ajota_di is member number 201. Nice bass, and welcome!
FAMILIAR CHILL, that's some nice Carvin gear, for sure. Did you want a club membership number?

The serial number on my Carvin is 14629. On Carvin's website, production years 1980-1983 had serial numbers 10768 to 15919 (guitars and basses). Does anyone know how to pinpoint the actual year? 1982???
I think the old serial numbers are a puzzle even to Carvin. I know that Kevin, the webmaster for the Carvin site, was collecting serial number info from owners a few years back. You might want to contact him. He goes by Kevio on the Carvin forum boards.
My new Icon 6. Pics are from the eBay ad, since they are better than I can take:
I got it Friday, and took it to rehearsal last night. It plays great, looks great, and most of all it sounds great. Very punchy and growly. Cut through two screaming guitars and pounding drums with no problem at all. While it does have a lot of mids and treble, I don't hear the lack of low end some people say the soapbar pickups have. I cut the bass a little on the preamp because it was too much.
I love this bass.

This is my Carvin LB75A, bought second hand. I had to rescue her from her previous owner who managed to give her a nasty burn on the corner, and damage the truss rod. One day i'll have to sort out the truss rod problem, and give her a nice setup, because i absolutely LOVE the sound of this bass 
I also recently ordered a second hand, perfect condition LB76, but it got lost in the mail
Can i have a number please

I want in I've been playing a carvin b1500 since 06 and I have recently acquired a sb 5000(by far my fav bass ever, and I've owned just about every major brand). Love my Carvin gear and so does my wallet!
