The Verdict
Aguilar’s AG 700 V2 is what happens when a boutique bass company gets Class D right. That AGS overdrive is the secret weapon — it adds grit and character without needing a separate preamp or drive pedal. The 4-band EQ is more than just a tone stack; it’s a genuine tone-shaping tool that works across funk, rock, and metal. At $1,200, you’re paying Aguilar’s boutique premium, but you’re getting tone that competes with heads costing twice as much. Bass Player and Bass Gear consistently rate Aguilar heads in the top tier. If you need clean power and organic warmth in a lightweight package, this delivers.
