I've been told being a musician is 90% listening to what the people in your band are playing and 10% musical ability/ chops. If you can listen to what's going on with the band and make your part work dynamically as well as sound cohesive and complimentary, you're playing as a musician...

I have 2 GS112s and really like the option of having the two cabs. I live in Baltimore but my band is based in Philly, so I'm able to leave one at the practice space, where we load out for gigs, and bring one home with me. I don't know what type of head you're using or what the setting of your...

Here ya go: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f127/fs-aguilar-gs112nt-1005225/ In Florida too! Hope this helps!

basskababble, sorry to get back to you so late... I did start using the second GS112, but it still sounds greats through 1. I may be wrong, but the tone should be the same from 2 as 1, just louder. I'd say go for it, but also look in the classifieds here on TB, I got both my cabs from members...

This thread is just what I've been looking for, thanks to everyone for the info regarding the raised poles on the Custom shop pickups. I too purchased a used 2012 and wasn't sure which pickups were in it, but was hoping for the CS. Previous to getting my 2012 American Std used, I played 2...

THanks for the feedback! I have decided to go with a second GS112, keep everything nice and matched tonally. 2 GS112s was my original plan, the 115 just popped up so I didn't know if that would do anything dynamically different. Matched cabs seems to be the way to go, and I'm sure my back...

I'm in the process of putting together my dream rig, which is the Aguilar Tonehammer 500 and 2@ GS112. However, a GS115 came to my attention on CL and now I'm wondering if I should go with that? I already have a GS112 and was wondering if there are any advantages to pairing the GS115 with...

Hey Baltimore friends, I'm also bassed in Baltimore. The Epiphone EB-0 is a great short scale bass. It was my first bass I got, one of those starter packs, but I have to say, when my Fender Jazz 24 was having electrical issues this past year, I got out the Epi for a Jazz ensemble I was...

I did not, but the tone wasn't really my end game. I was more worried about the angle caused by running through the body being detrimental to the string's life and longevity. Based on what I've read, people don't seem to notice any difference in tone through the body vs top loaded, my main...

Put the flats on today. Started by going through the body but ended up top loading due to the angle on the string: I could see the wounds starting to separate. They just look "happier" going through the bridge. Gonna keep a close eye on the ferrules, though they don't look like they're going...

Thanks!

AmazingMumford, Thanks for your post. Yes, I was concerned that the angle created by going through the body might have some ill effect on the string and its lifespan. Think I'll go through the bridge for the time being so as not to kink the strings too much and can make further set up...

Philibuster, I am having the same dilemma right now. Putting chromes on my 2012 AmStd and uncertain what to do. I asked two very reliable bass head friends of mine and they came back with two different answers. The first one said, "don't go thru the body." He couldn't remember why, but...
