FS/FT Aguilar DB359 all tube head

[hyperba55]

Kind of on the fence about this one - this amp has the best tone I have ever heard, but I don't use it a whole lot because my current situations don't "fit." I love the all tube route, but I need something with a little more power.

the amp sounds killer - I hear one bassist describe it as "the voice of god." Well put.

Amp is in good condition - some scratches on the top from racking/de-racking, but otherwise in great shape. Recently cleaned and given full service. Come with brand new Sovtek power tubes. These tubes have not been used to play out, just to burn in/test. Comes with a Gator rack case.


Asking $1300 plus shipping. Local pickup in the Seattle area okay.

For trades - really interested in the following (+- cash, as needed):

Fender Custom Classic Jazz Bass
Eden WTX-500 (other 330/500 watt small heads considered)
Markbass 102P Traveller cabinet
Ampeg SVT2 Pro (may consider non-Pro or other decently powered tube heads)

I would consider other trades, but really interested in the above. Worst I could do would say "no."

Pics later this evening

Ahh, 200W is a bit low for me, too. Thanks for posting those and good luck selling!

Have to be a Fender Jazz bass? I have 2 custom built Fender P-basses w/ 72RI Jazz necks and I'm thinking of letting one go.

[hyperba55]

Yeah, J Basses only. I did the P thing for awhile and realized that it just isn't me ...
