    Aguilar SL 112

    Absolutely fantastic! I just bought one and it's perfect! Loud, light, and got incredible tone! If you want an old school tone though, you might have a little trouble as it's got a fairly "Hi-fi" sound. I'm playing an American Standard Jazz and a Modulus Q5 through a Markbass F1, into it!
