The rumble on extended range guitars gets hotter day by day and now Carvin enters that 8 string battle with their new custom shop guitar model DC 800 Extended Scale 8-String Guitar. Ive read several posts on the Carvin BBS describing problems with the pots, either cutting out or being scratchy. Carvin Announces New 8 String Extended Range Model DC800. Shipping and handling of the pickguard could easily do that. NOTE: sorry if this has already been covered. Granted, this circuit is going to live inside the guitar where its unlikely to move around, but when I first looked at it, the cap leads were almost touching. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of who manufactured it? Thanks. The low-b string produces articulate tone and keeps tight bot.
CARVIN GUITARS BBS SERIAL NUMBER
I assume these minor blemishes resulted in "REJECT" at the manufacturer's final inspection, which ultimately caused it to wind up in the hands of Marlboro, rather than getting a proper serial number and manufacturer's logo. STR Guitars - Sierra SC5-MAHO - 5 String Active Bass - Custom Model With Mahogany Body In Fire Brick FinishHandcrafted In Japan.One of a kind bass.The single cut construction of SC5 produces rich bass with increased acoustic resonance. It is a solid top guitar and matures very well. The solid spruce top has a few small manufacturer-blemishes (visable in the close-up pic). That exact guitar is sold/has been sold by carvin, ibanez and a few others, ibanez at one time branded it as part of its art wood series (one of the higher end art woods). It plays easily, stays in tune, and has a rich deep (quite vibrant) sound. Neck appears to be mahogany, fretboard is rosewood. The speakers are a pair of 2x12 cabs with Eminence Delta ProAs in a largish ported cabinet (ports are aimed at 50Hz) with a pair of 1165 piezo tweeters each (no. It's fairly heavy, and is slightly taller than my Washburn D-15. Anyway, my most-used amp setup is a trio of preamps (Carvin quad-X, Mesa Triaxis and a Pod XT) into a Carvin TS-100 tube amp (50W/50W stereo E元4-based) backed up by a Carvin SS 2000W. The back and sides appear to be solid rosewood. It's very well made, with nice binding along the neck and body-top and back. The tuners look just like Martins, but they have no markings. Aside from the binding, it looks a lot like a Martin D-28, although it's a bit heavier than the few Martins I've played.
