The B2000 mono block bass head is "King" delivering up to 2050w of rich, warm tones all generated from discrete Class A preamps and 12AX7 valve driven power amp. This is the most powerful bass amp Carvin has ever offered, and it's massive output and amazing tone will be a welcome addition to any bassist's rig.

The B2000 offers classic natural bass tone with one of the highest powered amps in the industry. The B2000 delivers 700w at 8 ohms, 1300w at 4 ohms and 2050w at 2 ohms. All this power is housed in a 2 rack space lightweight 14 pound chassis. Class A input stages produce the harmonic basis for the preamp right from the input jack. It begins with a boutique flat response, then we add 6 tone controls for you to carve out your signature sound. Harmonic content increases as you turn up the Drive control producing a growl at maximum settings. A 12AX7 preamp valve yeilds warm valve harmonics, which is switchable in/out of the preamp circuit. Solid design, bullet-proof construction and a list of indispensable features assures B2000 will be the heart of your rig for years to come.

The B2000 is constructed using a heavy-duty 16 gauge steel chassis and a 12 gauge steel front panel that are galvanized to prevent rust. All internal cabling is securely tied and harnessed. Every circuit card is military-grade, double-sided, through-hole plated, fire retardant FR-4 glass epoxy. Toroid transformers are used as they are the engineer's choice for greater power supply current while reducing weight and magnetic "hum" fields.
