Roland DB700 Bass Combo 15" Speaker + Horn - Back Up For Sale

[jembullo]

For Sale my trusty Roland DB700 £250 firm, no more no less.

3 band EQ with semi parametric mid range, adjustable compression, chorus

3 digital amp model types - solid state, valve and overdriven, with volume and gain settings.

Where are you based? I'm thinking this might be a solution for me.

Other than that i 'm sure we could come to some arrangement. Let me know.

Weekend Bump

[Rayman]

My little DB500 was utterly outstanding, I still miss it, this being another rung up the ladder must be brilliant. Superb amps.

[jembullo]

Damn right Rayman...this bass amp is absolutely amazing for such a portable unit....i have 2 rigs..and this one has to go...although I know i probably will live to regret it. It really lets you hear your bass tone, hardly any colouration.

Ironically I picked up a Roland DB700 for this price just 2 wks ago (& about a day before joining this forum!). I paid £250 too and I'd just like to say that this is an amazing combo for the money. Weren't these about £700 new? A great amp. No affiliation with the seller here but I thought I'd pipe up as someone could get a real bargain here

Thanks buddy, damn shame you didn't see mine before you bought yours,still you are right, a bargain ready to be had here.

I read this is a digital amp? How exactly does it work? Also, do you have the footswitch?

Works like a normal bass combo, except the circuitry is digital as opposed to analogue. Means that you can have some great modelled valve,solid state, or overdriven bass sounds. Has a nice compression and chorus and has 2 memory slots to store your sounds. I don't have a footswitch but youcan buy cheap ones from maplin that do the same as the roland ones.
This amp seems way louder than 250w thanks to the FFP circuit.

Ah I see, so would I be right in thinking it's like my guitarists Line6 amp where he can toggle through ready-set tones he's named and saved?
Also, could I see more pictures? How big it is, the condition etc. and honestly, how hard is it to move about? I'm looking for something pretty lightweight, not sure if this is my answer, but with the castors does it move easy enough?

Yes similar concept to the Line6 but of course its dedicated to bass so not so many amp models and fancy effects. Unfortunately I'm away from my normal computer and home this week so getting photos might be tricky I'll see what I can do. If you look at the very first posting in this topic you will see I've put the dimensions on there with a link to the actual Roland site. To be honest moving this thing around is a breeze, it is very compact and has side handles and a top handle for lifting and the castors do make it really easy to push about....much better than my ashdown cab!!! You can even pop the back wheels off to tilt the amp for optimum sound delivery !The amp is in excellent condition and for £250 its a steal.

I have somebody who contacted me a week ago who definitely wants this amp, problem is we are both on holiday for another week. If he decides against it in the meantime , I'll give you a shout.
