Has gobs of EQ, tube emulation, stereo or mono (bi-ample). You are looking at a Carvin Redline R1000 Series III Bass Amp Head. I have a little 6 channel PA head from them that's fine, and a Nomad guitar amp, really nice little amp with great bluesey tone, but I personally would stay away from all of their current bass gear unless someone I really trusted convinced me they'd addressed the problems.This is really cool. Not a bad setup, but it has nowhere near the power claimed. I was really impressed with my R600 when I got it, it was definitely a step up, but I sold it again 2 years later, when I'd tried a "real" head or two. I don't think I'd buy one of the newer ones, though, in spite of drooling over some of the different finishes in the catalog. Not entirely sure that's true - I have 3 mid-80s Carvins now, all excellent, no truss rod problems (maybe I'm just lucky). I'd still have to deal with them though, which totally sucks. I will admit that I am tempted to get another one, with a floyd trem, because in spite of all my rants I really love that guitar and their guitars are less affected by things like weak rods. I'm not going to be one to test that out though.Įdit: I should add that I took my DC200 guitar to a respected tech for a setup, after years of playing as is, and he had noticed some twisting. I'm honestly glad you've had a different experience with them, and I sure hope that means they've changed for the better. That was the most painfull CS experience I've ever had and more than enough reason alone to never buy their gear. I don't even have enough time to tell you how many problems I had from Carvin trying to get my bass repaired/rebuilt. Why? Because they bent over backwards to get a good 750 into my hands no questions asked, overnight. I will still swear by them even though one of them had a solder problem. ![]() Now, I went through three, count 'em Three GBE750's before I got one that worked and wasn't damaged. You can't deny what has been a common and documented occurance with that design, which they are still sticking too. Does it show up when Carvin sends a well set up bawss to a magazine to review? Of course not. Does it happen right away? Of course not. Those rods are weak and fail, and this is a well documented occurence with numbers of Carvin players. Sorry you can't except this, but that doesn't make it untrue. Įvery neck on ever bass Carvin makes, Icon included, is the exact same design, and it has problems. Me - thats half what I paid after shipping! that's BSĬ - you should have read the specs more carefully, then. how much does that make my return amount? Me - so, let me get this straight, I pay the return shipping and then you clip off more. Me - I have the box, but the plastic bag got tossedĬ- than we cannot accept it without a XX% restock fee (I cant remember exactly how much) ro you have all of the original packaging? The exchange went something like this:Ĭarvin - "you can send it back, but you'll need an RMA"Ĭ- yes. I have never felt so lied to, betrayed or as poor a service as to when I tried to send it back. ![]()
