| | | | Aguilar owners, which cabs do you use?
I am wondering what cabinet you choose with your Aguilar and why? The GB, SL, DB Series or other brand?
As more of a jazz player who likes the growl sound, I went with the DB series. I also prefer getting cabinets from the same manufacturer as my bass amp. I find they usually sound very good as they were designed to be played together.

Love my Aguilar with my fEARful.

I use Bergantino cabs with my Aguilar DB751 and it sounds amazing! |

Love the tone and it is super light!!!
Cannot compare to their other cabs as I have not tried them, but I highly recommend the SL112, for me it is a keeper....

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2012 Location: Minneapolis, MN | | | I have a DB cab, and I like it because it is more mid-voiced. I've also played through a Bergantino cab and a Mesa Powerhouse, both of which sounded great. |

I down sized a little, the ~100 lbs was proving too much for my 150 lb frame heheh. I went with a GS212, which is a nice compromise on size. Tone wise, I like the 410 better but the 212 is a close second. I tried a few other cabs before I decide, but I've never played anyone from Berg.
I just picked up an SL112 stack and Tone Hammer 500, but no gig experience with it yet so I will reserve judgement just yet.

I don't know what you do for a living but I have a 20 month old and he sent out mass emails plus event invites to 4 or 5 different client distribution lists plus my entire company that consists of 2 different divisions and about 150 people in 2 cities, both the emails and event invites said something to the effect of "lsdkjgahdlkjahdglkjahflakjdhflajdkhfnvdvcnfjvghai uh" the jokes from people who don't have kids never get old.
...I use a GS412.

Love my Aguilar with my fEARful. | I agree, but you need a store that has both so you can A/B. I find that a challenge. Never heard a fEArful cabinet but I am sure they sound great.
It would be nice to compare at least 4 different same size cabinets against each other. I only heard the Hartke Hydrive and GK cabinets against the DB series. I heard the GL cabinets several times so I knew their character. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
