No more gas.

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?

The DB751 has more depth of tone, authority and warmth.
 
Now you just need a bass or three to go with those amps!

You mean like:

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.

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.

Interesting. In-line with the bass or in the loop to bypass the on-Board EQ?
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.
