    Eliza Carthy rocked! Did nobody notice?

    I've got the amp! That was fast. It's in great condition - I guess an amp like this hasn't had to put up with too many rockn'roll gigs. It's a little later in the evening than I'd want to crank it up with the double bass, but I've given it a quick check with my fretless electric. It's very, very clean and flat sounding, like DIing into a desk, so much so that it really shows up the deadness of my strings! Good high end clarity though. I can imagine using some kind of preamp to get a more characterful sound for electric, but I reckon it'll be great with the double bass. Reverb is nice too, i can picture using it with bowed DB.

    I started gigging and rehearsing with a selmer treble n'bass 50 watt amp. In case this makes me sound like an old git, this was mid 1990's. It was loud enough to keep up with a fairly hard-hitting unmiked drummer, albeit with that "early Jack Bruce" style overdrive. If I'd actually wanted that sound at the time, it would have been great! As it was, I traded it in for an unexciting Peavey MK3 after a few gigs.

    This is slightly OT for a bass forum, but I reckon you could make a killer lap-steel guitar using that concept!

    Hello! Just registered on here. I'm a double bassist mostly, though I do play some electric bass too. I've been playing various basses for around 12 years ( double bass for about half that). I'm based in Edinburgh. Just thought I should introduce myself... Martin

    Hello, this is my first post here. Would you believe, I BIN'd this very amp today, then later in the afternoon, registered on Basschat and saw this thread. What are the odds? I'm curious to hear how it sounds too. IMO, much of the colouration in amplified double bass comes from the pickup and speaker system, so a transparent amp, while desirable, isn't a cure-all. I was attracted to the clarus because of it's size and power, and DB specific features like the high Z inputs and notch/LP filter. It'll be used with an EA wizzy 10 cab. I'll let you know how I get on...
