  1. [url="http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/Aguilar_zpsnytzmmdf.jpg.html"][/url] The bass and cabs are NOT for sale so please don't ask. Excellent condition, not long since serviced. Comes with Boschma case. 750 watt @ 4 ohm (975w @ 2 ohms which it will do... but your ears will bleed) with huge amounts of headroom. Low on fancy bells and whistles, you don't get presets or built in tuners BUT you do get loads of 'tone'! Genuinely sorry but I'm not going to courier to anybody/anywhere (not chancing damage) but I'd imagine if you want to own one of these you'd come and collect any way (NE England) OR there is a slim chance I'm travelling to the Midlands during the next week or so. [url="http://www.aguilaramp.com/pdf/support_manuals_db750.pdf"]http://www.aguilaram...nuals_db750.pdf[/url] [size=4][b]Features:[/b][/size] [b]Active/Passive inputs:[/b] Start by using the passive input. If your bass’s output distorts the input section, switch to the active position. In the active input, a 10 db pad in the signal path will remedy the situation. [b]Volume pot:[/b] This pot controls the gain of the preamp section. Clean sounds are usually achieved by setting the input gain around 11 or 12 o’clock. A little bit of musical distortion will occur if set past one or two o’clock. [b]Equalization:[/b] [b]Treble:[/b] Tube driven shelving type, boosts up to 12 db. The center frequency is set at 4 kHz. [b]Bass:[/b] Tube driven shelving type, boosts up to 12 db. The center frequency is set at 40 Hz. [b]Midrange:[/b] Tube driven shelving centered at 400 Hz. [b]Deep Switch:[/b] The deep switch adds 3db of broadband boost at 30 Hz. [b]Bright Switch:[/b] This switch is passive RC pre-emphasis circuit at 5-7 kHz. The bright switch will add a brighter timbre to the entire range of your bass. [b]Effects Loop:[/b] The Send pot is push/pull for line or instrument level. This allows you to use a studio effects unit (line level) or a stomp box (requires instrument level) in the FX loop. Adjust the amount of send so as to get maximum performance from your effects unit. The parallel/series pot is push/pull for parallel or series operation. In the parallel mode affected signals are mixed to the dry sound. In series mode the entire sound of your bass is processed by the effects in the loop. The amount of effects can be adjusted with the return pot. If you pull the return pot out for series operation without any effects plugged in the loop, the loop will be open and no sound will result. [b]Master Output Control:[/b] This pot controls the output level to your power amp. [b]XLR Balanced Output:[/b] Use the –30dB pre-eq setting in a concert situation where the house mixer is taking a signal into the house-mixing console. The house mixer is now getting his feed after the preamp stage, but can use appropriate eq for the venue. The eq on stage will still be controlled by your settings. If the house mixer wants your eq settings included in the mix, set the control to –30 post eq. The – 30 level is correct output level for going into a preamp on a mixer. Our balanced output uses the highest quality Jensen output transformer. If you hear any ground noise, change the position of the ground lift switch under the output [b]OUTPUT INTERFACES:[/b] [b]Rear Panel:[/b] [b]Speakon Connectors:[/b] Two speakon connectors are provided. Use 12 gauge or larger speaker cable for proper connections. [b]FX Send:[/b] Connect the input of your effects unit to this output. [b]FX Return:[/b] Connect the output of your effects unit to this input. [b]Footswitch:[/b] Use the Aguilar footswitch to mute the signal for silent tuning (not supplied). [b]Preamp out:[/b] Full range preamp output allows you to run into another poweramp in conjunction with your DB750. [b]Poweramp in:[/b] The DB750 can be used as a stand alone poweramp or for slaving two DB750s together. [b]Tuner out:[/b] A ¼ inch jack that sends a signal to your tuner. [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I would take a trade (always interested in trying new toys) BUT interested parties have to be realistic about respective values; if your bass/amp/cab regularly sells on BC for 'xyz' amount I'm not going to be giving you +50% of that figure... does that seem fair?

The body is Swamp Ash faced with Maple. The bass is probably 10 years old (can't recall how to date Zons accurately) but can only be described as immaculate. I've checked the bass over top to bottom and can't find a single ding or dink on the body or neck. [/font][/color][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Graphite neck has no truss rod to worry about and is ultra stable. [/font][/color][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Super light weight 7lb 14oz and balances perfectly with no neck dive.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If you've not heard of the lightwave system, do a bit of research but essentially the system uses sensors on the bridge as opposed to magnetic pups. You get zero noise (even under lights) and unparalleled harmonics/sustain. You can use any strings on the bass inc nylon as there are no magnetic properties involved; setting up the system for new gauges or materials is a doddle, info available online but I'll supply a print out of factory instructions. Comes with two power supplies (UK and USA), spare Lightwave factory supplied battery (present battery holds charge for at 'least' the minimum 12 hrs of continuous use) and immaculate condition Zon branded case.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I would take a trade (always interested in trying new toys) BUT interested parties have to be realistic about respective values; if your bass/amp/cab regularly sells on BC for 'xyz' amount I'm not going to be giving you +50% of that figure... does that seem fair?

