In fact I have two. One older (7 years old) LB70 with active electronics, and a year old B4, also with actives and a swamp ash body.
I love the sound of these intruments, although the B4 has a noise issue I need to look into. Great top end, but bottoms can be a little on edge and unclear at times. And I can get a good midrange, just not that Fender "growl" that I sometimes need. I like the "smoothness" of the Carvin, but sometimes it's just missing something.
I'm looking for a good all around bass that doesn't cost a whole lot (under a grand). I mostly play in a punk band, but do a few side projects where I lay down anything from hip hop tracks to walking lines. I imagine I'm asking for a lot, but the closest thing to it would suffice. Thanks ahead.![Smilie :) :)](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
