Aguilar price increase

[denton57]

Forgive me if this was already posted, but did anyone notice that some Aguilar products went up pretty substantially in the past day or two? I had a blemished db210 in my MF cart and was possibly going to pick it up when my store credit is clear here in a couple weeks. Noticed it went up like $130 overnight! Then checked the DB751, which was $2699. It is now $3499 I believe! Looks like all their cabs went up $150+ basically over night. I just bought a DB410 a couple weeks ago and felt like I paid way too much. Now it’s $200 higher!

Anyway, another reason to buy used.

The Tonehammer 350 is now $769. Was $649. Pretty big jump!

Yes, I noticed across the line they went from $30 to $200 on their cabinets.Guess I’m rethinking the sale of my DB 112s.I thought since the big P word was over, things would settle by now but I guess that’s not the case.Hard to believe it’s still supply and demand after three years but who knows.

Retail prices aren't going down. How often do businesses lower prices outside of a 'sale' voluntarily?

Are their amps and cabs still made in NYC?

 

[yonkrz]

Cabinets were always made at a builder in Ohio, not sure if that changed after Korgs acquisition or not, I would hope they kept them as the builder. I don’t think the New York office is still being used, as far as the amps go.

Ampeg prices just similarly jumped too I noticed.

I suspect the market for those amps has shrunken a little bit. They have been on the market for years now and everyone who wants one probably has one. That's, plus the general increased in parts costs are good reasons to raise prices - especially if a sale is coming.

After the most recent price increase on Mesa gear a few months back, I figured the rest of the manufacturers would follow.

Korg stuff also increase their price tag. The Pa1000 has higher price than Yamaha PSR SX900.

Such is the world we live in.

 

[Chris Chong]

Yes. Price increased. Buy when you can afford one.

I'll never be free from GAS, but I'll never be free from cheapassedness, either.

These conversations just make me appreciate having what I already have.

I saw one at Amazon for $649 the other day.

Grab it, if you're in the market.

After they re-stock you’ll see the increase.

They always sound amazing when I watch YouTube videos. I tried it before but it wasn’t for me.

I felt that way initially so I sold my Tonehammer 500. Then I did additional reading on how the amp works (feeling that I was missing something), and bought the Tonehammer 350 this time around.
I love it! It's a matter of understanding how the Tonehammer's GAIN and DRIVE controls interact. In addition, I prefer the size of the 350 and the fan is quieter too.
