Aguilar db750??

I wish I knew, I'm considering going the same route...Penta thru Aggie, already got the cabs.
I've got to find one to demo down here, but I'm so impressed with the cabs, I definitely would like to go all-Aguilar!
I'll be watching over your shoulder...

 

You've peeked at the specs on the Ag page?
www.aguilaramp.com
Very scary. I know specs aren't everything, but I'm really trusting the Aguilar stuff lately.
So are a lot of the Big Name Pro's...
I'll let you know if I run across one anytime soon.
Might be interested in the one at Daddy's if you pass it up.

 

That amp has not come out yet. They are still in the first production set. I am on a waiting list to recieve mine. I just paid for it today. The person that is selling it to Daddy must have payed for it and can't get their money back so he must sell it off some how. There is a two month wait for these amps. I was lucky enough to get one of the first one's. It should be shipping off next monday. I should be seeing it in the next couple of weeks.

Well I will let you know. A guy in town is selling it to daddy's and there was already one guy that has dibs on it so.... who knows. I want to try it out when it comes in before that other guy takes it. I know, a lot of the heavy hitters are using them including my ultimate fave player, Garry!
------------------------------------
I was told by New York G&B that Aguilar has a large run almost finished.
But..... not done yet. So I doubt that Daddy's has one, let alone a used one!
Maybe they got the numbers mixed up, and it's a different model?
When I saw Willis at a Mars clinic he was using a DB 359 and two GS 112's.
I haven't heard the DB 750; but the DB 359 sounded mighty fine to me.

 

How did those GS112's that Willis was using sound that night?

 

Well, his sound was unbelievable. But, was it the cabs or the man?
He gave an amazing two hour clinic. He is very analytical about his playing .
Not that he doesn't sound inspired and musical; but he really understands and can explain everything about his playing. And a nice guy! Oh, the cabs-I was told by one of the sales reps that Willis helped fine tune the GS 112's at Aguilar. Hard to say if it was the amp or the cabs; but Gary's tone was heavy and beautiful.
I'll stop now before I mist over.

 

The 359 is only 200 watts. My friend got one and it definitely wasnt loud enough. That was his only complaint. On the other hand the sound of that head was great.

It depends on where you play and who you play with to really tell whether the amp will be loud enough or not. With a jazz type group it should be plenty, but with a rock group no way.

I just purchased the 750 and two gs 112's. I may get two more 12's if i like the way they sound.

 

The DB359 sounds super sweet, but even taking into account that tube amps sound a lot louder than comparable wattage solid state amps, it will not be as loud as your SM900.

 

Haven't taken the plunge yet, but am considering the 750. Really enjoying my GS410 & GS115!
Brandin, I'd like to hear about the 112's when you have time...

I had a high-volume rehearsal with a Carvin Rl1000 and a GS410 fri nite; the cab is superb!

 

I own the DB 728 pwr amp (Ashdown RPM 1 pre-amp in case your curious) and a GS410 and GS112 and they all sound great. I too, am curious about the DB750 - Not yet availible in L.A. I will be going the winter NAMM show next year and hopefully get the chance to A/B it next to the DB728. (who knows - maybe a year old power amp up for sale soon!)

As far as the GS112, It's a great little cab for small and small/medium venues! It's very portable, easy on the back. and has one of the fatter, warmer sounding tones compared to others. But the tone would also depend on how loud you need to be in these venues. IMHO, the GS112, even paired, would not be close to the overall loudness and tone of the GS410 (Even the reps will back me on this.) but, this is not to diminish the sound of the 112, it's just that it won't sound as big as the 410's would in a larger/louder venue.

What works really great (for me, anyways) is using the 112 as a stage monitor pointed at the drum and guitar players with the 410 taking the brunt!

I hope this perspetive is helpful. Of course, as always, let your ears make the final decision. Good luck.

 

Well, technically (though I'm not a technician) the DB359 should be about 90% as loud as the DB728. The primary difference between the two being the headroom available. When I tried out the 359 into an Eden 4x10, it filled it confidently. Of course, I had to crank it, but don't be afraid to crank it. If it is indeed 90% as loud as my DB728 (jvtwin?), then it would be sufficient for most gigs outside of a loud outside gig. But hey, everyone's ears are different.

 

Listen up all ya chowder heads! If anyone is interested, there is a DB680 & DB728 available at N.J. Bass & Guitar- 732- 225- 4444. It was a trade in & is in exec cond. The price is only $2600, I played a Penta & Dingwall + a Sonus through them with an Eden XLT4x10, sounded beautiful + quiet. Ask for Jay & tell 'em Satan sent ya. P.S. they have a big selection of high end gear.
