Basses
2000 was a quiet year in the Basses
Department, as it was in all Carvin guitar and amp departments.
There were some price fluctuations, and swamp ash was added as an
optional wood, but other than that there was nothing new.
At this time, Carvin offered rounded
body sides, strings-thru-body, matching headstock and HC17 case free
with any order.

The B4 and B5 bolt-neck
basses remained unchanged for 2000. The price of the B4
increased slightly to $479, and the B5 remained at $619. The HC17 ABS case
for either model was $90, and the HC18 vintage tweed hardshell case
for either model was $120. However, the HC17 case was offered
for free with any order.
The photo of these, and most of the
other basses, were the same as the 1999 catalog, but put on new
backgrounds. All these photos are from the Winter 2000 edition.
The LB20 and LB70
were also unchanged for 2000, as were all Carvin basses, actually.
Prices for these two models remained
the same as '98 and '99, at $579 and $649. As on all basses for
2000, the
strings-thru option, rounded body sides, matching headstock and HC17 ABS case were offered
for free on any Custom Shop order.

The LB75 was
unchanged. The same "free options" special was offered
on this model, and it had the same base price of $719 as it had in '98
and '99.
The LB76 remained unchanged
also.
The price remained the same at $819,
and the freebies Carvin offered were also available on this model.

The LB76W (Claro Walnut) and
LB76A (Anniversary edition) were unchanged, as were their 4- and
5-string counterparts. The W
series was priced the same as the A series, at $1129, $1199, and $1299
for the 4, 5 and 6 string versions. The HC17 case and
strings-through body options were offered free on these models.

The BB70 and BB75 were
unchanged, and prices on these models remained
the same as '98 and '99, at $749 and $819. The matching
headstock option, strings-through body and HC17 case was offered free
on these models.
The AC40 and AC50
had no changes for 2000. The prices and case options on these
models were unchanged from the '98 and '99, and like the LB and BB
basses, the strings-thru, matching headstock, and HC18W case (not the
HC17 as on the others) were offered for free with any Custom Shop
purchase.
