I'm thinking so. (And hoping so). I will have it looked at once quarantine is lifted. Can never be too careful with our babies. Until then I rely on you good folks here at Talkbass. :laugh::thumbsup:

Hi all, just hoping to get some advice, if any of you have seen anything like this. Pictured, is my pride and joy, my Carvin LB20 in "blueburst" not sure if that's the actual finish name but it's what I call it. Anyway, you can see the line forming where the fretboard meets the neck. so far it's...

So I called today and had them send me another V4B. Same deal and I still have the protection on it. Not sure if that covers tubes... Hopefully that last one was just defective and this one will prove better. I will eventually buy a solidstate backup, one of the svt pro series or other hybrid...
