Aguilar DB728 + DB680 + Case - CLOSED £2200

[mrbassman_de]

I am considering to part with the ultimate tube amp warship. This extraordinary pre/power combo is long discontinued and a rare find now.

Both units are in top condition. Preamp tubes are higher grade Tesla / JJ and Philips, Power tubes are Svetlana winged-C - All of them brand new installed and biassed at Paul's Bassmatters in Nijmwegen. The units are covered by an oversized flightcase (with a very deep back door). The footswitch for the DB680 is included.

This rack is HEAVY ! So I do not consider shipping. The package is located in Duesseldorf/Germany.
DB728 is sold. Will offer the DB680 separately.

Good luck with the sale, but you know this is a UK forum, right? Collection only may be a problem!!

[mrbassman_de]

Of course I know :-) But this wonderful forum is frequently visited by German, Dutch, Belgium, French, whatever players and may be one of them is interested - who knows ... there is also some chance that I will do a trip to UK in the next months so let's see...

Awesome. You could start, and probably win, a war with that rig.

I would happily walk to Dusseldorf in flippers and carry that thing back the same way if I had £2200

TBH for such a high quality and rare system, someone with the dosh could quite justify a little holiday in germany id love the preamp myself.

[leroydiamond]

Yea. love Basschat because members come from all over. I have had contact from Germany, U.K., Spain, Italy and Ireland regarding an Item I sold here a couple of days ago. Recently traded with a guy in Hungry. Its a great forum!. Best of luck with selling this amazing and rare Aguilar set up

The ONLY amp rig I'd possibly think of selling the SM1500 for - have a bump on me for one hell of a bass amp!

If i gave you the £2200, would you make a video diary?

Beast of a setup and i certainly did not want to suggest otherwise! Out of interest, what kind of total weight are we talking?

[Kiwi]

Should be running a sweepstake on that... I'd say 53.2kg. Hmmm. Yes..

+1. A stunning rig

[mrbassman_de]

Thanks for all comments. I might consider shipping at buyer's risk. I am well known for quite careful packaging, so I would do my best. Although, the poweramp alone is really a heft. Also considering to split the units now for separate deals. I'm open for offers... let me know your thoughts.

[Jazzjames]

A flight to Dusseldorf from Gatwick is as little as £55 return for anyone who's interested. But the baggage fee may bump it up a bit!

Having owned a DB680, I can say that in all seriousness, it is among the very best pres ever designed/built for bass. Staggering. Though I tried, I never managed to pair mine with a 728. I can only imagine that the tone is outrageous. I'm tempted, but wow, the weight. If you can afford it and carry it, I would say that you can't go wrong. We see some fantastic rigs go through these pages but the 680/728 has to be getting towards the peerless end of the spectrum. Also, MrBassman is an outstanding pillar of our community - deal in confidence

[Lee-Man]

I have the DB680 + DB728. Awesome just doesn't do it justice. Any one who buys it will be very very happy indeed.

[mrbassman_de]

Still available. We could meet anywhere with a distance of up to 150 km from my home.

[mrbassman_de]

Indeed. I own a DB680, playing through it now. Jah Wobble lines. I'd love to try the 728. I use mine with a QSC PLX 3102. Will you split?

Yes, I would split. My idea would be

DB680: 950 GBP /1100 EUR
DB728: 1250 GBP / 1500 EUR

Both together with a large case: 2200 GBP / 2500 EUR

Of course, shipping is extra, which could be a lot for the power amp.

Not interested in trades, unless for old Fenders, Allevas, F Bass Fretless or something in that league, probably with cash your way.

For a cash and pick-up sale, I would lower the price significantly - shipping these beasts is a nightmare.
