niceguyhomer Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've just bought a rack case for my AG500 and thought I'd put the head in the rack. I have the rack ears but alas no f***ing mounting bolts in the box. The other problem I have is the carrying handle on the side of the head is in the way of mounting one of the ears. So, please help with a couple of questions; Should the mounting bolts have come with the head / rack ears? Can I buy some the same size locally - ie B&Q? How do I remove the carrying handle from the side of the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side handle and feet will have to come off to rack mount it, feet just unscrew and the handle needs the little metal covers popped off to allow you to access the screw that holds the handle in place.

I've tried calling him but it sounds like he's out of the country and isn't answering. I've even rung Aguilar and there's no answer AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the nice Aguilar padded bag for the head (mint) that I never used as I rack mounted mine - shoot me a PM if you are interested, although I guess you *need* to rackmount it with a tuner etc?

Going to be jamming with a guitarist and drummer I know to get my self back upto speed before looking for a band. Alan, what cabs are you using? Would love to hear it, ant gigs coming up? I went to see Andy Fairweather Low last week, was impressed with his bass player, Lakland Joe Osbourne and a Markbass 410 rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and get there mate, I'll come and get you if needs be. They're a genuinely stunning band (dunno what I'm doing in it). Cab wise - I'm using a GS112 for small / med gigs adding a Trace Elliot 1518c underneath for large rooms. Loving it a lot. You're gonna love my Shuker Jazz mate.

niceguyhomer Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Small world indeed Dave. Yeh, Darren is an astounding player - I love his tone, very Steve Lukather at times. When Darren, the keyboard player Andrew and the violinist Richard play together, I have to think of Margaret Thatcher naked to avoid soiling myself. Top musicians - shame about the bassist.

pietruszka Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Ive got the AG 500 SC, same size and all. I tried to rack mount mine and couldnt get the handle off so i thought sod it, left them on and im getting the padded case for it instead. Mine did come with the ears and bolts. Its a standard size bolt, 4 or 5 mm so you should be able to get them from B&Q or some where like that. Great head to. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks Dan, I managed to get some from B&Q - not quite the correct shade but nobody can see 'em. I had trouble getting the handle off too - the chrome ends do fly off though and quite dramatically when a determined lever action is applied using a good screwdriver.
