Brian Bromberg Carvin Model Part 2

- Start date
Also the walnut 5 string had nickel frets, great for finger style, warm, round, and fat. But, if you slap a lot you might prefer the stainless steel frets. Who knows? That is all personal preference.........B2
Hey Guys I live here in San Antonio TX. I am close to pulling the trigger on a knew Carvin. Either a SB or a B24 or 25. I was hoping to find one locally to try before I order one. If there is any body in TX that might let me try theirs please let me know. Thanks in advance for any consideration.
This is my Custom B24B
Koa Top Back
Black Veneer
Piezzo
Abalone Blocks
Gold Logo
Ebony Fingerboard
Light Weight Bass
Matched Headtsock with Black Veneer
I hope you like it, comments wellcome !
What a stunning instrument. You have good taste, my friend!
I had never seen or heard of black veneer being an option, but this looks so seriously good. It will definitely be requested on the next Carvin bass I order!
That my friends is a Bromberg custom elite! He sent me more pics. I can post them tonight, I'm sure he wouldn't mind................u should see his other basses, they r all this nice
boamedt, yes please!
How does one get their Bromberg to be "Elite"? Because I'm gonna jump on that train when I finally order mine!

I believe the 'Elite' is a package you can get for most of the neck throughs. It's one of those options they don't really advertise, and Option 50 type thing
The elite package was advertised at one point, I beleive the carvin museum site has the page ad in their collection. I'm not usually one to ask about prices but he said it ran him 2500, which really, is a great deal from carvin.
I have a question about what strings y'all are running and has anyone tried TI Flats. Also has anyone tried the Carvin Flats. Do they compare to the TI's. And that bass with the Elite packages is absolutely perfect. Congrats
I tried TI flats on a non-Bromberg and hated them due to their extreme low tension. Others will play nothing else, so go figger...
Carvin flats are very similar to GHS Precision Flats. More thud than snap (depending on what you're going for. Far higher tension than TI's.
On my B25P, I've had success with D'Addario Chromes and Sadowsky Flats. But the n Circle K Balanced .136's live on it pretty much full time.
Well, I drooled over pics of Bromberg basses in this forum the whole weekend and the obsession just could not be contained: just now pulled the trigger on a custom built Bromberg B25.
I just turned 41. I'm a father of two little guys, a husband, and a fan of all things bass (including Bass on the Broadband). This is my first custom purchase. Have played my ol' Fender P-Bass and a Schecter 5-string for years, but . . . you only live once, baby!!!
I like the look of natural woods so that's the way I went on the options. Will post pics when I receive. Yee-haw!!!!!

Stop it! That is just way too nice.
Has anyone tried TI Flats on a B2 yet. I will be ordering mine on the 1st of Nov and I play TI Flats on all my basses. I am going to order it the Carvin Flats but I have never tried them so I am not sure if I will keep them on there are go with what I normally play.
Alright folks. Big question here.
Jet Black B25S, unlined fretless, black hardware: Do I go Gloss or Satin Matte?
Or do I just do a solid, tung-oiled Walnut. Decisions, decisions!

I think matte finishes, especially from Carvin, are underappreciated/not ordered enough.
