Aguilar?

I have been gigging the snot out of my TH500. I'll have a TH350 joining it as backup/small room head and will be trying an SL112.

[RocketMusic]

Hmmmmmm.... what does Mr. Haslip play?!? And won't he need some appropriate gear here for the clinic? Hmmmmm.... what's a retailer to do?!?

[nostatic]

I dunno. In my case I like them so much I chose to endorse them

[Gard]

So, how is my buddy Dale doing these days?

Dale is doing fine! Like you, he is also depleting my building fund. B*st*rds!!

I got the low down on Jimmy Haslip's live rig. He's currently using a stereo rig consisting of two Tone Hammer 500's and two DB-410's.

I've got Tone Hammers on the way, and I've got a pair of DB-112 cabs on the way. I'll expand into more of their products once my checking account recovers from the beating I've been giving it this month.

I'm not sure I'll have a DB-410 here by the time of the clinic, but I'm sure between Roscoe, Aguilar, Rocket and Mr. Haslip... we can figure something out.

Why you callin' my man Dale ugly names? (.....me, I understand...)

Yeah, I'm sure we'll make it work, somehow!

Be interested to hear your take on the TH500. To me is kinda sits in between the Streamliner and Shuttle voicing. I find it to be more mid present, not as open up top as the Shuttle but not as wooly as the Streamliner.

The DBs are a great mid-forward cab but comparatively heavy for my wimpy back. Part of why I like the AE210s and want to try the SL112.

[RocketMusic]

Interesting. I can't wait to hear for myself.

FYI - I've got a pair of SL-112s on my next order. That'll happen within 3 weeks or so...

Ugly, did I hear my name being called?

Awesome Greg, I have had the privilege of playing Aguilar amps and cabs thanks to Nino Valenti and they sound fantastic. I have played Nino's basses (Frickin' Awesome instruments), as well as my precious Roscoes and they sound incredible.

I see a happy, long lasting relationship here.......

Greg let me know if you need me to bring my big ol' white DB810 up there for you to use. if you felt compelled to thank me with a new DB751 to try out for a year or so I wouldn't turn you down.

[VroomVroom]

Congrats, Greg.

Great products. Personally, I'm not a TH or SL fan, although the GS112 is one of those versatile cabs where anything sounds good through it, including a TH. A number of my cronies around here are brand endorsers, and they love the TH500 into a pair of GS112s...portable rig that shakes serious booty. I'm very interested in your take on the DB cabs. The DB amps....they make you think really nasty thoughts. (A DB751 into two Berg HT112ER's will induce cold sweats and smiles that cannot be wiped.) A DB751 into three GS112's....well, you've captured what makes Gary Willis smile.

Not at all to stick my nose in, but I've got to think they'd send you whatever you/Mr. Haslip would like for his clinic.

Yep, and they've said as much. My thought is just that shipping one or more 410 cabs around the coutry ain't cheap. If Jimmy needs it, we'll make it happen. If he's cool with a pair of 112s, then that's cool, too. And UPS would be none the richer. Not that I begrudge UPS their money, they certainly earn it. But why spend it if you don't have to?

Of course, that's just my depleted checking account talking. Give me a couple months of financial rebound, and I'll be calling for Aguilar to send a couple techs along with the cab(s).

I love my DB cabs. ...a little heavy, but the sound! ...very clear and even top to bottom. So far they sound great with every head, though I haven't tried an Ag amp yet. Good luck!

[Ziltoid]

I do like my GS410 for what it's worth

[RocketMusic]

One quick and easy way I like to check whether a brand has any mojo - watch the late night shows and check out what you see most nights. That's not a foolproof way to judge (some guys are just whores and will play whatever gear they can get paid to play), but it's a fairly good barometer.

I'll never forget the week we picked up both Roscoe and Gadow. I caught either Letterman or Conan one night that week, and the band had BOTH of those brands working. The bass player was playing a gorgeous Century Signature, and I knew I'd made a good move.

[Ryan L.]

The Aguilar DB750 (now the 751) is hands down my favorite bass head of all time. Nothing that I have tried punches you in the gut quite as hard as that amp does. I can get close with my Eden setup, but not quite there(the Eden is a bit more articulate, however).

My only issue with the 750 was that it could get a bit boomy on certain stages, and it was hard to dial out with the limited EQ. The EQ on the 751 is supposed to be improved, though, so that maybe would no longer be an issue.

[RocketMusic]

And so it begins. The first shipment of many! I'll try to get this stuff listed on my site sometime over the weekend.
