Members nightflameauto Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Gat damn sexy wood machine. Congrats. And what'd I tell ya about the tung oil? I've heard very good things about the actual actives Carvin's been making. Both the seven and eight string models. Their old passives with the active EQ module was really noisy and , but apparently these are true actives and really pop. Be looking forward to hearing what you think in a few weeks or even months. Carvins, for all their instant flash upon first inspection, tend to grow on their owners. Started speccing out the next one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leahs made it perfectly clear that I can buy whatever the {censored} I want, guitar wise. I dont make stupid decisions. I only buy {censored} if the money is "extra"...ie, bills paid, food on the table, and something in the bank. She trusts my judgement enough. Also, she knows what guitars I want, and has straight up said if shes ever got that much extra, Im getting a new guitar or 2 lol. Ive already done the whole hiding gear thing. Never again. I work hard. Its my {censored}ing money lol. I bought my ninja and it sat in a case under my bed for 6 months until I finally got sick of it and told my ex that my mom bought it for me. How {censored}ed up is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how my set up is at home..we've talked at length about it...even though I can buy what I want $$ is expensive so spending it right is important.
