Aguilar Agro

I have to admit, my dreams were haunted by a black Fender Precision. It was there, coming out of the mist towards me. Couldn't see it very clearly though. Is that you, black Fender? Or is that a giant squid, sent to the mainland to become a cow? I pulled out a Fender Pbass with natural body and smacked the squid on one of its left arms. Or right. Well, I hit it.
Black is very sensitive to fingerprints, if I get me a P, it'll be with no colour, just the wood grain visible. Or it will be a Sandberg California for less money and probably better tone versatility.

Mmmh, black again. What the...

So yesterday I bought the Agro and today it got used, a lot. To forget about the Fender I first played the Mayones. Yummie, nice. And then put the Baphomet in place. Plectrum, bass, Aguilar pedal. ENGAGE. My god, this must be the overdrive sound created from heavenly orgasms coming from angels with slightly pervers thoughts about fluffy clouds and buckets full of stars. Euhm... yes, the Agro.

To make it mine, I do what I always do, I put battle scars on it. The Jabba has a dent, small but it's there. How? By throwing the strap over my shoulder, forgetting it has part of the Schaller lock installed. Tack, dent. The Baphomet has two scratches on the lowside of the body. How? No idea but probably caused in a way too small rehearsal room when playing post metal. And the Agro? In less than a day? Yes, that's me. There was a price sticker on it. And it didn't come off completely. Instead of asking my wife to remove the remains of what once was a sticker I pulled out the 'Sticker remover'. Took a cloth, put remover on it and pushed it against the sticker remains on the pedal. Left it there for 30 seconds. And wiped it off. So off came the sticker remains... and that beautiful painted white line, surrounding the grey surface. I call it Roadworn. Just like Fender does. So it is really mine now, don't bother a future secondhand selling price. Never say never but when this thing ever has to leave me, it will not be looking that good anyway.

Agro is saturation.
Agro is saturation.
Never mind the other three tone knobs.
Agro is saturation. Worship.

And listen to Bongripper and Dub trio.
