New Aguilar cab line?

[jasonbraatz]

Oh how I wish Aguilar still made the DB728. I want that 10 year warranty.

Aren't we at the point where Dave B from Aguilar (who is a TBer and typically chimes in) responds to this thread???

I'd actually like to see a version of the db750 with the 2 band parametric from the db680 built in. For me, that'd be the ultimate aggie head.

Yes.

Yes.

And....

 

[Andy Will]

Yes.

Come on...........Don't tease us!

Come on...........Don't tease us!

Sorry....we've been crazy busy this week. Plus I couldn't resist the bad joke!

Here is the official press release:

Aguilar announces new cabinet series:

DB bass cabinets to provide massive full range tone!

The new DB series of cabinets were designed to give players the aggressive midrange they need to punch through a mix while maintaining the full-range, musical sound that is the Aguilar signature. These cabinets also continue the DB product's aesthetic legacy. The DB cabinets come standard with textured vinyl covering and grill cloths in the following colors: Classic Black (Black with a Silver grill cloth), Chocolate Thunder (Brown with a Black/Brown weave), and Monster Green (Dark Green with a Black grill cloth). To complete the design, matching head cases will be available. The DB series uses Aguilar's custom cast frame JDK drivers along with a very inert cabinet design. This allows the DB cabinets to create tremendous volume and clarity even on the lowest notes of a down-tuned or multi-string bass guitar.

Power handling is 1400 Watts RMS for the DB 810, 700 Watts RMS for the DB 410, and 350 watts RMS for the DB 210. Both the DB 410 and DB 210 are available in 4 or 8 ohms. The DB 810 is available in 4 ohms only.

Approximate Street Prices: DB 810 - $1499.00, DB 410 - $974.00, DB 210 - $674.00

More info:

The sizes are:

DB 210: 60lbs, 16 5/8" high, 24 1/2" wide, 13 1/8" deep

DB 410: 98lbs, 24 1/4" high, 24 1/2" wide, 17 1/2" deep

DB 810: 46" high, 24 1/2", 18" deep (we haven't weighed this yet)

Also.....These cabinets all have a tweeter and are rear ported.
The goal of the line was to develop an extremely punchy cabinet that still has good low end extension. We felt that we could best accomplish that with a very rigid ported cabinet.
As a result, these cabinets work nicely for rock with the tweeters turned off, or for slap and other percussive styles with the tweeter on. Of course, IMHO.

P.S.

Matching head cases will be available for both the AG series and the DB 750.

P.P.S.

Sorry about the hyperbole. But they really do sound massive!

 

[pickles]

Very cool, I can't wait to try a DB410!!!

Thanks for giving us the lowdown, Dave ... you guys do great work.

 

[jokerjkny]

good stuff, dave,

making really wanna skip my gig to see joey's next gig.

 

[Senor SQUID]

Yep that green sounds nice. With the black grill. I might be thinkin about the chocolate brown too

 

[Andy Will]

Thanks Dave!

Thinking a DB410 will be on the cards for me now then! Time to get a pre-order in with my dealer here in Holland!
........just ashame he didn't order one in green!

 

[daveant]

I play EUB with AI Focus and either Aguilar GS-112, or GS-210. Both are absolutely killin' on their own, but when used at the same time...the ultimate!

 

[Yamarc]

how efficient will these cabs be? Freq response?

 

[wolfs]

Hey Dave B.,

I think it's awesome that you guys are making this DB series in tolex (as opposed to carpet)... plus the whole concept of this series sounds like it's going to kickass. I have the S210 and I love it, but I'm looking (eventually) to get a cab with more aggressive mids and I'm definitely going to have to check these out.

 

[Dave B.]

These are some cool cabs, right here. But how long before Aguilar makes a powerful, compact(ish), lightweight(ish) all tube head again? Seems like these cabs just scream for the real deal.

We love tubes! But we have always felt that the key to a great amp is in the total design, not in one specific approach or technology. The problem in what you're asking for is that it is a very difficult proposition. I don't think any less than 400 watts is considered to be "powerful". That is going to result in a very big and expensive tube amp.

We do think about it once in a while at product development meetings.
But......we think a lot about what folks on this board say!

I actually just looked at Tom Bowlus's equipment list. I think I'm in shock!

Mdf or wood cabs?




I use an AG500sc
2-GS112's

Nice,fat, round sound. Easy too move. Can't wait to check out the new DB210...

Wood. Birch 13-ply. Very stiff cabinet. Sounds "harder" and more clear in the mids than any of the GS or S series cabs.

... some of us have been there, done that...

 

[pickles]

When are these going to start showing up at shops?

 

[Bernie Connors]

Dave,

Are there some photos of the cabs that you could share with us?

Thanks for your continued input,