  3. This is the reason I ask for the actual weight of a bass a seller has; often manufacturers weight can be out by a pound either way... yes potentially 2lb difference between identical basses. I have 4 Warwick Streamers the lightest is 7lb 7oz the heaviest 9lb 3oz and my saga to find a light weight Lakland identified identical model basses that exceeded the 2lb differential.
  4. I'm another who'd advocate more speaker displacement over throwing more watts into your existing cab.
  5. Yep it is what it says. Also has a replacement nut, extra pot (+ existing pot-hole filled) added poss for 3 band EQ (this would likely have been 2 band EQ in 1990), is it a top mounted output or is it a snapped off pot shaft? I'd ask about the line/potential crack from the 6th tuner. Pups may well be original as Barts were an option and the routing looks correct. Fingerboard is ebony as opposed to usual wenge but this could be a custom order bass due to it being an early sixer.
  6. Has there ever been damage to the neck/headstock joint (Not all suffer but a known weak point)?
  7. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1458860394' post='3011734'] Beautiful! Just FYI, this bass is a Steamer bass, SSI and SSII did not come in until much later [/quote] LOL While I was typing!
  8. Nice bass but it's a Streamer not a SSII which is a similar shape but very different bass. Aside from a refret and new nut is the rest of the hardware replacement?
  9. Nice. I've been looking for a SSII for a while... unfortunately I'm after an 80's one or I'd have been messaging you! GLWTS
  10. I've heard some truly awful, thin/boxy sounding 12's and some thunderous, deep 12's (inc' in that are 2x12's as well). Likewise I've heard flabby 15's and 15's that could shatter glass... and as for TENs! I have to agree that it is pointless generalising because there are as many exceptions to the rule (10's toppy, 15's bottom, 12's middy) as there are obey the rule. It's good fun trying them all out though to come to this conclusion.
  11. TBH there have 'probably' been more grumblings about the reliability of the Ampeg PF500 amps as opposed to the Hartke amps, that would have me having 2nd thoughts about the Ampeg as an amp choice! However, you pays your money...
  12. Same period and my old 4 string Pro I also had 20mm string spacing (44mm nut width), I was never into slap but when slappers tried it they loved the separation. Oddly it never felt a handful as it was quite shallow in depth.
  13. [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1458062529' post='3004334'] Same here [/quote] Ditto.
  14. Superb amps and a decent price. Where are you based?
  15. Rather than start a new thread I thought that I'd add to this. Demeter > TC RS210 cabs working well and made to measure (sorry for the shoyte image)! I have been messing about with EQ settings and tbh as an after thought threw the Leland Sklar shape in... yep that works. I tweaked a bit more treble/presence than his setting as I was liking the 'dark' setting but this may be my default and subsequent tweaks made from there. I have to say it is still a wrench coming away from the Thunderfunk.

  16. Guessing this will be gone but I'll throw my hat in the ring as interested (my first bass was one of these... though I don't recall the headstock like that )
  17. [quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1457712743' post='3001266'] I would expect a reasonable discount to buy a bass without the original bag or case... [/quote] Conversely some folks make low ball offers for a bass that you might agree to but 'without' the case; leaving you to sell the case to recoup the difference! I've had it happen several times where buyers have said that they use x/y/z brand of case/gigbag and don't want the case that is with the bass, so would I knock off £20-£50 or whatever. Consequently I've got several branded cases off past basses, which have proved useful... for when I buy said brand of bass without a case!
  18. Love the use of big rubber feet/pads on the back; other manufacturers take note!
  19. 2-Tek bridges real quality but rare as!
  20. Yes I've played a few M[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]aruszczyk basses in the last year and they range from 'helium filled' to very light! [/font][/color]
  21. I know Dave Wilson personally and his work is second to none! Do you have an accurate weight (I'll be the first of the 'weight challenged' shoulder injured bassists to ask)?
  22. Surely it's the 1000th bass made... shouldn't #1 be B000001
  23. My Sonus 'Lightwave' [URL=http://s54.photobucket.com/user/warwickhunt/media/Zon%20L2_zpsadjoxmcm.jpg.html][IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/Zon%20L2_zpsadjoxmcm.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  24. I got myself another John but its a Lightwave model and the system fitted doesn't suit my playing style (lots of palm muting). GLWTS
