Thank you. I really appreciate it! Thank you for watching and I’m glad it helped!

Thank you my man! I really appreciate it! They must be the right ones as I’ve still got them all!

Hey Daniel. Which when do you like the best ? I own the tonehammer and hesitate to pick up a AG700 !

Nate I can’t pick a favorite but when we were working steadily I used the AG more than the TH... The boost features on that head work well for me.. they’re both excellent

@@bflathead cheers ! I might try the DB 751 soon too...

Nate ..You can’t go wrong with their gear. Enjoy.

Hey Daniel! Considering this exact setup. Any concerns about overdriving the 2x12 with the 700?

There are very few gigs that a 2 1x12 wouldn’t handle, which is why it’s my rig of choice. Highly modular, and plenty of output. It’s the way to go as a bassist nowadays in my view! T

The 751 is an absolute beast in every aspect! 💪🏻

Bones thank you for the kind words and support! Totally agree with everything you’ve said there. You can’t go wrong with either to be honest! T

Interesting stuff indeed! I really like what I’ve heard from Fender Bassman amps in the past - and that was the amp I was tempted to go for, but the Aguilar won over in the end, mostly because I could get some high quality, lightweight cabinets that matched. If Fender had an equivalent 12 to the SL112 I probably would have gone for the Bassman. However, I’m incredibly happy with this setup and I haven’t had any wants for a different amp since. I’ll definitely checkout Accugroove when I get the chance, I’ve heard good things but they’re very rare over here! T

I’m ashamed to say I’ve never actually used it - I will definitely give it a go! Thanks for the tip! T

You’re getting a lot with the TH! There’s something to be said for the unrelenting nature of the 751, but it’s probably not needed a lot of the time! T

Sounds great Doug! I think it’s hard to go wrong with a TH500 and 112 If you’re at all into those more vintage “orientated” sounds. Such a great modular setup to make it manageable for the body too! Will try the mids in that position if I need more of that classic Ampeg cut! T

@@TylerSpicer BTW, a tip for your viewers. When I set the tone rather pronounced on the bass tone, for blues band, the head starts to walk off the cab, so I put the extra pads that come w/ the gig aguilar bag (for th 350 vs th500) under the head to solve that problem. I almost went w/ the fender rumble 700 based on your review, nice amp, but the Agi did me in. I wish they included stuff like fender.

I have one, only when you are playing in a situation where you need increased volume. That being said it has a lot more headroom vs other amps in this category

Thank you! The P Bass has old D’addario Chromes 110-50 (I think!)

No problem at all! Yes, it’s the 59/62 hybrid pickup from the custom shop which came stock with the bass. The strings are D’Addario Chromes that are 5 years old and heavy gauge. Let me know if you need to know more! T

Definitely an incredibly lush sounding amp 👌🏻

Hey Warren! I happen to really love the Aguilar sound, and I like the blend of modern top end and slightly more vintage midrange from the sl112s. The barefaced 12s are very clean at can take massive wattage, but don’t really impart their own sound, which can be both good and bad. The BF10s sound very good, but they’re pretty much Ampeg vibe speakers which isn’t always that versatile. I’m really happy with the Aguilars as it stands and do get that “that’s my sound” feeling with them. Also their availability is really important to me with travelling and touring. I played a show in NYC last week and they were there ready and waiting. I also visited the Sadowsky workshop and showroom and they also had the same rig there. It’s just nice to have “my sound” all over the world - Barefaced just aren’t big enough to distribute like that. T

No worries! Thank you for watching! You could get some pre-amp fur from the front end if you cracked the gain and hit it with a hot signal, but won’t be that satisfying Ampeg breakup. Definitely more on the warm & clean side of things when it comes to tone! T

Thank you for the support! It’s a difficult line to tread haha. Some people want to hear as close a comparison as possible, whilst others on YT want to hear the best sounds each amp can make. I decided to keep these two as similar as possible in the comparison section just so it was a direct head-to-head, as a lot of people online want to replace their DB751 but get a similar sound, in a lighter package. This video is primarily aimed to answer that question, and see what you might sacrifice. I may review the amps independently too, in which case I would definitely use the full extent of the drive on the TH etc. Again thank you for watching and supporting the video! T

@@TylerSpicer Thank you! What would be really great sometime would be a really careful exploration of the interaction among the gain, drive, and midrange settings on the TH. As I'm sure you know, the user manual proudly announces that they all interact but then makes a point of not saying much about how. I believe it also says that the drive "surrounds" the midrange, whatever that's supposed to mean in in practice. ;-) After over a year of experimentation I've mostly figured out gain/drive, but exactly how they combine with midrange boost/cut is on my to do list. Thanks again!

