Pretty new colors from Aguilar

#41
My guitar player got an Orange, and I got jealous.

At least my MarkBass cabs have a little accent color, and the Purple cab will likely only be used outdoors.

I did a little research on painting tolex but the responses were mixed. I think with proper prep, it can be done. :)

Best color for Metal is the Red Head and White Cab or black cab if you want to be predictable and boring. Personally Id go for the Gold head and the British racing green cab. I think the Green head is too teal and doesn't match the cab as well as the other colors. I have no experience with Aguilar though so just based on what looks cool I think I'm ok.

Yea. I love all the blues and greens (8 of my basses are some shade of blue/green, haha!) but agree that this green doesn't seem like a good fit with the blue cabs and vice versa. However, for my uses I'm not going to buy any of the new cabs, and will only use one amp at a time. Either the blue or green will look great with my black Subways and black/silvery-gray GK cabs.

Of course, once you flick on an Aggie head those blue LEDs are so dang bright that it basically blinds everyone from seeing what the amp looks like anyway, haha!

School me on the difference between the Tone Hammer and the AG. I've only been playing a year or so now and don't have alot of experience with different amps. I'm into vintage sounds and in my limited experience I throughly enjoy my Ampeg. I've been collecting basses now I'm thinking my next big purchase will be a bigger amp. Definitely interested in these. Thanks

Good question! Rather than re-inventing this wheel of discussion, I'll point you to this thread with lots of great opinions and experience on the two amps. :)

If you go with a color that's not dark, consider Tuki style soft covers or road cases.

I've played with a lot of colored amps on stage, including beige, white, silver, and red Marshalls, and some can get pretty ugly fast gigging..

Hey bro!
May you please upload some pics about your light colored cabs? I have the SL 112 ivory color and recently I discovered some stains in the tolex but it never have been gigged outside my home. I think it was produced from the inner wood. What can I do to fight those ugly stains? Please some ideas….

I don't have any currently. I've had plenty of bandmates who had lighter colored Tolex, mostly on Marshalls, that ended up pretty ratty looking if not in covers or or cases during transport.

I suggest you contact Aguilar about your issue.
