Aguilar Tone Hammer 2x10 combo!

Aguilar listened to working bassists asking for a combo, I guess:

New Gear: Aguilar Tone Hammer 210 Combo

Aguilar has announced the Tone Hammer 210 Combo, a compact bass combo amplifier designed to deliver the sound, feel, and performance of a full Aguilar rig in situations where space is limited but tone and reliability remain essential.

Digging the SWR Woringman-esque cabinet shape (with the head/controls set back a bit from the front edge of the cabinet).

I still want to know what Aguilar was thinking in a world where Markbass, Fender, Ampeg, and GK are producing compact, lightweight 210 combos. This was certainly a choice but makes me glad I went with something else

 

[Ender_rpm]

the design is.... Im good

 

[Sid the Kid]

I like that it doesn’t just look like everything else. I get B15 vibes from the styling. These will look great on stage, and the slim and tall profile is always welcome there.

 

[Timmah]

Yeahhhh. Love the idea and the ceramic drivers, but it’s kind of ugly, which I didn’t expect from Aguilar, and the lack of an extension speaker out makes it a non-starter for me.

The only problem I have with it is that its bump for the head makes packing the car up difficult. Cubes just pack better. But it’s retro vibe is cool to me.

Given the limited, fixed-in-place situations the combo is intended to be used in, the design makes a lot of sense to me. I just don't know if Aguilar can ship enough of them to cover the development, certification, documentation (and so on) costs. I wish them success.

This screams "rich boomer looking for furniture to put in his living room or basement".

I love everything about it except it doesn’t have a tilt back wheel design. It honestly kills the entire design for me. It looks like a pain to move around, especially with ceramic driver weight.

 

[Element Zero]

Of all the current bass combos available on the market, it’s certainly one of ‘em.

 

[thisheregiraffe]

It’s a matter of personal taste, but I think it looks very cool. It would look and sound great in my living room Add it to the list of cool things I don’t actually need, can’t afford, and won’t ever buy (I would consider it at a heavy discount…)

Can anyone find any information on what "Eco Mode" does?

I can't deny the appeal but it makes me want to hear "Happy Organ" at a roller rink!

Not positive but likely similar to what emissions laws did for auto performance in the 70s.

I like it, MYC subway ready.

My bet is 1/2 power

I found the design a bit odd so I went to the Aguilar (Korg) booth at NAMM to pick it up and it does indeed tip instead of lifting straight up and then sets down front edge first. It was plugged it and I doubt the reps would have let me unplug and walk around with it but just picking it up and putting it back down was awkward. Maybe going up a flight of strairs wouldn't be an issue but

Edit: I should add that I actually like the look of it and as a 6'4" guy I like that the panel is tilted and I don't have to bend over to read the labels.

Nah, they couldn't get a reliable stock of catalytic converters so instead it turns itself off whenever you come to full stop and then turns back on when the next song begins
