Fleabay85 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) The Aguilar DB 359 is a 2-rack space powerhouse of fat, warm bass tone. The solid steel chassis means this amp will be on the road with you for a long time. The DB 359's preamp design employs the same tube gain stages as the world famous DB 680. Also, the DB 728 amp design was used in the power section of the head. These features combined with Aguilar's reputation for quality in design and manufacture make the DB 359 Bass Head an important milestone in bass amplification. Power Output: 200 watts @ 2, 4, or 8 ohms. 2 ohms requires a simple modification. Preamp Section: Two 12AX7's and one 12AU7 Power Section: Four 6550Cs and two toroidal transformers Transformers: Custom designed toroidal output transformer for ultra-wide bandwidth. Power transformer is also toroidal. Equalization: Tube-driven shelving type treble ( / - 12dB @4kHz), mid ( / - 12dB @ 400Hz), and bass ( / - 12dB @ 40Hz) controls. Effects Loop: Send pot is push/pull for line or instrument level; return pot is push/pull for parallel or series operation. Inputs: One passive and one active input jack. Outputs: Two 1/4" speaker output jacks and one Jenson XLR balanced output (-32dB pre- and post-EQ) with a ground lift switch. Cooling: High quality whisper fan. Power Requirement: 100, 120, 230 VAC 50 - 60 Hz Dimensions: 17 1/8" deep. Rack Size: Two spaces [size=3]Price: 1500 GBP[/size] (it isn't cheap but the new price of this baby was 3500euro) I'm intrested maybe in trade...just send me an offer.

lozbass Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Absolutely lovely and very few of these around - well outside my price range I'm afraid. Great tone and enough power for smaller gigs without PA support - competes on tone with a 750 or 751 (but maybe not on power/price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Can I ask what the difference is between one of these and the DB750/751 - obviously those two are lower priced so I'm guessing there's something in the power section of the 359 that makes it more expensive?.
