Cab reccomendations

Buy another GS112. It helps a lot. It drops your impedence down to 4-ohms. Great sound, not too heavy, and since you already have a GS112, buying another one will be cheaper than buying a GS212, + a new/used GS112 is easier to come by.

-P

 

I heard someone say that two gs112s are deeper than the gs212 probably because of the bass coupling effect of the two cabinets.

just get another gs112, they are also easier to carry than one 212.

 

I agree!!

 

Dude, i know that this has never been brought up before, but rumor has it that 2 Aguilar 1x12's are better than the 2x12"s alot... who knew?

 

well,

two 1x12's isnt necessarily better, just a tad different.

the dual Aguilar 1x12's does seem a bit bigger sounding, due to the extra porting and the extra tweeter. but, i find 2x12 cabs, and especially the Aguilar 2x12 to be more focused with a tighter low end. everything just seems "tuned" together.

and tho, you cant beat the portability of a pair of 1x12's, ironically, you're actually carrying 80 lbs. of 1x12's vs. 70lbs. of just one 2x12 cab.

so there's good and bad.

bassj,

for your needs, i think another aguilar 1x12 would really do you good. but word of caution, some guys do feel buried or muddied by the sound of 1x12's. not as punchie as 10" speakers.

but, since you've got a super flexible EQ, remember to play around with the low low mids and dont be afraid to pump them up. use your ears and not your eyes when EQ'ing, and you'll really open up the coolness of those cabs.

sorry for the mini sermon , but it is Sunday afterall.

 

recently I've been more comfortable to turn my bass knob down, even into the negative range if necessary to keep from being too heavy on stage, and to hear myself better!
