Anyone out there playing through a Carvin B1000?

I am and I love the sound I get. I was wondering what settings you use for your gigs. I play with no eq except a little bit of bass. I am happy with the sound I get with my Birdsong Hy5 through it. I miss Carvin's store.I am ordering a Kiesel PB5 in October. Hopefully they will be as good to work with as Carvin was. I dealt with Carvin for 20 years and they always treated me like a valued custumer.

The only time I ever needed Carvin service, a slight vibration in the amp's faceplate, they fixed it and sent it back within a week. They replaced the plate which I scratched trying to fix myself. Still playing my B40 bass through my BX1200 head, which is a beast! I also purchased a complete powered PA and a 100w/115 combo from them, all worked flawlessly.
