced. 2014 Stingray. Under 9lbs. blueburst finish

Bought one today with 15% coupon at GC. Not a bad amp for the money. With no ext. speaker out, it is only going to be a small combo amp. I plan to use mine for mostly at home. I will have to take to practice to see what it can do opened up. The Tone Print app is kind of fun to play around with...

For fifty bucks I think its worth a gamble. I still own a Fernandes that I have had since the 90's. If I found one for fifty it would be mine.

I had to sell my 30th Anniversary Stingray because of weight. It was 10.5 lbs. The problem I have is a nerve in my middle back. I have what they call phantom pain. It causes a muscle spasm and feels like someone is grinding their knuckle into your back. My shoulder was able to support the bass...
