Pros & Cons
Pros
This bass is very stable and only occasionally needs to have the truss rod adjusted (due to changes in humidity) wood is gorgeous. Tonal flexibility is decent. Will curve your he-man spine.
Warwick corvette 4 string. Schecter 5 string. B-string is tight and has great resonance and/or punch. The fith string adds added range which is always a plus.
The only drawback is a love-hate relationship with this bass. Amazon recommends this bass for me, but i've already owned one for years. This bass usually runs you about $750 on amazon and other retailers.
Highlights
Quality
I just play with the stock hardware and keep a hand on the neck at all times
Probably a bit much for my first bass but when i cant stop picking it up and playing it who can argue with the price
I am still looking for a bass that has the reliability of my schecter with the punchy clarity of my warwick
Nah id stick with the honey satin
Shipping
I got really lucky with this bass amazon warehouse had one on sale for 599 more or less because the shipping box was damaged
Competitiveness
This bass does a good deal of all that for less than half the price
Great sound with endless tweeking electronics controls a unique body for comfort with a double staff for exploring your musical minds

Howeveryby the time i configured the carvin like i wanted i couldnt afford it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The neck is relatively thin and narrow for a 5string bass with easy access to the 24th fret

The battery cover attaches with two screws as is typical but these are machine screws that screw into machine thread inserts

Sure more options like carvin offers would be nice but none of them would imporove the way the bass plays or sounds
