Flamed/Quilted Maple Club!

[pbass6811]

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...

(Kool-Aid Man voice): OH YEAH!

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...

Here's my VB5F in FDBC...

Supposed to be Flame deep lava but looks more like tight quilt.

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!

[Omsong]

HH2 or Osiris, which do you like better, and why?

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.

Love that color!
