Aguilar ships the DB 285 JC bass cabinet
Named for legendary Jefferson Airplane bassist
As a member of both Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Jack Casady has influenced bassists for five decades. And now he's got his own bass cabinet from Aguilar Amplification.
Casady helped design the DB 285 JC (nicknamed the "Little Jack") as he was intent on producing a portable cabinet that would reproduce the dynamics and articulation in his playing - the deep bass, accurate midrange, and smooth treble.
Specs include:
Speaker compliment: Two 8-inch cast frame woofers, one 6.5-inch midrange driver
Power handling: 300 watts RMS
Impedance: four ohms
Frequency response: 40 Hz - 5 kHz
Sensitivity: 95 dB 1W 1M
Dimensions: 24 x 11.5 x 14.5 inches
Weight: 50 lbs.
Optional: Padded Cabinet Cover
Looks pretty snazzy, we must admit. For more information, such as pricing, visit the official Aguilar Amplification website.
