You use Aguilar amps – it seems to suit that gig because they are versatile and powerful.

DS Well now that I’ve switched to Aguilar gear I couldn’t be happier. So far I’ve been using a DB751 with a DB412 cab and the sound reproduction is incredible. It’s so muscular and musical at the same time. As the house bassist on ‘Later…..with Jools Holland’ I need amplification that is reliable, looks great and brings out the best in all my basses whether acoustic or electric. Now that I’m using Aguilar it’s job done!
