And the guys at the store are super helpful and friendly....Ive literally spent my weekends in there trying out every single pedal I wanted to demo :)

I like this new bass and guitar combo better than just two basses jamming. It is not that I didn't like when you two were jamming on basses, but I find it more interesting this way.

I feel it gives a better idea of what you can expect out of the unit- hearing it in the setting it's most likely going to be used!

Good to see Lee back on the channel. Great bassplayer and very enjoyable as a person. And a very good combination with Nathan. Keep it up guys and, please, do more bass video's :-)

Bravo chaps ... cheered me right up. Welcome back Lee! Hats off to Nathan for the surprise wah workout.

I'm not a bass player but these are my favorite bass tones you guys have had so far

Absolutely superb kit. I had a GS112 years ago, pound for pound probably the best cab I've ever used.

I have 2 GS112's and a Tone Hammer 500. It's the best setup I've had in many years. I like the scooped mids over the more forward mids the DB series have. I've never heard the SL series in person, so I can't comment on those. The SL112's sound really nice in this video, but they will probably sound different in person.

Oh wow, nice groove and chops guys! Go Lee! Nice Sire too! Cheers!

Jeez, great jams in and out!

Lee, you are one funky player-love it!

Hey guys - love the intro! It´s a pretty good example to hear Bass and Guitar in comparison !! Hang on

Fantastic intro jam. I had to go back and figure out some of those riffs.

Great to see Lee back, think he’s been ill for a month.

Welcome back Lee.

Sounds Lovely

That was just a really fun review with to bang up funny fellas who both just happen to be just absolutely crackin' musicians to boot. Really excellent review guys. Thanks. (hey bassclubchicago you guys have met your match)

Lee's chops... WICKED!!!!

And, Lee is an EXCELLENT bass player...for sure

This was a great review, thank you so much. I’m getting one of these bad boys sent to me now!

Nice job showing the comparison between the tonehammer preamp pedal and the TH500

Nice playing and review guys

Great grooving intro jam!

Nice. Looks Top Notch... Sounds Really Good. Nice Jamming

yea! lee's back! ...

Hey great bass playing there 👍

Best amp I've owned - TH500.

Lovely jam!

Lee so damn sick wit it!!!

Who’s giving this the thumbs down? Great playing and discussion.

I am looking forward to these guys trying out the new Blackstar bass amp range.

great intro

Damn Nathan can play the guitar perfectly as well? Where do all those guys get all that talent?

Bro ... Making that Sire sing! 🎶 Nice funk groove lads 😊

The drive reminded me of Tim Bogert's tone in Beck, Bogert and Appice. I believe, IIRC, his distortion came from overdriving an Acoustic 360 rig. Check out "Superstition" by BBA.

I'm looking into an Ashdown OriginAL paired with a 112 cab. Can you do a review? It would serve as a comparison too; at a cheaper price point.

Does anyone knows what mic is been used to record the bass sound from the cabinet?

Nice video, but a bit behind in the world of Aguilar. When I saw "Aguilar Bass Amps & Cabs" I expected to see the new AG700 and SL212.

Hi guys! Thanks for this increíble Review! Sorry for this maybe silly question...if I want to improve my tone but I'm in a budget situation at the moment, would it be ok to first buy the pre amp, use it with my current combo, and later get the Tone Hammer amplifier? If both have almost the same tone, would it be necessarily redundant to connect both in line? Thanks!

3:25 YES PLEASE DO THAT !

Alright. I missed All about the Bass when there was no video last friday

Great sound! Wonder which mic they used

Very Good

What differences do you guys notice between the db or the sl cabs say ith a frettless jazz bass

Lee really likes those sire basses now. dont blame him

sweet a micro scale 6 string goldtop bass

What alternative cabinet suit with the tone hammer?

Could you guys try out the Mark Bass Marcus Miller amps??

