going from aguilar gs212 to a 410, would like some input...

i have an aguilar gs 212 right now that I use and I like the tone. For gigs, I normally put a gs 210 on top; however, carrying two cabs can be a pain, especially combined with the fact that I dont have a car. I have gigged solely with the 212 and it has worked well; however, it did have some problems filling the stage with sound and cutting through. im looking at either a gs 410 or eden 410xlt. ive heard the aggie 410 can have a lot of high mids, which I do not like. I never slap and go for a more old school tone. I am not sure how the tone of the gs 410 compares to the 212, if it helps, I do not like the gs210 tone alone. There is not nearly enough bottom. I like a good amount of bottom in my sound, would any of these 410's sound similar to the 212 and 210 stacked?

FYI, my jazz is strung with flatwounds and I use a Genz GBE750 head, cut nearly all of the high mids with a slight boost on the low mids

 

i dont think the db 410 will have enough lows for me. i do want something with great mids though as this will be my main gigging cab and will have to cut through. the 410 xst is definately interesting and has great low end response

 

the gs 412 is a little too large for my situation. i defiantely am keeping flats, they are a part of my sound. I think the gs 410 would have more lows than the gs210. Pickles, what were the main diffferences you noted between the gs410 and xlt?

 

the db 410 interests me a lot but ive heard it lacks some of the lows found in the gs410 and 410 xlt. any experience w/ it?

 

yah i havent played through either, I cannot find a store near me that carries them

 

i do like the tone of the 212; however, since I want one cab to handle most of my gigging situations, i feel that a 410 will provide more volume

 

Yah I live in Boston and want to try out some Eden stuff. To my suprise, Boston has a horrible selection of quality music stores. I think im going to have to make a trip up to NH to try out some Eden gear

 

Really? I always assumed more speaker area = more volume, given that the efficiencies are the same. I have 3 gigs this weekend I'll be using the 212 alone at and see how it handles the situation. I do think I would be more comftorable with a 410 behind me as a standalone though. I would have to imagine an aguilar or eden 410 would be louder than their comparative 212

 

No, but that is a good idea

 

i do only want to have to bring one cab to gigs, a 3x12 would be perfect!
