Read a bunch of reviews and watched demos on it , so decided to buy one directly from carvin, Upon arrival i connected to an 800watt 410 cab 4ohms with everything flat grabbed my Warwick Rock bass the first sound out of it was smooth natural bass great highs and alot of bottum with this cab.With a little tweeking of the drive and the para eq this thing sounded like a bass monster.Finally turned on graphic eq it was a little noisy turned back off and hiss stopped??Added sum 250hz and was blown away at the response of this head with my cab seemed to have clean power and lots of headroom.For any bass player thinking of adding or replacing an amp this one is well worth the price!! My Trace Elliot will probably get a well deserved break for a while and I'm gonna checkout the BX1500 and the other Carvin bass rigs the Guys at Carvin have got a great line of bass amps. As a bass player I say thanks!

A year ago I bought a Super J and as far as I'm concerned, it is the finest bass I have ever played. I have played Fender J basses since 1962.

I first saw their product when watching Phil Collins' bassist Leonard Sklar play his. But when I went to Sam Ash and tried one out Whoooah!! I wish I could afford one, just to mount it on my wall with all my African percussion instruments I bought after following Sun Ra and his Arkestra all over. My uncle was Steve Lacy, the renowned soprano saxophonist that played with Thelonious Monk. I can be reached at micaofboca@yahoo.com. And my congratulations to the wonderful artists that make these beautiful musical instruments. They deserve an equal amount of credit as we supercilious musicians and painters. God Bless us, everyone. Whoever designs and builds these instruments is such a great artist. I first saw their product when watching Phil Collins’ bassist Leonard Sklar play his.
