Aguilar Review: DB659

Aguilar Bass Guitar Amplifiers

History:

Purchase: Paid $600 @ AppleRowMusic

What I Like About This Aguilar DB659: TONE...TONE...TONE...OMG! This unit is the most natural, smoooth and buttery sounding preamp I've ever heard. Using this with a couple of Spector basses for recording in my own computer-based project studio, and it sounds simply incredible. I even have found that with superb natural sound that it offers that I can step down the level of compression/limiting that I use when I record. VERY quiet as well, a dream to record with

What I Do NOT Like About The Aguilar DB659: I know that this is a high-end piece of gear...but I would love to see a headphone jack on it...Can you imagine how good it would sound?

Aguilar DB659 Quality Rating: Aguilar's construction is unmatched in the quality of the materials that they use. It is also nice to have this in a single rack space unit.

Review Summary: I had originally planned on buying the Aguilar tube DI box (DB 900). Happened upon this by accident almost, was blown away by the price, thank god i bought it!

Rating of this Aguilar product: 5
