NAD Aguilar AG700

[lewis1964]

IV been waiting 9 days, but finally mentioned received AG700.
1st impressions are really positive.
The amp has elegant, classic looks.
It's lightweight, the pots have a quality"feel".
Plugged in my bass (Gibson DC tribute) all 4 tone controls 12 , Hi/Lo both disengaged, master vol at 12... and slowly bring up gain..
Gain ti 12 , it's way too loud , but just what I was looking for. Warm, but articulate. I wind master back , push gain to 1 , sound flattens , but still very defined.
I engaged Hi/Lo , mild but noticeable smiley face EQ.
Pulled lo mid down to 9 and bass to 11, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a Ampegy tone.
I will b playing a show tomorrow night, we get a sound check , so I will play around a bit "at volume ". Really looking forward comparison with Microtubes 500 IV been using for last few months...
To Be Continued..

I love my ag700, absolutely perfect amp, I use it with my two pedal boards, one for modern sounds, and one for old school. On the old school board I have the tone hammer pre amp and plug it through the FX loop so it cuts out the ag pre amp

That little Gibson you got sounds great through that head. I use to run the same.

Congratulations on the new gear!
