Aguilar · amplifier
The Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 LTD Chocolate Brown is a limited-edition finish version of the Tone Hammer 350, a 350-watt solid-state bass head delivering warm, fat, tube-inspired tone in a 3-pound package. It features three-band EQ with sweepable midrange adjustable from 180Hz to 1kHz, a Drive control for adding grind from subtle to near-fuzz, and a front-mounted DI with pre/post EQ switching and ground lift. Despite its 350-watt rating it handles small to medium club gigs with headroom to spare. It is widely used by jazz, funk, gospel, and blues bassists who want warm Aguilar character with exceptional portability.
