krispn Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Outboard preamp built to withstand a nuclear holocaust that will instantly make your upright, vintage bass, cheap bass, active bass, electro acoustic hell even you toaster sound better if it survives said holocaust I 'created' a custom foam housing for the pre where it has lived since day one (cut out of a packaging foam block and made to look extra classy with gaffa tape) Some demo's of the 924 [url="http://www.basstasters.com/preamps/Aguilar_DB924.html"]http://www.basstasters.com/preamps/Aguilar_DB924.html[/url] The DB 924 is an 18v boost only preamp with vol, bass and treble controls. Similar to the Sadowsky unit, which incidentally was initially designed by the Aguilar guys before going into business under their own name. Having tried the Sadowsky I was left feeling a little disappointed with it. The Aguilar on the other hand seems to add a bit more clarity and presence. You know when its on but its not overpowering - just like the early Aguilar pre amps - the controls are voiced to enhance your tone without ever being overbearing. Aguilar £130 posted and insured Boxed, as new and totally mint. Cheers Edited March 25, 2011 by krispn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Pic added of the homemade foam case. Its a solid packaging block hollowed out and then wrapped in gaffa tape and bubble wrap. Channels have been made to get the input and output leads in and a flap added so one can access the volume, bass and treble controls. As you can see Im a true craftsman and as such the level of detail and refinement are of an exceptional high standard Sturdy!

krispn Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Bump for the secret weapon - played through a crappy amp at the w/e as part of an amp share - set it flat went through the Db924 and had a killer tone which actually got some compliments!
