New Gear Day!!!!! (Aguilar GS412)

Sign in to disble this ad
I just got an INSANE deal on an Aguilar GS412 in like-new condition for $475!!!!! (sorry, had to brag a bit)

I had suspected that this might be the cab of my dreams, and boy was I right!!! I can't believe how balanced this cab is, how tremendous the bottom end can be while still retaining such clear and punchy mids and crisp but smooth highs (I turn the tweeter all the way off and then turn it up until it is just barely on to add just a touch of 'air')

Running my Genz Benz GBE750 into this is HEAVEN!!!


Just thought I'd share...

where there are big cabs, there are always people willing to sell them for a song just to reclaim the space (mostly ex wives) good score!

From my experience so far I'd have to agree. So far there is nothing about it that I think is lacking for what I want it to do. I guess it would be great if it were a little smaller and lighter and still sounded the same, but I don't find it difficult to move or lift into my truck...and if it were smaller it wouldn't look as BADD-ASSS!!!!!

It would be priceless if you were running a Genz Benz Shuttle instead of the 750 on top of that shark!

I am seriously jealous!

I don't have the guts to buy a big cab like that
I always tell myself, a 212 is enough......

Man I love how huge my 2 GS112's sound, I can only imagine how devastatingly awesome the GS412 is.

Thats a sick cab for a sick price. I'm jealous.

This is absolutely a truck owner's cab! I have a DB 412 that bought from a guy who hauled it around in a little hatchback! I have no idea how he did that and kept it so clean...

Great deal! Am still desperately wanting to test out the GS412, as my 2 DB410's are great but still deciding if the tone and portability would be better for me in this big cab.

Damned G.A.S.!!!!

If you think it sounds good with a Genz Benz GBE750 pair it with an Aguilar DB750 and be prepared to have your face melt!

The GS 412 will sound great with any good clean head. Honestly, the DB750 isn't even the best match ... certainly good, but the cab sound so great and juicy, anything will work in front of it as long as it isn't too flabby. T-funks, Mesas, SWRs ... they all work great. The 659/750 can be a little foggy with the 412, depending on your taste.
