I've been thinkin about getting one of these, but was just wondering how the low b string sounds/responds?

[LifesonFan4Life]

@Metaphysicalvoyager ... Carvin's have 'thunderous' B strings ... not my words .. Ed Friedland's words .. but I can attest to this fact as well !

Beginning of this song is epic - awesome job. God I smoked a lot of dope to this song in 76.

@pbmax ... I think we all did .. lol ... thanks for the compliment :)

Awesome job! Fretless sounds spot on, which was exactly what that Moog synth was trying to replicate at the time of this recording. I love it! P.S- (Oceans)That guy, or KID I am assuming is on crack!

@redriderrulz ... Hey thanks for the great compliment :)

@LifesonFan4Life that bass you are playing sure does not look like a fretless which means I might be able to play one. I want that sound! I play an Ibanez Soundgear 5 SR505 cool but the that B string on yours sure stands out. And play and sound GREAT!

[RonnyOnBass]

Do you really like your BBE BMax? I've been thinking about trying one... but no one around me carries them. So I would have to order blind. I play rock to r&b to motown.

@JaybaTheHutt Thanks Jayba :)

@LifesonFan4Life Dude, you did a fine job. (from a bass player of 40 years). That other guy's on crack.
