Aguilar DB 359 all tube amp

[chrisloe]

Just picked this up, I am getting too old and it is just too heavy (50 lbs, I am getting wimpy) for me and I have had some health issues lately, need to cover some bills from being in the hospital for a couple of weeks, so even though it sounds awesome, needs to go.

The amp is in awesome shape, I don't think you will find a cleaner amp. There are a couple of small scratches on the top I think from rack mounting, but the amp looks brand new. Fully functional, sounds rich and fat, if you have heard one of these you know it's the real deal.

Looking for $1200 shipped.

Will ship in the ConUS packed by UPS shipped in a 4 space SKB rack which is obviously included.

Here is some info:

The fat Aguilar sound in a 2 rackspace head.

The Aguilar DB 359 is a powerhouse of fat, warm bass tone. The solid-steel chassis means this amp will be on the road with you for a long time. The DB 359's preamp design employs the same tube gain stages as the world-famous DB 680, while the DB 728 amp design was used in the power section of the new head. These features combined with Aguilar's reputation for extreme quality in design and manufacture make the new DB 359 Bass Head an important milestone in bass amplification.

Second picture is not the actual amp, just a better picture than I have of what it looks like.

Just as a word of advice, I would ship it in its own box if I were you. I bought one of these a couple years back and it was shipped in a rack case. The amp's faceplate ended up totally twisted and warped.

Bump for a great price on a legendary amp, I wish I was pulling the trigger on this.

[dmrogers]

Wow, I was thinking about killer tube amps! Forgot about this one.

Too bad the economy is in the tank, I would be all over this!

[chrisloe]

Amp does sound killer, wish I could keep it, just not in the cards right now.

Awesome amp!

[PatO]

are you entertaining any trade ideas on this amp?

[chrisloe]

Sorry, right now not interested in trades, had a couple of health issues, missed a bunch of work, kind of need an outright sale, otherwise I might just be keeping it.

Thanks though, Chris.
