Aguilar Introduces the 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.

Reusing the old washing machine / SWR Workingman's combo form factor is the bass amp equivalent of the return of JNCO jeans.

Weight?

 

[Jhalb]

Don’t care for the design. Might be a good amp. Sorry

Right? I'm not a fan of the Tone Hammer, but even if I were...

 

[BioDriver]

Glad I bought something else.

I love it, except....

1. Why don't they list the weight on their website?
2. I don't mind the look, but I would be a bit worried about the knobs during load in/out. Why not provide a little protection.
3. Just feels a little expensive for a 300 watt combo that's made overseas.

Like if it's not absurdly heavy, the knobs were a bit stubbier, and it was a couple hundred less I'd be seriously considering it.

Love the design.

Not sure why it's 300W. Why not chuck the 500 in there.

I do hope this means they release a 300W V2 head though!

maybe it looks a little good-ball, but i dig the idea. Useful connections on the back panel. I'd use this in a situation where I didn't have to move the amp much - theater pit, church, at-home rehearsal space, etc.

And I LOVE the previous comment about JNCO jeans....

I agree. They're too exposed for moving around too much. Maybe it needs a good slip-cover?

I feel like it should be a tilt-back design with rear wheels. I am surprised it doesn't have that...

Yeah I really don't understand that. Seems like a no brainer, and would fit with the form factor.

Picking this thing up looks unwieldy to say the least.

Doesn't appear to have an external speaker jack so I'd assume all 300 watts are going to the internal speakers which are not neos. It'll be loud but I would like to know the weight.

 

[RGerhart]

To me, this seems most useful in a rehearsal studio or something. Having this in a dedicated spot could be nice.

However, you could easily piece together a rig like this on the used market for far less.

I said this in another thread but it’s so ugly that I actually really like it.

Small square combos are often regarded as crap and this sets it apart.

 

[SJan3]

Stiff competition. The MarkBass is 34.17 lbs with neos and 500 @4 ohms.

I still have my JNCO jeans. They weigh 7lbs and, surprisingly, are worth about $500 on Ebay. There really is no way to predict this crap

 

[SC Bassboy]

An amplifier manufacturer designs a new amp with a built-in beer shelf and you guys start shaming them. Seriously, we are better than this.

I like the design as well. It has a bit of a retro look to it. Ugly in a good way, sort of like wide frame hipster glasses circa 2010. Also, any combo with forward facing controls beats the usual setup these days, with the dials facing towards the ceiling way in the back. So much will depend on the weight in the end though. Not much point in a combo that weighs 55 lbs these days.
