Aguilar DB751 plus Roller Rack Case - Mint - *SOLD* £1900 Leeds

[petergales]

Infirmity and old age have told me that it's time to stop lugging heavy gear around so this amp - acknowledged as a leader in its class - must be put up for sale.

 

I have had it from new, always kept in a rack case and therefore it's in immaculate condition. It has just been serviced by Gareth at Sound Services. I put it in a Gator Roller Rack Case to help with transporting it to and from gigs but I still can't avoid the lifting and my ruptured shoulder tends to complain at that.

 

It performs superbly. The official blurb is as follows.

 

The DB® 751 combines the legendary tube-driven tone of the DB® 750 with greater EQ control. A perfect combination of raw power and excellent tone, the DB® 751 continues the legacy set by the world famous DB® 750. Delivering 975 Watts at 2 ohms and 750 Watts at 4 ohms, this amp has the headroom you need to play any size venue.

Peter - I might be infirm and old myself but I'm sure I bought once of these from you about 10 years ago!

 

Wonderful amps though, glwts, I doubt it will hang around long

[petergales]

Thanks Andy

 

Yes, you did and I missed it so much that I bought another one!

 

They are indeed wonderful amps but I'm having to be realistic and steadfast.

Thanks, it's a brilliant amp and I'm offering it at almost £1,000 less than I've seen it retail.

All the best

I played through one of these at Love Supreme festival. The best sound I've ever had on stage.

You know what is better than the kind of headroom designs like this offer? Nothing. Nothing at all.

For sure this takes some beating. I used to run it through a Bergantino NV412 and it sounded absolutely awesome.
