Just a little clarification on those tapered/exposed core strings. The Labella strings are exposed core, where the core is fully exposed on every string in the set. Sadowsky makes a tapered string set. It’s available with the 5 string set. And only the B string is tapered. The winding tapers down about 2 to 3 inches from the ball end, but doesn't expose the core completely.

Interesting, I did try Sadowsky strings, but they were not the Tapered ones..

I can't let go of the La Bella Super steps, exposed core on all strings doesn't seem to do anything but let you bend the strings to abnormal positions and play like butter and more. Faster, lighter, and more flexible! haha. ;)

I should sell the strings for them.

Thanks for the info though.

Knobs look good on this beauty.

I'm a HUGE Aguilar fan. The TH is more vintage sounding and wonderful, but I'd suggest the AG700. It'll give you everything that you want to hear from your bass, but will be warm (not sterile) and have a huge sound.

I just picked up an AG 700 from a TB'er locally. You are spot on with your description.

He had an SL410x paired with it. I've been a fan of 2x12s for a while and thought that is where I would go, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that cab sounded really really good with this head.

That's a nice amp- sounds good flat, and you'd REALLY have to try to make it sound bad. Good eq points and the magic buttons are simple and effective but don't eff up a good thing. I know some people like to mix and match, but I've found Aguilar amps go very well with Aguilar cabs (almost like they were designed that way:D ).

Congrats! I'm totally impressed with the sound of the AG700. By far my favorite Class D head!
I A/B'd it with the Berg Forte and Mesa D800 (both great heads) and the Aguilar won out.

I'm thinking seriously about not going through with the Buckeye Roscoe I started that should be finished in 4-5 weeks. I would be willing to lose quite a bit of money if someone would be interested in taking it over. It is a $3800 build and has everything the Customs has except the carving and Bridge. This will be a SKB3005 Standard Plus.

Exhibition Buckeye Burl Top and Matching headstock- $800 upcharge
Bass and headstock will have Full Gloss finish--$300 upcharge
Mahogany Body
Maple Wenge Maple neck- Upcharge
Diamond wood Nut-$75 upcharge
Quad Bart Electronics-$100 extra
Deluxe Roscoe Gigbag

I would be willing to let it go for $3250 shipped to the buyer that's interested. I love the top better than my used Roscoe but it would be hard to find one that plays and sounds better. Plus It's not moving like I'd hoped. If anyone is interested in a killer build that should be finished rather quickly message me and lets talk.

Yeah. I'm sure it'll be a great bass when completed but if you KNOW that your current LG is a great bass .... why risk it?

So glad you dig it. Definitely my favorite light weight amp. My favorite heavy amp is the DB750/751... Aguilar is the best. :)

Details... :greedy::greedy:


On a semi-related note: does anyone know how big of a ring you have you buy your wife and where you have to take her on vacation to if one were to say, I don't know, "accidentally" buy a new speaker cabinet or two?


Also: how much debt is too much?

Asking for a friend... ;)
