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.
List Price: $875

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.