That’s a great idea for a video! Thank you, I’ll add it to my list of ideas. Very much appreciated and I’ll have to dive into it and get exploring their interaction further. T

It really depends on what you’re after sound wise. The SL112 has been around for a long time and released alongside the TH500, so that’s really the original sound envisaged for the TH range to my mind! T

Further to that, the DBS are thick sounding, a bit more old school in the midrange. They sound great, but the weight outweighs the tone for gigging, for me! The SLs are a bit more balanced and less strongly coloured than the DBs. More neutral really! T

@@TylerSpicer Thank you brother. I appreciate your reply. I will go with a SL1 12 or 2 12. I just don't want it to sound thin. I think I want the DB751 sound but have the TH500 budNo? Lol. Would adding the 15 speaker help or no?

I carry a sl 1x15 and a sl. 2x10

I think you’ll be happy with it as it is - it’s a really great tone if it’s the kind of sound you want! I would recommend exploring all of its options before you do anything else, it really is a modern legend in bass amplification imo. T

@@TylerSpicer Thanks, Tyler. They said it will ship Monday...can't wait to get it. All of your post very informative and we'll thought out. Thanks for doing them!

@@limegreenthecolor no problem at all! Really happy to help! T

@@TylerSpicerMine came in today, and you're right, it's perfect right out of the box. I finally found the tone I've been looking for! I just put my bass down a few minutes ago 11PM CST US time! Thanks again!

@@limegreenthecolor Amazing! It’s really the king of modern bass amps, if you like its tone! Enjoy it! 💪🏻 T

That’s for sending signal to the front of house PA system. Thank you for watching! T

@@TylerSpicer thank you! I love your videos! They are my go to for gear research info. Great, unbiased and non-flashy reviews. Keep it up!

It spins up after a while, but not enough to really irritate me when playing. It does get annoying if left on when you’re not playing though, I would agree on that! T

Tyler Spicer thanks Tyler, you are always so honest 👍🏼

I’ve gotta say… Once you turn them both up on a gig, there’s only one winner. The TH700 probably helps a little but, so much warmth and fatness in person!

V4B was one of the amps I considered! Aggie’s slightly “smoother” sound worked for me.

I tried one. GREAT tone, but I went w/ the th500. The ampeg I tried had too much buzzing BG noise.

V-4B with an SVT 212 AV cab is THE best amp I've ever heard. People think it's super-overdriven but it doesn't have to be. And it's plenty loud. Personally, I'm all tube or nothing these days. If I did have to do a solid state, I'd go with something compact like the Tone Hammer.

Is ampeg meant to sound destorted every rig I have played live on stage sound muffled and farty . Is that the ampeg sound?

Fender Man similar but not quite. It’s a 59 NOS Custom Shop Precision. 59 oval neck profile, whereas the Pino has a 62 profile. Different pickup also! T

@@TylerSpicer I like that soft bass sound you have...not into the high percussion sounds alot of people like.Would the pino get me there? You know what your talking about so any advice would be very helpful.

Thank you for the kind words! It’s the strings that will get you there primarily, as well as how you’re striking them. Someone asked me to demo a bass for them at a store the other day and they were shocked at how bassy and warm it sounded - that’s just my hands and the way I play. However the strings are old D’addario chromes (5years+ I’ve moved them around different basses) and they really soften the percussive element to a more kick drum like thud. The Aguilar amps do play a part in that smooth sound too, the DB and TH are a little smoother in the hi-mids which is an area I’m always cutting slightly (between 750hz-1000hz) in order to reduce some of that percussiveness too. I’m always boosting a little bass too. Say 1o’clock, on the amp. Finally when it comes to the bass (which I think is actually the least significant in this one instance, compared to strings) id say there are two elements to the smoothness. The rosewood fingerboard no doubt, it really does make a difference, and the pickup. The pickup is not a hot wound pickup, it has medium/low output and that makes a huge difference to the attack if the sound. With a hot pickup you’ll get a load of attack but not as much nuance to the overall sound. That was the defining factor in me choosing the 59 CS over just a 60s American Original. Hope that’s helping so far - let me know if you want more info! T

@@TylerSpicer I doubt fender still make that bass now.......I am trying to figure out the closet bass that has the sound of yours.....

I’m pretty sure they will still build it, being that it’s a custom shop model. Where are you based?

It would be better to have it fixed, but I suppose they view it as unnecessary as they’re gigging tools and in a gigging context, you’re never going to hear that fan! My DB751 was nodded by the previous owner with Noctua fans, but it’s still noisy - which shocked me as I thought they were the quietest fans in the biz!

I’ll take the DB everytime I need the horsepower… But I also need to know I can park near the venue, otherwise it’s gotta be the TH! T

If you have the choice and it fits the size of gig... DB every time 💪🏻

Everyone has their different tastes in overdrive, I totally get it! T
