You bitten by the Carvin bug?

Maybe you could get your doctor to prescribe some Cipro, that ought to clear it up.

I'm sure they're much better now, but I was a Carvin customer back in 1970, when they were strictly mail-order.  I got my first 100w amp head from them.  What a nightmare that was.

I usually go through the older Carvins, Burns/Baldwin's, Wal's & BC Rich's after Gibson.

Did you notice that other maple one went for just over $500 bucks?  Lotta bass for the money - still have change left over to buy a bottle of Doans for your back! :o

One of the guitarists I jam with has a couple of recent carvins - absolutely beautiful instruments.  One of them had a minor grounding issue at the jack that was causing it to cut out.  I fixed it for him, and while I was in there I have to say I was pretty impressed with the electronics workmanship.  This is what I like to see.  By comparison, when I gutted my EB-2D for that choke mod, the original wiring harness looked like it had fabricated by a eight year old on bring-your-kid-to-work day.  And would I buy another one?  hell yeah!  ;D ???

His hand was probably shaking from writing that description.

Or he was trembling with hope that somebody might temporarily go insane and hit the BIN button.
