Dig! Your house is burning down, and you can only take one, but that one could include the biggest/heaviest combination. What survives, what burns?
DB751. None of the others have the depth of tone and authority at higher volumes.

That is some nice gear.
My Barefaced Super Twin 212 has me pretty well sorted too. Sure, having two would be fun, but definitely overkill.
I like my Mesa D-800 a lot. The WD800 is appealing, as is some of the Darkglass gear, but I'm not jonesing for it.
I do kinda want one of those Aguilar DB751 amps. I am very curious about them, but because they are so uncommon in stores, I haven't had a chance to sit down with one. How do you like it compared to your two smaller Aguilar amps?
Now you just need a bass or three to go with those amps!
I think I’m sorted now (for the time being at least).View attachment 3459960
Dang! But, which rig is your favorite of the batch? I hav owned a couple of those rigs in your collection and kept the Berg 210/112 stack. Peace
Nice.Horses for courses really. The Bergantino B-Amp and Barefaced cabs have been getting most of the gigs lately, probably followed by the DB751.
Do you think that is a wattage, or tubes, or Class A thing?The DB751 has more depth of tone, authority and warmth.
Nice.
Do you think that is a wattage, or tubes, or Class A thing?
Do you ever find the lack of a comprehensive mids section limiting, or compensate by using an EQ?
I'd really like to give one a whirl, but $2k for used is a little rich for my blood.
Interesting. In-line with the bass or in the loop to bypass the on-Board EQ?I think its a valve/tube pre-amp thing. I normally play with everything at 12 o’clock and add an Aguilar SCR-DI for tone shaping.

Alex Webster and Nick Schendzielos both have full yet articulate tones that I really dig. That is where my interest in these come from.
Anyway, grats on your collection. That's some sweet gear.
Of course, you do know that if you get a 3rd DB112, you can run all three of them off of your AG700, right? How's that GAS doing?
Yeah, the power amp in that head is something special. All the subjective descriptors aside, I think "focus" comes to mind.The DB751 has more depth of tone, authority and warmth.
Dude, what do you mean no more gas? There's a lot of other companies out there that also have there entire lines for sale. You do have more room in your house right?I think I’m sorted now (for the time being at least).View attachment 3459960
