SB4000 & SB5000

Carvins SB Series basses feature entirely new bolt on necks. The SB4000 is based on a traditional 20 fret jazz style neck. The rounded neck heel allows comfortable playability to the last fret and its retro-style body features front and rear contours for hours of comfortable playing. The 22 fret SB5000 5-string has become extremely popular among pro players world-wide. Both models boast a pair of J99A single coil pickups which feature Alnico V magnets. These pickups deliver a rich bell-tone with full bottom-end, clear upper range and the right amount of mid-range growl. Try an SB series bass and discover why they have received so many awards.

Sekou Bunch

My new SB4000 is the baddest bass Ive ever played. The neck is amazing and has the fattest sound you will never get lost in the band. This IS the New ELECTRIC BASS! Sekou Bunch

I was able to effortlessly call up the classic Marcus Miller slap tone thick and punchy, with a briliant sparkle...the SB5000s B string was tight and thunderous...Note Definition was excellent... The Carvin SB5000 has killer J Bass Tone and a fresh look. The build quality and finish work stand up to boutique instruments four times the price...it has no comparable U.S.built competition.

CUSTOMER COMMENT
I just received my pre-assembled pickguard for my American Series Strat... Im 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. Its the most balanced sound Ive 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
