I dont like the Carvin strings that come stock on their basses, (too stiff for me),,so I tossed a new set of D'Adarrio XL-170's on her, tweaked the neck, and took a bit out of the nut and I have to say she's coming along very nicely. After a week,, she's really settling in.

Very versatile tone, from warm to aggressive with a great slap tone. I think it will be a really nice gigging bass. Balance is great as well.

GERAT color!! Also just about as graceful a body as I've seen on a Carvin.  Nice bass.

Actually, I'm no stranger to Carvin basses:

Here's my '00 B4 in sapphire blue, the '10 BB70 and my '08 ICON 4P in Deep triplestep Dragonburst.

The new BB70 is really hard to photograph, the finish wants to wash out in this group photo
