A lightweight Aguilar bass amp with the Tone Hammer preamp...3.8lbs 500watts!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just received this email from Glenn at Bass Specialties in Phila...
"Ciao Bassisti, well the folks have thrown me a curve ball - just got this from Dave Avenius :
Since we’ve been sending out the NAMM Specials we’ve decided to pre-announce a product that will be debuting at the show – the new Tone Hammer 500. This 3.8 lb amp will have 500 Aguilar watts of power and has the same powerful preamp section as the Tone Hammer. It’s warm, full, and sounds much bigger than it’s small size suggests!
the street price on this amp will be about $699, but pre-orders may result in a discount - let me know if you are interested!

He said, "Well, we got these new cabs so maybe there's a head coming out to go with them." Something like that anyway.... |

Jokes aside, though, I do love the Tone Hammer. I have a fairly extensive pedal board, but 95% of the time, this (and my Strobostomp tuner) is all I have between me and my Markbass. Should be a very cool amp. |

| | | | This makes a lot of sense for them. They already had the pre ready with the ToneHammer. Put it at the front of a 500 watt Ice module in a box, and you are ready to go! I bet that will be a nice box for the guys who like the Ag500 type tone (I think the Tone hammer is basically the second channel of the Ag500 if I remember correctly) and are looking for a micro solution all in one box. |

Also, just gonna quote myself here: Quote:
