ELECTRIC CELLO GEAR

Here's a selection of equipment that I have personally used and found to be complementary to my electric cellos. Some of it I can supply to you directly and the rest you should be able to find yourself. Please support your local music store!

Haggerty Cello Enclosure

In a collaborative effort with Haggerty Enclosures we now offer the only speaker system designed specifically for the 4, 5 and 6 string Electric Cello. This is an audiophile quality cabinet that can accurately produce the full range of the Cello down to 40 Hz at all volume levels. Compact and very musical, it is the perfect companion to a Vector Electric Cello. Combined with an Acoustic Image amplifier, it provides 180 watts of floor-shaking volume. Add the DigiTech RB200 Digital Effects Processor and you will have an Electric Cello setup that will enable you to play any gig, anywhere, with unmatched tone, volume and control.
These enclosures also come with extra rack spaces on top to hold amplifiers and effects processors. Also shown is the custom Black Walnut model.. (Clarus amplifier not included)

The Clarus from Acoustic Image

The Clarus is a compact and powerful integrated amplifier
for acoustic and electric instruments. Combining a flexible four-band preamp section and a 300 watt amplifier in a compact 5 pound package, it provides transparent, powerful and accurate sound reproduction across the full frequency spectrum. When combined with a high quality speaker system, the Clarus facilitates the ultimate in sound reproduction. All this in a package that is so small and lightweight that it is dwarfed by amplifiers of comparable features and output. Despite its reasonable cost, the Clarus doesn't skimp on features. A sophisticated preamp section provides 4-band equalization, a selectable notch or high pass filter, effects looping and a balanced direct out.

Digitech BP200

As far as processors go this unit is hard to beat. . Easy to program, it contains a preamp, a tuner, drum machine, computer models of famous amplifiers etc, etc. The best part is the built in pedal which can be programmed to control any of the parameters such as volume, length of delay, wah-wah etc.

Carbon Graphite Bows

I'm offering these bows as some players have difficulty finding them at more traditional shops. Great for those gigs where gear is likely to get knocked about. A computer designed stick made of carbon graphite fiber yields a highly responsive bow intended for more advanced players. Features nickel silver windings, leather grip and a fully lined ebony frog with Parisian eye.

5-String Conversion Kit

Many players are interested in doing their own 5-string Cello conversions so I put together this package of parts and step by step instructions. Includes tuners, conversion plates, new nut, low F (or Hi E) string, 5-string tailpiece. 14 mm. drill bit, output jack, templates and Barbera Multi-Transducer bridge. If you're not particularly handy, I'd suggest getting your local luthier to do the job.

LR Baggs Para DI

Still the best unit out there for the price. It does it all. Controls input and output volume, adjusts tone, suppresses feedback, has an XLR out and an effects loop.
$275

 

Ocean Flight Case

Protect your investment! These cases are the best protection you can get. If you do any amount of traveling and gigging you won't regret it. Everything is padded and protected and there's even wheels for added convenience.
