Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 8!

[Toptube]

You can actually see it right at the beginning of the bass wall and again, when they step around to other side of the bass wall, to show off the bunnies.

There's no mention of it because the booth isn't even officially open yet, at the time this video was taken. and I'm sure they are waiting for some sort of presentation, to show off that bass. He does mention, however, that we may have seen new products indirectly in some of the shots. Indeed!

 

[Panthera]

When? I didn't see one. Are you sure you're not just seeing glare on the sunburst PB4 in the opening shot?

It's hanging to the right of the red icon6

[Wally Malone]

On Wednesday I ordered a Carvin SB5000. I think this should be a real looker:

Finish - Diamond Pearl White with matching headstock
Ebony Fingerboard Black (no streaking)
Mother of Pearl Diamond Inlays
Black Hardware & Pickups
White Pearloid Pickguard
Black Logo
Tuned E-C

And the wait begins!

So, please tell me truss rod requires special tool. None of the Allen's I have worked.

Are your Allen wrenches metric or Imperial/inches? Mine take Imperials.

My B25 (same truss rod I assume) seems to take a 5/32.

Here's a live sound sample of an SB4000 from a few years ago. I don't know the bassist but in the second video, he solos at about 4:00. Use speakers or earphones, of course.

I apologize if this question has been addressed already, but I'm very interested in a SB40001. How much different do they sound than the non-chambered 4000? I use a Tech 21 Bass Driver to get a slightly fuzzy Ampeg like sound and I'm wondering if a chambered body will be that much different from the sounds I have gotten from my Jazz basses. I know it will be easier on my back!

 

[Wally Malone]

Three weeks down and five to go until it is shipped. The waiting continues!

Anybody not like Ebony after they got it? I'm about to do a build. I have a few basses with rosewood already... wanted to try something different more punchy but as long as it can be dialed down & still be warm when wanted

THANKS SO MUCH!

 

[ole Jason]

It won't make a difference in sound

I wanted mine as punchy as possible - ebony board, rounds, j99 pups (no humbuckers). It worked, and has a LOT of zing in its tone when all the knobs are wide open. Even so, it can get a pretty warm round sound with the tone dialed down and the neck pup soloed. I'm happy with it.
