Why is everyone selling their Aguilar Cabs?

Everything I've ever heard about Aguilar cabs has been phenomenal. They probably have the most positive reviews of any company regarding cabinets, other than Berg's. But it seems that throughout CL and in the TB forum, there are more Aguilar cabs for sale than any other brand!

I'd like to add i'm in no way hating on Aguilar, I'm just curious. I'm even in the market for an Aggie 410 to match with my SVT-CL. The Ampeg 410 PRO just isn't doing it for me.

Maybe it's just my eyes catching the word Aguilar since I want one :confused:

I love my GS112 cabs, but I'm itching to try DB112s so maybe other folks are in a similar fit.

I'm telling you I've never had any cabs that sound as good as these but I know I would trade them straight up for DB112s. Maybe that's a good question: what are they hoping to replace them with?

These trends come and go. One month it's Markbass, then Mesa, now it's Aguilar, and who knows what next. Whatever the current mainstream trend is, you can guarantee you will see a lot of that stuff hit the used market once the next great "gotta have it" product comes out.

Here is the REAL reason.

Instead of practicing, people are posting on talkbass. Instead of developing skills to make them a better player, they are reading reviews of gear that the psuedo experts on talkbass say will make them a better player. Instead of putting in the time they need to really understand the instrument and the possibilities that lie within, they complain and sell the gear to buy the next best rig that will make them that "great player" that only having XYZ Brand will do.

Only kidding

It's really because Victor Wooten plays Hartke :D

The same reason all of the previous generation of "boutique" stuff is getting dropped like hot rocks; it's either heavier than it needs to be, underengineered, or a combination of the two.

The Aguilar stuff is just heavy.

+1. "Why is everyone selling X?" threads are cyclical, too.

It can't be everybody selling their Aguilar cabs, BTW. I really dig my DB410, it's not going anywhere.:)

I don't know about "everybody," but I'm selling my GS410 simply because of the weight, the same reason I'm selling my Berg HT322. Lugging them around is a taking toll on my aging back. I'm keeping my two GS112s so not all Aguilars are being sold.
