Re: Flamed/Quilted Maple Club!
Saw my VB4 on FB last night. Hopefully, it gets shipped out today and I get my VB4 and my CT324X tomorrow! I wasn't 100% sure about the Deep Purple, but I wanted to step away from the usual black and white, but not go too crazy.
Since their pics are a bit better than mine, lol, I'll post theirs. I'll get a pic of my VB5F in FDBC when I take a good one...

That bass will complement your Vader arsenal. Looking forward to your review of the sounds from this bass.
Enjoy!

Thank you, sir. It's been so long since I owned/played a 4-string, lol! Hopefully, I'll get a little quality time with it before this weekends gigs...

Needed to repost, due to the photobucket fiasco.

I never tire of looking at natural flame so simply but beautifully presented on a killer guitar like that, Elf.

I have since let this one go for an Osiris, but it sure was beautiful!

Re: Flamed/Quilted Maple Club!
I literally bought this on the way to work tonight. A local mom and pop guitar store got 3 Carvins on consignment. One is a purple DC400, nice but not really my thing as I have a DC200 I adore. Last week I was in the shop and saw this one. I was in love. It had issues though, the Floyd was missing parts and needed some love. The owner of the shop told me that he'd rush the repair job if I was truly interested. I said I was.
I work 3rd shift so getting to stores is difficult. Anyways... I stopped on the way to work today, expecting to not be impressed. I was so wrong. They replaced every worn piece of Floyd hardware with correct, new parts and did a spectacular setup on it. I whipped out the Debit card and now can't wait to get home and play it.
Its got all the bells and whistles: gold hardware, Floyd with clamp and locking Sperzels, phase switches, matching flamed headstock, Stainless Steel frets, abalone blocks, all for $575.00 out the door. I need to give it a deep clean and polish but that top! I have a thing for green quilt tops. mmmm.

My 2008 DC145. I absolutely love this guitar. It was my first Carvin, and I'm very proud of it. They did a beautiful job on it. There's no DTS in the finish, either.
