paulie Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) I am downsizing my rig at the moment so this needs to go. The DB750 is the Rolls Royce of bass amps. This one is one of the later models just before they changed to the DB751 which are not quite as nice (imo) Its in excellent condition and it is housed in the optional Aguilar rack Case (tolex with chrome corners) These cost about 2k new at the moment without the case (which is an extra £150) Selling for £1100 WIll send photos by email if required but I am having trouble posting them here Thanks Edited June 2, 2011 by paulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Possibly the finest pro spec touring head ever built - good price too - have a bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Blimey... if only you'd posted this a few days ago - I've just ordered a new DB751 !! Great amp though it was, the DB750's discontinued now though - were they ever 2K ?? Bass Merchant are doing the DB751 for £1499 including delivery...

paulie Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Yeah, 2k was the going rate on the DB750. The new DB 751 is lovely but they made a few changes that I didnt like such as the rubber control knobs and plastic switches but if the tone is still there who cares! Hope you enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the sale, DB750 an awesome amp people. Edited May 29, 2011 by PauBass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear more positive words. There doesn't seem to be a review piece on BC yet, perhaps I'll post one once it arrives. Checked your band's site by the way - sounds great!

paulie Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Bump for a great amp. I played through it at home last night and it sounds unreal. The sound is best described as valve warmth and fast response with smooth clear high end. The amp doesnt have a mark on it, pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
