Welcome to this mid-month edition of our newsletter! We have plenty of exiting things going on to tell you about: there is a special report on U2’s Adam Clayton, a new artist interview and Bass Player Live 2009 – we’re going to be there, will you?
Aguilar Amplification has been honored to have U2’s Adam Clayton using two DB 750's, two DB 410's, and two DB 115's on the group’s record-shattering U2 360° tour. After using the brand-new DB 751 amplifier for the season premier of Saturday Night Live last month, Adam will now be upgrading to the DB 751 for the remainder of the tour. He will continue to pair the amps with the same combination of DB 410 and DB 115 cabinets.
A tour of such grand scale demands gear that is rugged, powerful and sounds great with a wide variety of instruments including the 12 different basses that Adam rotates between every night. The tonal flexibility of the DB 751, “the only amp to ever one up the DB 750”, makes it the perfect match for the biggest tour of 2009/2010.
For the past 30 years, Adam Clayton has played every combination of gear as U2 enjoyed unprecedented commercial and critical success moving from promising new act to the world’s biggest rock band. With this much history, Adam can play through any bass rig that he wants. Everyone at Aguilar is excited that Adam chose our amplifiers and cabinets to help him sound great in sold-out stadiums around the globe.

Our new artist interview is with Chris Kuffner from the Ingrid Michaelson band! Chris tells about his experiences moving from upright to electric bass, the joys of using a small rig and how producing other artists has made him a better musician. To read the article, click here.
