Aguilar GS112NT

Aguilar 1x12" speaker, with 2 front ports and NO TWEETER. Basically, the highly acclaimed GS112 minus the tweeter and a few pounds. One speakon input and two quarter inch inputs. Handles 300 watts at 8 ohms, but I'm currently running 1000 watts through it and it can't get enough! The cab is also astoundingly light and compact, weighing in at 38 lbs. and has an extremely useful side handle that turns the cab into an easy to carry briefcase.

Old-school fatness. If you want to sound like Victor Wooten, this may not be the cab for you. This cab made me realize that the sound I so much have hated all these years is the tweeter. No more harsh, brittle, snappy highs, just warm, smooth tone. I was also surprised at how smooth and articulate I sounded through the single 12" speaker, but that would make sense since no crossover is required. If you haven't heard this cab before, my best description of how this cab sounds would be a 12" subwoofer that you'd have in your trunk. Just keep giving it juice, and it just wants more without any distortion at all! I've played with this thing at all different volume levels in all different types of playing situations and it never ceases to cut through the mix and fill everything up with fat, warm bass tone.

Well, four days after I bought this cab, my roommate puked on it at a gig and it's still going strong!

I have personally met Dave Boonshoft, the CEO of Aguilar here in NYC, and after receiving a tour of the shop, I have full confidence in Aguilar's customer support

This cabinet redefined everything I thought I knew about bass enclosures and what my sound possibilities were live. Up until this point, I have been on a search for the best sounding, most portable cab out there. I've gone from a full GK stack, to an Epifani UL-310, to an Accugroove Tri110L, and I can proudly say that my journey has ended with the Aguilar. A/B'd with my Accugroove, the Aguilar is fatter, louder, and far more responsive. Mind you, the Accugroove is intended to accurately reproduce the sound of your bass and amp, which it does, I just happen to prefer the warmer, fatter sound the GS112NT provides. I play a '69 Fender P-bass with VERY OLD Fender flatwounds through a mid-90's Trace Elliot V-type tube preamp/Carvin DCM1500 and the tone I aim for is what some would probably refer to as "modern vintage". In other words, fat, warm, bass with lots of headroom and the GS112NT has helped me come closer to that than ever before. I can't wait to get another one of these and take them on tour!
