Please Aguilar ... Make a Combo.

[pickups]

I'm simply trying to put this out in the universe. I hope one day in the near future Aguilar makes a lightweight 112 combo. Maybe combine the SL 112 with the ToneHammer and/or with the AG700. I realize the SL series and the TH/AG series are super lightweight and portable. However, having a combo is easier to carry to gigs, easier to setup in a hurry, less stuff to bring and it's easier to setup/tear down your rig in a hurry. It's also easier to tilt the amp back and/or put up high to be able to hear it better. I've been gigging on bass for almost 30 years and Aguilar is hands down my favorite amp/cab company ever! I know, if Aguilar makes a combo it will sound just as good as the heads and cabinets do. Plenty of other company's that make combos that I'm sure are fine, but Aguilar builds quality amps and cabs. I don't worry with Aguilar gear like I've had to with other brands. So, in the words of Harvey Keitel(basically) " pretty please ... with sugar on top. Build a bass combo."

Years ago they did with the GS112 and AG 500. Made sense to me and now more so as both amps and cabs are remarkably lighter.
I'd be onboard for a SL112/AG700 combo.
I didn't care for the Tonehamner but it would make sense to be able to choose the amp you like with the combo.

Thanks for reminding of the GS112/AG500. I bet it was heavy.

You can do it for a few dollars and 4 easy steps.

1. Get a ratchet strap.
2. Place your head on your cab.
3. Wrap strap around head and cab.
4. Tighten to secure.

Well, as I recall, the whole package was appx. 55 lbs. Not terrible for it's time but stout compared to today's offerings.

Wow! I had one and sold it, regrettably. I paired it up with my GS-112 and it cranked!
Man,...what was I thinking.???

I think they also made a combo with the AG-500SC, for those who wanted only one channel.

I believe he's the "Q" in QSC....

Don't think it will happen.

I wouldn't be interested in a heavy combo. I just think with the Aguilar SL112 being around 20-25lb and the TH/AG heads being only 4 lbs would make the perfect lightweight and awesome sounding combo.

Don't think it will happen.

yeah. I emailed them a while back and they seemed to think the lightweight cabs and amps were enough. It's just different to me with a lightweight combo.

Listening to the Quilter demo it sounds pretty good. A little heavier than what I'd like but it may be the best option right now.

Now - Aguilar is a lightweight amp and cab, but when combo it will not be lightweight, so i don't think about it. You can make a custom combo Yourself.

They should do a bracket like on the Genzler combo. In fact, it wouldn't be hard to make one.

They probably thought about it then wondered if folks would shell out $1500 for a combo. haha

I'm an old guy. I want plug n play.

Shouldn't be more than about 30 lbs +/-
