CHRISDABASS Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hi today my aguilar db410 turned up and its a lovely cab my only problem is that my mesa big block 750 head is a little too "rock" for me now i want something more versitile and maybe even hifi sounding! i tried the newer trace elliot stuff the other week and kinda liked it....... does anyone have advice on whats best to get? are we talkin ebs?...eden?....aguilar?...trace?.....euphonic audio?..............erm? lol i currently play fender jazz basses with j retro and audere pre's i'd love to be able to get that awesome slap/marcus miller style tone and i dont think its gonna come from my mesa head! anyone anyone fancy a trade??.........might stick it up for sale/trade for rock stuff the mesa kicks ass!! especially that crazy overdrive! anyway.... any advice would be awesome cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Markbass stuff would sound nice with your new cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I agree with the Markbass thing - I think they pair really well with the Aggie cabs. Failing that, an Aggie head would be the obvious choice. I think the only thing to do really would be to go and see Mark at Bass Direct or go to the Gallery or The Bass Merchant and take your #1 bass with you. Might be a bit of a mission for you but you will have complete piece of mind and also won't leave your amp at the mercy of Parcel Farce and the like...

MythSte Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 GK does that really aggressive slap tone well, but im not sure thats 100% what your after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You should also consider a Thunderfunk. It gets a great sound with Aguilar cabs. Call Rob at RIM here on BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 There are lots of amps that do slap really well (if you really need to go back to the 1980's). Marcus Miller was an EBS endorsee until Fender paid him to switch to SWR. Mark King is a tart and will use whatever pays him the most (Trace now Ashdown). Flea uses GK. Try it all and buy what you like best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
