SOLD - Acoustic image CLARUS 4 HEAD - SOLD
Rabbie replied to Rabbie's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Bump -
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

Bump.

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.

Bargain! Cost just under £400 new. Works a treat and it is in great condition. Only blemish is the putty tin being a bit bashed and obviously the putty having been accessed to use, but there is still enough putty there for a decade of use! I don't have the original box or manual but that can be downloaded on the net and if you want I will print a copy of it. I can also send you a photo of the sweet spot of the Ehrlund on my bass. In that spot, I had no feedback and, wait for it... It sounded like the holy grail: MY BASS ONLY LOUDER!! So why selling? I have a Schertler system, which is the same idea only with a more expensive preamp, so I don't need two contact mics, and like everyone, I'm needing the dough. Any question please ask. Cheers NEW PRICE £180 - WON'T GO LOWER

Good on ya! Great bass!!!!

Ha ha. Awesome! He actually keeps impeccable time when he's riding the bass around the yard (not so much when he stands still). Mental in a good way. If I try that I'm going straight to A & E. The guys are having an absolute ball, good for them. I bet there's a fair bit of mezcal involved...

[quote name='fatback' timestamp='1434474515' post='2799985'] I've been lucky too, and with a loud band. But I have a KA mag as well as the Full Circle. I've never had to use it, but knowing it's there is mighty relaxing, I can tell you. [/quote] Similarly I have a "just in case" Rev Solo, Blast Cult bridge tension screw and plat pro that I have used in the past in ridiculously loud settings with zero feedback. That's about as safe as I can get with guts.
-
You are all totally right and I know I have been spoilt so far. Or maybe just really lucky. Maybe it's just down to the fact that my Chadwick is not feedback prone and my bands are not that loud, so I have never had to wrestle with impossible feedback situations. If I were in your shoes I would probably do the same.
-
Each to their own. I hear the audience argument, but people have ears. And the performance is a million times better when the musician enjoys it. I hated hearing my piezo sounding like an EB, hence my switch to contact mics and preamps. If the money dictated I need to take super loud gigs I'd definitely go for Blast Cult again.
-
[quote name='fatback' timestamp='1434383783' post='2799089'] Am I understanding right that these have steel core ok for mag? [/quote] Correct. They have their own character. Pleasant enough IMO. About as gut-like as a Ford is Ferrari-like. Still a very usable sound.

Ehrlund---> Ehrlund pre----> AI amp-----> front of house. So far, thanks to the tone shaping of the AI and the phase switch of the Ehrlund preamp, I have been able to play anything from pubs to jazz venues to open air festivals. A couple major festivals this summer will be the ultimate tests, fingers crossed. Mag no good for me due to guts. Good luck to you though and please keep us posted on the results.

I think you got them from me didn't you. In which case I had never ever even had them on my bass and had bought them from another reputable basschatter keeponehandloose if I remember well. Having tried the GT47s, which have "wrapped A and E", I can only assume that these were one of the first incarnations of Lamberts, probably where they got their good name from.
-
Totally understand Michael, I was just highlighting how good Paul basses are, although most people already know. Whoever buys it from you is gonna love it. Mine has a much bigger body but I think the woods are the same and the deep ribs of your solo model are meant to make a huge sound for the size. Highly highly recommended. Good luck.

Wonderful bass! I live in Scotland and I have a Bryant Lott. I'm defo keeping mine though! Somebody take this, a super bass made by a lovely man!

SORRY - that question AGAIN...... Pickups/volume
Rabbie replied to nugget's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Look at Blast Cult p'ups if what you want is sheer volume without going mag, but you may be too hasty. I play with Ehrlund and Schertler and I play in a trio with guitar through valve amp and drummer (though very sympathetic musicians). Drums are noisy compared with a bass played entirely acoustically, but all you need is enough amplification for the band to hear you well on stage, then let the front of house do the rest. Low stage volume see us fine in any situation, from small club to big festival. If faced with feedback at sound check, I switch the phase and bob's your uncle. Just my 2p's worth. Not useful advice for psychobilly guys but may well work for you maybe.
