    What Constitutes a Professional Musician?

    Flashy clothing & equipment make one a professional. The more strings on ones instrument = the more professional that person is.

    The CARVIN MB (MICRO BASS) Combo Club!

    I purchased an mb10 & mb210. I have run them both a few times through my 4ohm brx 210. Reading through some of these posts, apparently you are not supposed to run these amps through a 4 ohm cab?

    NAD (used Carvin MB10)

    I have one. I usually run it through a 210 for rehearsals. Solid, versatile little amp.

    To combo or not to combo that is the question

    carvin bx500 with a carvin brx 210,Hard to beat! for a little more money I really like the simplicity and tone of markbass lmiii. Whatever head you choose, the carvin brx cabs are hard to beat! I would'nt go with a combo personally when bassheads and cabs are so much lighter these days, you have...

    2x10 Stand alone Eden210xst or Carvin BRX

    Never played the eden,own brx210,it is a fantastic 210. I use it alone for most indoor gigs with a lmiii and and it sounds great. brx rated 600 watts,it handles the 500 watt lmiii without breaking a sweat. also have a brx 410. I never was into carvin before until jorg schroeder recommended their...

    2x10 not enough?

    I play bx500 and a lmiii through brx 410 and brx 210. You will be suprised at how big the brx210 sounds,I've had other players comment on this also. If going with carvin,get the brx line. try 1 210 and if it is not enough order one later. If you run 2 of the brx210's they are 4 ohm cabs,you...

    found inside of a old amp

    I bought a 412 guitar cab once and pulled out about 20 screws to take the back off to swap out speakers and found a stack of playboy's. Borrowed a friends fender deluxe reverb once and found a pair of dirty underwear in the back... very disturbing!:eyebrow:

    Is anyone image conscious about their rig?

    It's always fun to see what other players are using , If a fellow bass player sounds great, their rig looks cool in my opinion! I like to see players pulling great tone out of configurations that are different,it is interesting to me! I love the sound and look of big ampegs but to me ampegs are...

    Amps are confusing!

    GENZ BENZ,G.K.,AVATAR CABS,SCHROEDER CABS,MARKBASS,CARVIN, SWR ,ETC... All of these companies put out quality lightweight rigs that should work for you. You can find alot of this,used, on t.b classifieds or craigslist alot cheaper. Good Luck!

    low to med cost 2x10 for smaller gigs/rehearsals

    carvin brx210 is getting it done for me. 4 ohms 600 watt power handeling. $375.00 + tax & shipping. this is a rocking little 210! amazing how much low,punchy sound comes out of this little box. Alot of people seem to like the avatars also,never tried them but I am guessing they are good,Good Luck!

    Carvin, Disappointed

    I tried carvin gear for the 1st time a year ago when I bought brx 410 and brx210 powered by b1500 and bx500. I could'nt be more pleased with these cabs! they are built extremely well and take everything I throw at them without a problem,I play rock/red dirt outlaw country and with a variety band...

    Peavey Tour TNT vs. Carvin BX500

    maybe consider 2 brx210's instead of 1 410. more versatile. bx500 thru 1 brx210 will suprise you,thru 2210's will blow you out of your shoes!
  34. mike costelow

    Rig Suggestions?

    I really like my bx500,If you decide on this head it will handle 2 ohm load. the carvin brx cabs are 4 ohms,I might suggest getting 2 of the brx 210's. this head thru one of these 210's is impressive and enough power for alot of venues, if you need more output stack 2 210's vertically(like...

    Jimmy seems to be the man who translates the wisdom from the guys who know what they are talking about and makes it understandable to the bass playing neanderthals like myself,Thanks for the advice!:bassist:
