NEW 2007 P-SERIES PREAMPThe P-Series features an 18 volt module (dual 9 volt batteries) for unlimited headroom and super clean response to satisfy the most aggressive slappers. Carvin engineering has optimized the tone of each string with its own customized amplifier and adjustable volume trim pot. This enables you to adjust the volume of each string to accommodate your favorite strings or playing style.

The tops of our ebony finger-boards are precision surfaced with a diamond surface grinder. This exclusive process insures a uniform thickness tolerance of less than .001” from one end of the fingerboard to the other. Whether you choose a fretless or fretted model, we guarantee that all Carvin basses will have string action exceeding anything you’ve ever played.

Whether you play 4, 5 or 6 string bass, never before have you been able to get such dynamic tone and versatility. And with the two pan controls, you can achieve any combination of pickup blending. The tonal possibilities are endless!

NEW!2007 P-SERIES

Active treble cut and boost.

Blend between Piezo & magnetic pickups

Carvin’s 2007 model basses are significantly enhanced with the addition of our stacked bass/treble and mid range level/sweep controls. The

tonal improvement and versatility with the new electronic ciruitry is quite dramatic. In a recent review, Bass Guitar Magazine said “(the sweepable mid range control) in itself is almost worth the cost of the bass”. Our modern 82,000 square foot plant in San Diego is equipped with the finest instrument building machin-ery in the industry. The use of high quality woods and our constant improvement in manufacturing methods are an ongoing quest at Carvin. If Carvin basses were available in retail stores, you would pay up to three times more than our factory direct prices. By selling direct, Carvin not only gives incredible value but also provides you with a direct connection to the builder. With the best build up times in the industry along with our risk free 10-day money back guaran-tee, there has never been a better time to order your Carvin Custom Shop bass.

Individual Piezo pickups in each saddle lets you articulate the dynamics of each string (each string has its own rear volume trim pot).

HIPSHOT A-STyLE BRIDGEAll Carvin standard neck though body basses now come with the heavy Hipshot™ A-style bridge for incredible deep bass punch and defintiion. This new bridge gives individual side to side string spacing which allows you to custom tailor the playability of your bass. The dual design allows you the freedom to either top load your strings or feed them though the body for improved sustain.

CLARO WALNUT SERIESThe Claro Walnut series basses come standard with our five piece maple/walnut neck-through construction. A three piece layered body utilizing the finest selections of walnut for the back, alder wood for the center layer, and our most highly figured California Claro Walnut for the top really gives these basses a stunning appearance. To further compliment the overall design, the body edges are fully radiused. The Claro Walnut series represents Carvin’s commitment to the design and craftsmanship of high-end basses. For general specifi-cations refer to the LB70, LB75 & LB76.

ANNIVERSARY SERIESCarvin’s top of the line anniversary series was launched a year before the Claro walnut series. The difference between these two elite mod-els is the anniversary comes standard with our finest AAAA flamed curly maple top. A center layer of walnut is laminated between the premium alder back. The look as well as the performance of this bass is simply stunning.

Since 1946 Carvin has been making pickups using plain enamel magnet wire and Alnico 5 magnets. This is the

heart of the vintage tone that many players strive to attain. Carvin’s current line of C22 and H22 humbucking pickups use the same great sounding materials that we used in the 1950’s. Carvin Custom Shop pickups are made by utilizing modern state-of-the-art winding and assembly methods. Try a set of Carvin pickups on your instrument for 10 days and you’ll agree that these are the finest sounding pickups made, or your money back.

The C22 Classic Series comes standard on most Carvin guitars. Seasoned Alnico 5 magnets give the warmth and sweetness of an exceptional sounding 50’s guitar. With the close spacing of the pole pieces, you won’t get dropoff when bending strings. Adjustable pole pieces allow you to increase or decrease the volume of individual strings. The C22s provide warmth while still retain-ing great treble definition and just the right amount of bite. 4-wires plus shield.

CUSTOMER COMMENT I just received my pre-assembled pickguard for my American Series Strat this weekend and I installed it within one hour after that. I’m majorly impressed with the quality of the wiring and the electronic components as a whole, and the sound is second to none. I never dreamed I could get my Strat to sound like it does now. It’s the most balanced sound I’ve ever had out of a guitar, and I have owned just about every major brand. My next purchase will be a Carvin guitar.– Timothy Parker
