I don't need any more amplification but would be prepared to p/x this against a 4-string bass (I have twp Ps, so either a US/RWJazz or US Stingray, but be warned I'm fussy over colours!!!!)

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' timestamp='1332999411' post='1595928'] I gig with one of these with my Washburn AB40SH Acoustic Bass and it really is the dogs bollox, sounds great paired with my Eden 2x10. Yes it has a few bells and whistles which I don't use but so do most amps. Run it through a Sansamp or effects pedals and you've got yourself a great powerful lightweight rig for electric bass too. I'm sorely tempted to buy this just in case I ever need another one. I can't really justify it though. [/quote] Thanks Purpolaris. In fact I will happily keep this amp if I alternatively sell my Markbass F1. I only need one amp and I'm not fussed which one I keep as they are both excellent for electric and DB. Hence I've put the F1 up for sale this morning and will keep which ever one doesn't sell [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172096-fs-markbass-f1-custom-bag-or-acoustic-image-clarus%3B-which-ever-goes-first/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172096-fs-markbass-f1-custom-bag-or-acoustic-image-clarus%3B-which-ever-goes-first/[/url]

I have two great amps that can each be used for electric or DB and I only need one. I have put my Acoustic Image Clarus+ amp up for sale on the DB forum but would happily hang on to that and sell my Markbass F1, I'm really not fussed which one I keep. I bought my F1 off BC'er Gareth Hughes recently and - bar a few minor cosmetic scratches on top (perhaps from having a preamp sat on it?) its in excellent condition. I have subsequently acquired a Markbass padded gigbag for it (from Thomann; at BassDirect these cost £80 [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MB_GB_TC.html"]http://www.bassdirec...s/MB_GB_TC.html[/url]). In total the amp plus gigbag cost me about £490 inc post and I will sell for £450 all-in (ie, amp + gigbag + post within UK). Basically, if the F1 sells first I will withdraw the Clarus+ and vice-versa.

Thanks MS! I am not looking for rig trades here as I have enough amplification.

PS, also selling a virtually brand-new (as in ungigged, never left house, only a few hours on it) EA Wizzy 10 cab. The two paired together would be an awesome DB rig. The separate sale prices are £675 + £425 (a total of £1,100) - I would lop £75 off this if they went together, ie, £1,025 posted

I bought this off BC'er eubassix only a couple of weeks ago but its not for me. I bought it as a London transport-friendly combo for my DB and acoustic bass but - while it fits the size criterion nicely - I am not 100% on the tone (a bit chorus-y for me). Jazzers use to love these and the reviews on the web are great (eg, [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/92612"]http://www.harmonyce.&#46;&#46;/products/92612[/url]) £[s]275 [/s]£250 plus post please (I paid David/eubassix £300 plus post) Here's a pic of one very similar (but rather more battered than mine): [attachment=103595:167.jpg] Manual: [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/manuals/200mb.pdf"]http://www.gallien-k...nuals/200mb.pdf[/url] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=6][font=Times New Roman][size=6]200MB Specifications[/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Max Input Level [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]9v rms[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Sensitivity (400hz) [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Power [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]100w@4ohms[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Effects Send [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]750mv rms into 22k for full power[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Effects Return [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]750mv rms into 12k for full power[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Extension Speakers [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]200MB 8 ohms with internal speaker[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]on 4 ohms with internal speaker off[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]200MB[/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Weight [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]24lbs.[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [left][b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Dimensions [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]13.75'' x 15'' x 3.5''[/size][/font][/size][/font][/left] [b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]Speakers [/size][/font][/size][/font][/b][font=Times New Roman][size=2][font=Times New Roman][size=2]1x12'' [/size][/font][/size][/font]

Reviving this FS thread. My excellent condition Acoustic Image Clarus+ - around a year or so old - up FS. 800W at 4 ohms, twin channel (so can run mic and piezo). New price was £995. Will do for £675. Nothing better for DB but I don't need all its functionality, especially as my new gig is with my Takamine acoustic bass, not my DBs. Comes with padded gigbag.

Nice bass. Might be worth adding the weight as these bubinga bodied Warwicks vary enormously from the perfectly manageable to humungously heavy!!!!

A +1 for the Wizzy 12 cab - I have one and its a marvellous combination of power and clean, uncoloured sound. Good luck with the sale
