Now that Acoustic Image is no more, is there anybody making this sort of amp? It doesn't have to be a bass specific amp, it could be for acoustic instruments broadly, as long as it sounds good on double bass.

Double Bass Two channel combo amp with adjustable high pass filter/filters?
- Thread starter DuluthDank

These are excellent, I love mine for double bass. But the HPF is baked in, not adjustable. (They did set it at a good spot for DB in my opinion, though.)
I don't know if or how you can get it in the United States, but Realbass would be one possibility...

Not to overcomplicate things, but have you considered a Grace Felix? Then you can use it with whatever amp/PA/powered speaker you want to.
Looking at the replies so far, that may end up being my best option. I think i'm just too picky about extended lows, and need that kind of control. Maybe this deserves a new post, but what sorts of amp/powered speaker would you suggest?
That is/was my solution...
until I discovered API-500-Preamps and so on..
but the Felix is still a really great tool!
That is/was my solution...
Which APA product do you use? Is there one that can mix two instrument inputs?
Theoretically there are such things, for example the Serpent Audio Send'n Blend or the M/S Blender 500 or the Radial SX-500, but unfortunately they are no longer built and are therefore only available second-hand and/or very expensive...I solved the mixing problem with a Lehle Parallel SW II...
LEHLE PARALLEL SW II: Parallel FX looper & stereo mixer
Mono/stereo discrete class-A input stages with 30V technology for 122dB dynamic range. True-bypass footswitch with latching, momentary or mixed operation.
Sorta depends on your needs. If I was starting all over, knowing the journey I've taken, I'd get the Felix and the nicest FRFR type powered speaker I could find. Honestly I'd probably be pretty happy with a nice QSC K12.2 or equivalent. I play jazz and big band, seldom need to be too terribly loud. Anything more and I'm looking for a PA, which the Felix does incredibly well with two dedicated XLR outs. Last big supported gig I took the Felix on, the sound guy loved that he was able to run the EB and DB separate to the mains and to the monitor tech.
It might be a good idea to check out the EV Everse 8 or 12 ..

Even if you don't need the "battery power", it seems to be an interesting alternative according to some reports I've got some acquaintances and friends, who checked it out...
