Members RevMachineBass Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 I used to have a Charvel Model 4B neck-through made in the mid to late 80's. Great bass, wish I'd never sold it. Charvel basses were production line versions of the Jackson basses made in Japan. Some people think the Charvel basses were better than their Jackson counterparts, because of the quality control and automated technology used in production line assembly. I think they are definitely better that the re-issue Jackson line today. I'd say buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 Welcome to the forum Charvels are kind of like P-basses and Peavey T-40s: we all played one at one time or another. Looks like a nice bass. I hope you enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J. Posted February 12, 2006 Members Share Posted February 12, 2006 Great basses, even today. I see one every once and awhile in used shops around here. The overall design definitely gives them a dated look, but they are solid instruments and excellent values on the used market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
