By David Gedge STOMP THIS! DigiTech iStomp DIGITECH iStomp Pedal VLZ4 Series Mixers New York City-based bass amp and bass electronics boffins Aguilar have had a very good year, and with the release of their new AG 5P-60 five-string P-Bass pickup and AG 5P/J-HC hum-canceling pickup set, they're continuing their roll. "The AG 5P-60 pickup truly brings the classic sound of the '60s to today's five-string Precision basses," Aguilar president Dave News & Notes Downers Grove's Tobias Music has added a new clinic and lounge/rehearsal space next to their 5013 Fairview Street retail space. Paul Tobias told IE, "We can probably seat 80 for a live performance. Still have some tweaking to do, but the room sounds awesome."
