Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000 Goto page 1, 2  Next          Carvin.com BBS Forum Index » Carvin Basses View previous topic :: View next topic   Jump to Bottom of Page   Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:02 pm   Message   rclere Gold Member Joined: 05 Nov 2009 Posts: 78 Location: seattle, WA I had the pleasure of seeing, listening and talking to Darryl Williams at Jazz Alley here in Seattle last night... He was a very generous, friendly and engaging musician who creates a deep pocket and groove with his playing... I was FLOORED by the sound of the SB-5000. Articulate, thick, rich, smooth, ballsy, are all descriptions that come to mind when recalling the sound of that beast!!! And not mention how stunning the bass looked as well.... Here is a world class player, who has played and owned just about every high end instrument out there, and he said Carvin trumped them all... I certainly was glad that i ordered my SB-5000 last week!! Now the wait begins. re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:28 pm   Message   phillm47 Newbie Joined: 15 May 2009 Posts: 9 Location: Fort Wayne, IN - USA Could you describe his SB-5000? re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 4:18 pm   Message   rclere Gold Member Joined: 05 Nov 2009 Posts: 78 Location: seattle, WA darryl's SB-5000 had an ash body w/quilted maple top, tinted TEAL burst. the neck was maple w/ maple board. Chrome hardware. Cream color J99a's.

Right now he is touring with saxophonist Euge Groove. He is a very busy sideman... He has a great pocket and groove... The Carvin he is playing just sounds so amazing... After my fretless arrives, I am going to get a fretted SB-5000 for sure... re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 3:04 pm   Message   BassPlayer4Life35 Gold Member Joined: 19 Jan 2007 Posts: 155 The finish is actually dragon burst. He has a tagged pic of the bass in the pic section of his myspace profile.

I like your STR single cut by the way! re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 11:09 am   Message   Wilbyman Newbie Joined: 13 Oct 2009 Posts: 27 Location: West Virginia Thank you on the STR! My SB5000 will be platinum gold metallic, matching headstock, white logo, MOP blocks, pearloid guard (ebony board). It was originally spec'd evergreen but apparently they are not doing evergreen at the moment. re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2009 4:24 am   Message   Limeman Gold Member Joined: 07 Aug 2009 Posts: 51 Make sure you post a pic or two of that gold beauty when she arrives! re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 8:51 pm   Message   advdir Director of Advertising & Artist Relations Joined: 17 Jan 2007 Posts: 186 Location: SAN DIEGO Darryl's SB5000 You'll see him in the JAN 2010 catalog with that bass. re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 9:52 pm   Message   Limeman Gold Member Joined: 07 Aug 2009 Posts: 51 Wow... Beautiful bass!! I just wish that Carvin would make removing not only the pick guard, but also the control plate an option. IMHO Darryl's bass would look much better with just the knobs - no plate. re: Darryl Williams and his new SB-5000  Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 1:41 pm   Message   Wilbyman Newbie Joined: 13 Oct 2009 Posts: 27 Location: West Virginia Hey, could anyone host a pic of my gold SB5000? It is here and it looks stunning. (and plays and sounds great too!) Send me a PM with an email address if you can. I'm not sure if Carvin took any pics but it sure looks cool!        Carvin.com BBS Forum Index » Carvin Basses Page 1 of 2 Top of Page All times are GMT - 4 Hours View previous topic :: View next topic Goto page 1, 2  Next Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Jump to: Select a forum Off-Topic----------------AnnouncementsFAQCarvin Photo GalleryWebsite Suggestions Carvin Products----------------Carvin GuitarsCarvin MIDI Synth GuitarsCarvin BassesCarvin Guitar AmplifiersCarvin Bass AmplifiersCarvin Pro AudioTech TalkBuilder's ForumProduct Suggestions Other Carvin Discussion----------------Share Your Carvin-Made MusicPro PlayersCarvinite Gatherings Non-Carvin Gear----------------Non-Carvin Gear  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum The views and opinions expressed on the Carvin Forums are solely the responsibility of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of Carvin Corporation.
