    Hi guys, I'm in dire need of a double bass preamp to use with piezo as a one off emergency kinda high volume gig. Something like Fdeck, Fdeck clone, old Fishman, K&K, you name it... Has anyone got one to sell or lend me for a couple of weeks, after which I will post it back with thanks. I am happy to buy it too. I do need it by the end of next week eek.... Thanks guys and gals.

    Excellent, that's what I play. BUT it's not a psychobilly volume option. The slap sounds organic, not harsh line with a "clicky". Playing in a trio with guitar and drums, no problem at all and great sound. The phase inversion switch on the preamp is great for feedback. I have used it straight through PA (only do that if you trust the sound engineer) or through my Acoustic Image amp (excellent). Again, I'm only selling because I have a Schertler system which has a more comprehensive preamp.

    No the plain E is much like a double wrapped Twister size-wise. In fact I used that with a ADG gut for about a year. Then I switched to wrapped Lenzner E, then Dlugolecki wrapped E. Then I did the last album with a very old Innovation steel wrapped (black windings) and pure gut ADG. Harder to slap but sounded awesome. Now I'm trying Evah Pirazzi slap and find them good, but the E is a bit dead for the money they cost. The best bang for the buck gut setup is Blast Cult tone mongers, possible with a Lenzner A if you don't like the steel A. My opinion today.... PS - that's about 2+years of A D and G being the same guts (Lenzner) and they still sound great. I only took them off to try the full set of Evah slap now. Which really answers the "doubters" in showing that regularly oiled guts can last for years.

    It is totally great, no doubt about that. My selling is just due to a slight change of band needs and venues, some of which calls for pure rocking oomph. No doubt I will wish I didn't sell as soon as it goes but the reality of the struggling muso is that gear has to sell before new gear is aquired...

    Mate, personally I would advise against it. It's a great thump but the price factor is huge, the pizzicato note is very disappointing although the sound of the slap is great. Also you need to cut pretty big grooves in the bridge and nut.

    That's right Sarah, thank you.

    this listing started off for the Acoustic Image Ten2 series 4 combo. I have since sold the cabinet separately, so the Clarus Head is now for sale at the very low price of £420 (RRP would be £747) The standard of all double bass amplification. Needs no introduction if you are reading this. 600w of clean power, wonderful reproduction of the acoustic sound. Can be used with any cab or even as the best ever studio DI. Instruction book and kettle lead included. Well boxed but no carry bag. Delivery is included for UK. Please note: although the the photos show the combo, the cab is sold and ONLY the CLARUS HEAD is FOR SALE £420 I will renew the photo as soon as I can get on my laptop, can't seem to be able to do that on my phone.

    Hi all, This is basically the flagship acoustic image speaker, containing 2 x 10inch speakers, one down firing and the other one forward facing. It is "cabrio ready", meaning you can fit an acoustic image Clarus head in it or just use it as a cabinet. It comes with its own padded carry case, all in perfect mint conditions. I am keeping my AI Clarus head at the moment unless you make me a great offer for a complete AI rig. This cab costs £792 new and £140 for the gig bag, so I would say that £500 is a good price. Any question please ask. Postage wise, it's UK only but I would send abroad for an extra charge. Cheers

    Lovely bass. Seems like a great deal. Just a couple of months too late for me unfortunately. Good luck with the sale!

    To be fair sound wise they are both excellent. The Schertler's preamp however has more sound management options, whilst the Ehrlund preamp only has volume and phase reverse. The price of the Schertler obviously reflects that. Still, I played an outdoors festival last month with just Ehrlund into front of house, no amp. No feedback and perfect sound. There is an excellent thread at Talkbass in which lots and lots of people tell all about why the love the Ehrlund. I think it's called something like "An Ehrlund blog sort of".

    + 1 for the Blast Cult tone mongers. They are also long lasting though the guts are somewhat hairier than others, but very long lasting and great tone. A bit of easy weekly maintenance with nail clippers and almond oil and you are in for a long time of enjoyment in my opinion.

    Thomas at Duke is a legend on all accounts. I was in love with my Duke but had to let it go on account of getting another great bass which I just could not afford to miss out on. WHEN I win the lottery, I'm getting another Duke for sure.
