While this may have some merit with selective pieces, I don't think it's true of their entire product line. The Carvin instruments I've played (a couple of guitars) were very nice. Felt good, nice playable neck, excellent setup, flexable pickup configuration. My friend bought a Carvin bass as a gift for his brother and he said it was an outstanding instrument, especially for the price. > i work w/ a band who has in their rider"no carvin or peavey equipment > use in house" and there is a reason for that specifically. I've heard some of the older Carvin PA gear was low quality. My friend replaced a Carvin PA with some other stuff and reported a massive improvement in sound quality. I ran sound for a band many years ago who had two power amps, one a Carvin. The Carvin consistantly sounded worse then the other, and despite it's higher rated output, didn't get as loud. Could have been something wrong with it... I can't speak for the current batch, but I've heard pretty positive reports from people on the web. I've heard four Carvin bass amps that I remember and thought they all sounded pretty good. A couple of friends with them reported problems, which were repaired under warranty. I've only played one of their guitar amps, a much older one from the early 80s. It sounded great and was very flexable, a lot like a MesaBoogie MkII. A guy I work with bought a more recent guitar amp and it had noise problems so he returned it. Greg __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
