Tone Hammer 500 : Great Bass Amp

This Aguilar is lightweight highly reliable and great sounding class D bass amp. an ideal bass head that helps me dial in sounds from old vintage bass amps, clean and the tube driven sound, as well as having a distinct tone especially when boosting the mids and playing blues or jazz styles.

i believe this should be a staple in a bass players arsenal.

This is one of three bass amps i own and this gets the leading role when playing small venues and bar gigs.

its punchy and has grunt at the same time.

I have been running recently with an 8 ohm cabinet and that limits the output to around 200 watts.

I would have wanted the amp to be equipped with a switch so that it can run full power with both 4 ohms and 8 ohms cabinets.

I do not find the drive knob musically useful beyond 9 o'clock it just becomes a muddy distortion.