While the direct to consumer thing allows them to be inexpensive and probably keeps you guys from demoing their stuff, I’d love to see a demo like this for Barefaced Bass Cabs

Esse baixo é muito lindo

Missed a trick by not putting the Tone Hammer into the fx return of the amp to hear the similarities. Also the TH DI has a wealth of usable tones and shouldn't be thought of as a simple 'drive' pedal. There's so much more to it. It's great to see the plug and play demo's but sometimes a little more understanding of the kit might yield even more useful demo's.

Bravo to intro jam

That intro groove tho...

You guys should jam some Level 42 .....maybe ? (big fan)

Mesa Subway next!

Is the 700 as good as the 500? Same tone quality?

I am neither sponsored nor endorsed by Aguilar amplification. With that said, I use the Aguilar DB751, and it is by far the cleanest most transparent amplifier I have ever had the privilege of using. While it is definitely not a "light weight" amplifier, and 975 W at 2 ohms, 475 W at 4 ohms straightforward and simple with effects loop and send and return volumes before Master. With such a clean and transparent amplifier it allows for the natural sound of your instrument along with any added pedal and or effects It is heavy, but in my opinion it has a better upfront sound than any Ampeg or GK product hands down. I went straight past Aguilar's class D right to the big boy! Awesome. PS Love all of the "all about the bass" segments and reviews. Dig the jams! Thanks gentlemen! (correction; 750 at 4 ohms.)

Yes, they do a 115.

Please check out and review the Markbass Casa

If you'd like to see something interesting grab an Orange Micro Dark and hook your bass into that then tell me about Gain and Clean without the cost. Trust me you'll be surprised. Consider it a formal challenge :)

It’s a Spanish surname. “Ag-you-lar” is the most common. Not coming from a person of Hispanic descent, but just from a person who lives in New Mexico!

The "u" is silent. It's put in so that the "g" is pronounced like guitar rather than gist.

It's not weight, it's rigidity...and a lot of 'transportable' cabs have neither. Somewhere in between weights with a load of bracing would be ideal.

@hairychris444

6 жыл бұрын

Barefaced do it that way. Thin ply with a lot of clever internal bracing. Great cabs (IMO) but do tend to have a love it/hate it reputation. I have a 1x15 and can pick it and my GK MB800 up with 1 finger.

Is that a Sire bass ?

Need assistance. Mesa D800 vs Aguilar tone hammer 700. Into a 1x15

The amp depends on your style but I would get a 2 x 10/12 can to go with your cab. Solo 15” cabs have never had the clarity as 10” and 12” speakers

3:16 I compared my ( quite popular brand name) 410 against the Darkglass 410 and the DG had superior tone - no doubt about it.

Proper jazz bass growl there.

AHHH HELLO

Pronunciation notes: The President of Aguilar pronounces it AH-gee-lahr Most English speakers will say: AH-gwee-lahr In Spanish, the surname Aguilar is pronounced ah-gee-LAHR.

@losriosprofundos2113

I remember hearing the owner mispronounce it, putting in a bit of the silent u in there.

Speakers are not very mysterious. Take the weight and diameter of the magnet (more is good) and the weight of the cone (less is good) - then compare with the price per kg of both materials and compare it to the listed price of the cab it's in. Voilá, you have the price of the box, electronics and its assembly and the profit margin. That obviously means Aguilar think themselves a premium brand and value their logo quite a bit more than their product. Think about that before buying a cab that you'll literally ruin if you ever want to experiment with speaker swaps.

Idk. I have played many Aguilar amps and cabs. Just not for me. Kinda flat sounding. I think their pickups sound amazing but I just don’t dig their amps

It’s not “agweela”

Oh, I read "Angular heads" and clicked expecting Kryten from Red Dwarf shaped cabs...

Yeah, that was gnarly and not in a good way. It can sound good though...I get a nice overdrive out of the Tone Hammer by turning the Gain up rather than the Drive. They probably should have called Drive something else like "Character" since it messes with the EQ too. Not intuitive if these guys can't immediately get it.

Ayg-e-are

800+ bucks for a 1 x 12 is still ridiculous.
