Risk101 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 What’s the thinking about Carvin basses these days? I’ve read the old thread with the background and the Kiesel takeover. This one looks rather nice! (On a well known Italian website) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 They are extremely well made basses grab one when you get a chance, nearly all have ebony boards and were sort of plec -ed before the term was used and registered so pretty damn perfect neck although many will now be 30 years old + 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Of the four I have owned, only this one remains. It's a DC727 7-string guitar with very interesting (stock) active electronics: there's a regular 3-way pickup selector, volume (push-pull for active/passive), passive tone (only works when in passive mode) and a 2-band active EQ with bass and treble boost/cut. The miniswitches are coil splits per pickup and a phase switch. It's still very much in brand new condition. It has a one-piece maple neck-through with ebony fingerboard and tung oil finish. The range of tones from this guitar is immense, and it almost plays itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 They don't seem to hold their value, which is great if you are not buying new, as they are quality basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
