Bunch of reviews for those unfamiliar with this ultra high clarity cabinet [url="http://acapella.harmony-central.com/archive/index.php/t-1873679.html"]http://acapella.harm.../t-1873679.html[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/187/cat/28"]http://www.talkbass....duct/187/cat/28[/url] [url="http://bassamps.blogspot.com/2006/06/acme-low-b2-ii-cabinets.html"]http://bassamps.blog...i-cabinets.html[/url] [url="http://www.bgra.net/2004/review.php?id=151&type=cabinet"]http://www.bgra.net/...51&type=cabinet[/url] The blurb from the website says: [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]A very compact cabinet with the bass extension of a good 18" subwoofer. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]Amazing transient response; from the fundamental of the open B-string, right up to the highest harmonics of a C or F-string. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]Loud enough for a single cabinet to hold its own against most drummers. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]High power handling. 350W RMS is a good starting point due to the relatively low efficiency of the cabinet. 500W RMS is ideal. The more power, the better the sound. (Within reason - It's only a 2x10"!) [/size][/font] [/list] [/list] [/list] [/list] [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]Use it with an upright bass for loud jazz gigs and be rewarded with true acoustic tone. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font="arial,helvetica,sans serif"][size="2"]A pair makes a very loud, versatile and compact rig. Stack them end on end for amazing dispersion and clarity or side by side for enormous kick. Use them as a high quality PA. For those occasions where true bass response is paramount, monitor your recordings with them. They really are that 'HiFi'! And the entire rig will still fit on the back seat of your compact hatch.

Bumpity. Won't be a biggie if this doesn't sell as its such a superb amp - its just over-spec'd for my needs

Contra cab sold pending. So that leaves the Clarus+ head at £750 plus post, or bundled with my Acme Low B2 cab for £1,000 but this would have to be collected as I have no box for the latter.

I got this recently from BC'er Soliloquy. Its the 8 ohm version of Acme's rarely-seen (at least in the UK) and much-praised Low B2 cab and is in very good condition. While it has superb hi-fi like clarity - making it wonderful for double bass and those who prefer totally uncoloured sound - I just don't think it has quite the volume capabilities I am after, as I was looking for a cab to double between electric and DB. Having A/B'd them properly in the past week, its not as loud for example as my Wizzy 12" 4 ohm cab. These cost over £500 to import from the US, after shipping and import duties, and I will let this go at the £300 I paid*. I don't have a box big enough so in the first instance its collection only (I am in West London, nr Hammersmith) Edit: * now £280 Stock pic: [attachment=97662:acme.jpg] Specs here: [url="http://acmebass.com/"]http://acmebass.com/[/url] SOLD

Flippin eck- bargain! I beat V&R down from £1850 (I think) to £1600, ended up selling at my usual loss for £1300 and not much more than a year later and still in fabulous nick £1100. Someone snaffle this, its lovely

Actually lets call the Clarus+ head £750 as it has been gigged regularly (not that you can see any scars, scrapes or dings; it is still in fabulous condition) but the cab stays at £350 as its never even left my house. £50 discount if you take both

I have them on the Kolstein bass that Keith (Mr_Bassman) sold me and I really like them. Nice low tension but more growl than my previously-favoured Innovation Silver Slaps. I see them as the TI flats of DB strings!

And another bump! This is serously useful as a feedback fighter for DB as well as a PA speaker
