    Ok Guys, next week I'm gonna have to put this on eBay as I would really like it gone to free cash for something else. I'm making a final silly price cut: £450 for the Clarus series 4 head. It is now in the "beyond bargain" territory. I know it's still a lot of cash to part with, but this is a lot of amp and it would have cost you just about double new... have a great weekend!

    Bought an Aguilar amp from Geoff. Excellent experience all round top guy.

    Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, there is one string maker that is much overlooked now but used to be popular in the past amongst slap players using mags pickups and just people wanting low tension steels with good volume and very dark tone. Jargar "Dolce" is a good set of strings. All steel, long lasting, cheap by Pirastro and Thomastik standards and especially very low tension. When I have open air gigs on the book (like just now), I chuck on a Jargar Dolce E and A with my guts and I enjoy it. Must say I have never tried the D and G.

    Sorry guys I have this in the double bass section, mistake on my part putting on this page. Can you please merge them or close one of them? By the way the price is now £480.

    The bees knees, the mutts nutts of clean tone. Obvious choice of the double bassist, but real great with bass guitar, guitars, keyboards and even vocals. 600w of purity. You all know what this does. It's in perfect condition, one channel, kettle lead and instructions included. Comes well boxed but no original bag I'm afraid. UK postage included in this price, insurance for an extra tenner.

    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...
  24. Rabbie
    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.
