Just Bought 2 Aguilar SL112's  from Paul.... Lovely chap, very hospitable... nice coffee too!

Wouldn't hesitate to deal with again.... 

Thanks 🙂

Well.... I have used a lot of different gear over the years..... here is where I am at now.... don't think I will be changing much from here... 

Unless I can go even lighter?!... (but with the same great phatt tone!).... Both great sounding rigs....

Pm'ed

I'm based in Bristol

I've got too much gear & need to move some on!....

All in good working order, usual signs of gigging but very reasonable condition. Hardly used over the last couple of years.

Not really into shipping the cabs but I'm prepared to drive to meet up, within reason...

Thanks for all the suggestions .... I eventually went with the LaBella extra light Flats.... The gauge fits exactly with the nut... & although I was unsure if I'd get on with a set so light,[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]39 - 96.... They actually feel great & sound perfect.... [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maybe try some Nylon Tapewounds another time... These will probably last for ever on this bass though!.. [/font][/color]

If this doesn't go.... I am also interested.....

Confusing post, inasmuchas tapewound is the term the Americans use for flats.
Do you mean nylon tape wound? I have the Picato Black Nylon set on a 5-string, and while the set is 50-105 plus 130, they feel really light. Remember some of the thickness is taken up with very light nylon, and the windings have almost no effect on the tension of the string.

Ah yes..... indeed, I mean Nylon tape wound.... I have added that to the original post now..... thanks!

I recently purchased an Aria FEB fretless acoustic bass [i](affectionately called a 'febfluffen' on TB)[/i]

I would like to put some[b] Nylon tape wound strings[/b] on it but I'm not finding it easy to track down a light enough gauge to fit the nut slots without having to file them out...

LaBella do an extra light set of flats (760FX) which are 39 - 96... but I can't find any tapes lighter than 750N - Light
.050 - G 1 .065 - D 2 .085 - A 3 .105 - E 4.

Execpt the 'Beatle bass' set for a Hofner Violin fit....

Any suggestions?

My febfluffen!.....

I used to have an AG500 & now have a TH500.... I miss the mid controls on the 500 & the 'magic buttons' (deep & bright)

...Thinking that the 700 will be similar to the old 500 but with more headroom...

The reason I got rid of my AG500sc is because I kept tripping it out when running at 4 ohms... The protection circuit was way too trigger happy.... couldn't resolve it, so moved to the TH500... A nice amp..... with the 'Aguilar' tone but not quite as warm as the AG in my opinion.

Still at over a grand, not sure if I will go for the 700!...

If Aguilar made lightweight SL 2x10's ...I reckon 2 of them with an AG700 head could be my dream rig......very portable... & a choice of 1 or 2 cabs for different venues sizes.

[i]T[/i]he new SL 4x10 looks good but again, VERY pricey.... I can't really justify spending almost 2 & a half grand on a rig, for the level of gigs I do, when it isn't absolutely perfect for my needs...

I am a big fan of Aguilar though.....

Some great stuff already.....

I'd like to add: Genesis - Back in NYC

One note on the bass pedals ....for a fair bit of the whole song!

Love the buckets of funk in the main 2 note vamp.....

Think these will go to a school where someone on here teaches....

I've got two guitar stands that I have no need for... A Hercules small one, in full working order & an Ultimate GS1000 that has a little bit of plastic chipped out where the locking piece is. It works ok though & is repairable for a more sturdy support.


FREE to anyone in need!..... Obviously, I'm not going to bother to get into posting them.. So collection only (I'm based Bristol area)
Gig all over though... In fact this weekend (5th Nov) I'm doing Butlins gigs... Sat I'm in Bognor & Sun in the fabulous Skegness!...

well ive really enjoyed looking at all these beautiful Ibanez's, especially the vintage ones, and thought I would add my own little bit of Ibby porn.

That is a thing of beauty!......

Much respect to Mr Karn.... Such unique creative playing... The two albums that I first heard that got me hooked were

Tin Drum - Japan

& The Waking Hour - Dalis Car

It was mainly he, along with early Pino[i] (with Gary Newman & Paul Young)[/i] & also Percy Jones that inspired me to rip the frets off an early Aria P copy bass I had, to have an inspired fumble!....
