Ghost_Bass Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1360012797' post='1963648'] Is anyone aware of a decent bag for these? As in, a bag you take the head out of, rather than a rack bag? I'm guessing the Aggie one is no longer made... [/quote] If you find one can you please post a link over here? I'm also looking for a bag for my TF that's about the same size as the AG500. From my searches i only found two suitable, the AG500 bag (that seems to be discontinued) and the Eden WT-800 bag (that's a bit pricey and has to be sent in from the US).

pietruszka Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just my thoughts on this as I own one. Firstly, it was great to meet you Michael at the bass bash (ear blood letting event!). We briefly spoke about the head there during packing up. I love my AG500 SC, I didn't go for the dual channel for the same reason Molan states. It's a dreadful distortion sound, and besides I have a great distortion pedal. I use my 500SC for every bit of music I play, everything from pop, rock, funk and soul to dance, disco, ska and country. I only tweak the EQ when the room sounds 'boomy'. Other wise, when DI'd, it's never touched and it sounds great. Sound engineers love the signal from it, I recently had a sound man ask me to use it rather than the onstage rig! I use it with the MarkBass 102P (8ohms) and it has always been more than loud enough, I've used it at the Think Tank, The Cluny and Cluny 2 and never had any issues with regards to hearing myself. I run it with the 1x8 ohm cab so the head is running at 250watts. To some up, it's the best head I've ever owned, it sounds great live and recorded. You've heard the recordings Chloe & The High Tides have done and that was with this head. I can't see myself using another head, and I hope not as they're discontinued. And as we've all seen, discontinued Aguilar heads quickly gain demand. I managed to get the proper padded bag for it off here, though you may struggle but they can always be rack mounted. If you want, give me a shout and I can pop over to yours, or you're welcome to mine to play around with the head. Hope this helps.

wateroftyne Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Thanks for the offer, Dan... much appreciated! Ghost_bass - if my calculations are correct, [url="http://www.odysseygear.com/odyssey-products/brldigital.html"]this should be a decent fit[/url]. Check first, though! I have an Odyssey bag for my Walkabout, and they're great. Very protective, but light. Having said that, I don't know where you would get one in the UK.

pietruszka Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 A quick search shows GuitarGuitar have a couple left in stock, but they are a whopping £799. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ha.. Sorry about that. Amp isn't here yet - I'll post when it lands. I'll be hanging on to my Walkabout for a bit just in case... As for the videos... I don't really bother any more. I can't record them well enough and my playing sucks. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you feel pressure to start slapping all over the shop when making a video for youtube but you don't have too! I've found both your and kjung of talk bass's videos really helpfull (before he took all his down) - yes you can't hear exactly what things sound like - but you can hear differences between things!

wateroftyne Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Quick update on the case situation.... I've bought a [url="http://www.magma-bags.com/produkte/digi-control-bag-L/digi-control-bag-L-2.php3"]Magma Digi Control Bag L[/url], and it's spot-on. The head fits perfectly, it's light, very well made, strong, and there's lots of room for other stuff. It's big, and not cheap, but worth it if you don't want to go down the rackmount route.
