Why is this Carvin amp so inexpensive?

[rodneyat]

+1 on the Carvin stuff. I have owned a few of the amps and basses over the years. Bang for the buck, some of the best stuff out there. Peavey and Carvin seem to run neck and neck on a lot of fronts. IMHO, they run pretty equal on the amp/pro audio front. Their products are both decent sounding, well made and don't cost a lot of money. I think where Carvin was ahead for many years was the "custom" instrument side. Thus, Peavey came out with the Cirrus line to compete where they were getting their tushy kicked by Carvin. Even today, I will still order accessories from Carvin. I do not see how they can sell the stuff so cheap. On top of that, I have never had an issue with their customer service. Top notch company

yes. they sound terrible.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I disagree. As do many, many other TBers who dig the b1500, bx1200.

I know I have a vested interest in this, so all I can say is that it is best to let your ears decide for yourself.

yes. they sound terrible.

Tomvelsor have you played through a BX1200?

Tomvelsor have you played through a BX1200?

Or a B1500? While I agree, the old red line series were rather dookie-like, the B1500 is the shiznit.

I use a Carvin Red-Eye bass amp,,Carvin Bass, & Carvin PA.
No issues with any of them and top-notch service. You've just got to be willing to buy from their catalog or website. Standard return policy, if you don't like it, send it back.

For anyone who has used the SBR1015 1200W BI-AMPED BASS FULL STACK with a 5-string, does it have any problems hitting the Low B's at all?

I don't know about the SBR1015, but I've owned the SBR1018 for going on a year and a half and I've never had any problem nailing the low B. Infact I've not experienced one single problem with my SBR1018 at all. Very satisfied customer.

Why must this go on? Hinderfutz clearly answered the question.
