dcr Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 Picture a black Jazz bass with black pickguard. Yep, that's it (well, it's the one I play most). Jeremy--you traded in the Zon for a Carvin? You've never had too many loving words to say about Carvin, if I recall... [bungled Cuban accent:] You got some splainin to do!
Banta Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 Originally posted by dcr: Jeremy--you traded in the Zon for a Carvin? Yeah, that's like trading a BMW for a Chevy.
_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 If I remember correctly, Jeremy didn't swap a Zon for a Carvin. He had already unloaded the Zon and then had a later opportunity to pick up the Carvin 6 for a good deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, Jeremy. Jeremy, is this Carvin the one you've set up as a piccolo bass and use with Bassed on Jazz? spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

Wally Malone Posted July 19, 2003 Posted July 19, 2003 Originally posted by Sweet Willie: Jeremy, is this Carvin the one you've set up as a piccolo bass and use with Bassed on Jazz?It's the Paul Reed Smith 5-string that is strung piccolo. Wally I have basses to play, places to be and good music to make!
jeremy c Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 Everyone's right. The PRS V is strung piccolo these days, and it's a gas to play. I had sold the Zon before I got the Carvin. The money from the Zon was enough to pay for four other basses. But I didn't really like the Zon (which I bought used). Not that the Carvin is a better bass, not by any means. But it's adequate. The Zon was my "graphite experiment". I will not be getting another graphite bass. The Carvin is because I need to have a six string and I got a good deal. One of these days I will get a better one. Wally, Sweet Willie, Whappo, and I were all drooling over an MTD 6 at Gelb Music. I think it was $3100. Maybe next year. I liked the Warrior 6 string I tried out at NAMM, too. I think that was even more expensive. On the other hand, I bought my Fender Jazz for $300 over thirty years ago and inflation in the price of cars and houses and gasoline has gone up tenfold in that time, why not basses?

But it's adequate...I need to have a six string and I got a good deal. One of these days I will get a better one.I've been thinking about Carvin gear. I had a set of H50s in a passive Warmoth J about eight years ago, and I loved 'em. But you seem not to be that enthused. Have you had problems with Carvin products, or is this a BMW v. Chevy kind of thing where Carvin's just fine, but simply not in the same league?
jeremy c Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 I've never had a problem with Carvin products and as far as I know, problems are rare. It's a Chevy vs. BMW issue. My Carvin is a fine instrument, I'm just hoping for something better one of these days. Free download of my cd!.
_Sweet Willie_ Posted July 20, 2003 Posted July 20, 2003 I've had a Carvin fretted 4-string for several years now. It's a fine instrument. It's given me no problems. I did replace my pickups and preamp with Bartolini goodies, and I'm happier with the sound of my bass now. However, please note that changing the electronics was definitely a matter of personal preference and a subjective decision about tone, and not the result of some kind of problem with the electronics. The Carvin pickups and electronics are very good, I just thought for my playing that I could improve on them. Peace. spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars.
