Brand new in the box Aguilar DB 285 JC.
Limited edition cab currently unavailable.

[color=#262626][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]From the press note:[/font][/color]
[i][color=#262626][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Aguilar Amplification has announced that their new DB 285 JC cabinet is now shipping. The DB 285 JC was designed with legendary Hot Tuna/Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady, who was looking for a portable cabinet that would reproduce the dynamics and articulation in his playing. Aguilar CEO Dave Boonshoft worked closely with Jack to get just the right blend of deep bass, accurate midrange, and smooth treble. The result of their collaboration is the "Little Jack" -- a cabinet that is perfect for any bassist who wants big studio quality sound in a package that is easy to get around.[/font][/color]
[color=#262626][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The powerful cabinet handles 300 watts RMS into 4 ohms and houses two 8" cast frame woofers and one 6.5" midrange driver for a full range of tones. With a wide frequency response and a sensitivity rating of 95 dB 1W 1m, the DB 285 JC is designed to pick up subtle nuances in your playing style."[/font][/color][/i]

It's still sealed in the box, but if you need some pictures no problem in opening to do that. Like this but in Monster Green finish:

I will throw this little wonder with the Aguilar padded cover (£135 value) in brand new condition with tags.

Price paid for the cabinet + the cover: £935.
I would like to recover for both [s]£[/s][s]550[/s] [b]£540 + shipping[/b] (about £65 - £70 to any European country) [b][u]for a straight sale[/u][/b].
We are talking of a boxed cab with the intact 10 years warranty remaining.

Open to trades adjusting cash either way but not with this very low sale valuation in that chance.
I'm specially interested in a 80's/90's Stingray, American or Japanese JB or P-basses, Gibson or maybe [size=4]other classic 4 strings basses.[/size]
[size=4]Just let me know what you have through PM:[/size]

Don't let the fact I'm in other country put you off, I have purchased and sold many gear in this forum. Check my excellent feedback for your peace of mind.
Cheers

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi there mate,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have another one in a different finish that I use every day. This one is boxed and unplayed so they work in 4 Ohm and I can't go to 2 Ohm in my amps using a couple of them.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a great sounding cabinet, very easy to handle, classic, warm and with a good amount of bass for the size, a great presence in mids and very organic and natural highs. It has a regulable tweeter too.[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For sure it's not a DB/GS 410 in term of pressure (neither in weight and portability [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]luckily[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]), but for small/medium gigs I absolutely love it. I hear every detail of my playing with that cab and despite the small size sounds very loud thanks to the 4 Ohm resistance.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Very nice cabs and very rare in Europe too, more in this great colour.[/font][/color]

Its a shane there is so little info on these in terms of how they sound (I mean you tube vids etc.) I too like the idea of it paired with a mini head or on top of my 115! but I've too much gear needing to sell off before I consider new stuff!

If you do locate a sound clip or fancy doing one I for one would be all ears ;)

Hi Krispn,
Yes, hard to find a sound clip so It's a limited edition cab and not many bass players owns one. It's a 50lbs cabinet, so you can imagine his strong construction and internal design despite the small size. The sound is really huge with my Markbass Momark and the Aguilar AG500, I would describe it (you know I use another one as stated) as focused, tight and very well balanced in all the tonal range, it is a DB series so has a more presence in mids to cut in the mix.
Interesting what you said about putting on top of a 115, but be in mind this cab is 4 Ohm load, so your amp has to work on 2 Ohm paired with another 4 Ohm cab.
This is the only reason this one for sale is still boxed and unused, I would love the idea of a set-up with a couple of these at stage, but I can't and anyway I didn't need it so far .
This DB285 works absolutely great alone, trust me. ;)

Yeah see the 4ohm load bit so maybe not on top of the 15 after all - still would make a nice addition to any rig and I think my TTE500 would just about fit on it with the cab upright :)
If I could I'd have it but one in one out rule needs to be used as I've now got three heads!!!

Good description by the way thank you!

Good luck!
