Infirmity and old age have told me that it's time to stop lugging heavy gear around so this amp - acknowledged as a leader in its class - must be put up for sale. I have had it from new, always kept in a rack case and therefore it's in immaculate condition. It has just been serviced by Gareth at Sound Services. I put it in a Gator Roller Rack Case to help with transporting it to and from gigs but I still can't avoid the lifting and my ruptured shoulder tends to complain at that. It performs superbly. The official blurb is as follows. The DB® 751 combines the legendary tube-driven tone of the DB® 750 with greater EQ control. A perfect combination of raw power and excellent tone, the DB® 751 continues the legacy set by the world famous DB® 750. Delivering 975 Watts at 2 ohms and 750 Watts at 4 ohms, this amp has the headroom you need to play any size venue. DB® 751 FEATURES Self-Diagnostic Protection Circuit and Thermal Overload Protection Circuit (both with LED indicators) Power Output: 975 watts @ 2 ohms, 750 watts @ 4 ohms, 400 watts @ 8 ohms Preamp Section: Three 12AX7’s Power Section: 12 complimentary lateral MOSFETs Transformer: Custom Aguilar toroidal power transformer EQ Section: passive tone stack with active midrange element Bass: +12 / -12 @ 40Hz Midrange: +12 / -12 @ 750Hz Treble: +12 / -7 @ 4kHz Deep Switch: Adds 5 dB of broadband boost at 30 Hz Bright Switch: Adds 5 dB of broadband boost at 5-7 kHz Effects Loop: Send is push/pull for line or instrument level; Return is push/pull for parallel or series operation Inputs: One 1/4″ input jack with an active/passive switch Outputs: Two Neutrik Speakon speaker outputs, Jensen XLR balanced output (with pre/post EQ and ground lift switch) and Tuner out. Cooling: Two high-quality whisper fans with thermal speed control Dimensions: 17″ W x 14″ D x 5.25″ H Rack Size: Three Spaces, Includes detachable rack ears Weight: 42 lbs For obvious reasons I'm not prepared to courier this but collection from Leeds is welcomed or a meet up within a 50 mile radius. Thanks for looking.

Hi I can't see an outlet for one and the manual does not mention it. So, unfortunately, I think the answer to your question is no, it can't take an extension cab. Having said that, it's rated at 200 watts output with a tilt back design so it comes across as very loud. I've only used it as a practice combo so the gain and volume knobs never go past 9 o'clock (number 2 on the dial). Regards Pete

Price drop type bump. Come on and get yourself a bargain!

I just bought an American Pro Jazz from Nick and I can say that he is a great guy to deal with. Great comms and very helpful. Good luck with the sale Nick.

Yes they are.

That's beautiful! Shame you are so far away.

Yes they are. Great tone and an easy one hand lift too.

I must clear some space so these will have to go. Two Aguilar cabs, one with tweeter and one without. Together they sound great. They are in excellent, unmarked, mint condition as I bought them new from Bass Direct just before Covid lock down. As such they have had very little use and have always been kept in the Roqsolid covers I bought at the time. These are no longer in production so grab the chance while you can. I won't trust these to a courier but am happy to meet up within a reasonable distance from Leeds.

Thank you BigJHW. I was so impressed with this bass that I'm now after a 4 string BB434 as I'm strictly a 4 stringer.

Looking at market valuations I realised I'd overpriced it, hence the drop in price. Grab a bargain as these are excellent instruments.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Picture now added after a very laborious procedure converting it from HIEC to jpg 😒 I'm really not very good at this IT stuff.

Help! I can't seem to be able to upload pictures on my Mac.

Price drop to £250 Up for sale is this BB235. It's in excellent condition as I bought it new and it has not seen much action as I'm a confirmed 4 stringer. I bought it to help me recover from shoulder surgery and keep on playing. It did it's job perfectly and got me out of a hole but I'm back playing 4 strings now. This is the first Yamaha bass I have owned and I have to say it is extremely well made, so well that I'm looking for a BB434 (see trade option below). Collection from Leeds or meet up within a reasonable distance. TRADES - I'd be happy to trade this for a Yamaha BB434 (with cash your way) as my experience of this bass has been very positive.

I have one of these and I have to say it's a great bass. They are really well made and play beautifully. I really don't know how they do it for the price. I think I paid just under £400 for mine, new. This one is a real bargain. Whoever buys it will not regret it. Good luck with the sale.

GR Bass is great gear. I use their one 800 and a AT112 cab. Always get great compliments on the sound and the cabs are so light. the 1x12 sounds great so I can only imagine what a 2z12 would be like. GLWTS

These are great amps. I use one with a GR AT112 cab. Brilliant tones and very, very light. GLWTS.

Thanks, Rich. It's in really good condition (almost mint I would say). Good luck with your sale and thanks for the bump. Cheers Pete
