Carvin provided me with a schematic and parts list to change the center frequencies of the bass and treble tone controls. Most cool. The bass has excellent balance and perfect neck. Also has piezo pickup for a huge range of sounds. I received this bass as payment for engineering work.
Thank you Craig Chaquico.

Incredible instrument. Similar to the Carvin BB.
Very high tech
Thank you Evil D.
