Our "Tonwerk" is a 4-band high-end bass preamp in pedal form. Depending on the band, three different frequencies can be selected. The preamp can also be used as a practice amp. battery or mains operation are possible. In addition to the four-band equalizer, each of the three selectable frequencies offers a D.I. Out (pre / post EQ switchable), True Bypass and a high quality headphone output. Marleaux Tonwerk is designed and made in Germany!

In 2009, Carvin teamed up with Sekou Bunch to create the SB4000, a bass the company says was designed with “vintage vibe.” The U.S.-made bass is a 4-string, though a 5-string SB5000 is available with many of the same specs.

Standard features on the SB4000 include an alder body, eastern hard rock maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, though they only begin as a jumping off point for hundreds of options ranging from finishes to woods to inlays. Another interesting option is to have the bass built with a chambered body, which reduces the weight by up to one pound.

The bass comes stock with passive electronics and a pair of Carvin’s J99A single coil pickups that feature alnico V magnets. Hardware includes a fully-adjustable bridge with lock-down saddles, Carvin premium tuners, and a graphite-teflon nut.
