[quote name='Bigwan' post='79958' date='Oct 26 2007, 09:50 PM']Looks great! Definately fancy a couple of those db cabs. Maybe Bass Merchant would take my Tech 4x12 back as a trade-in...[/quote] I'd recommend them! They've got lovely tweeters in them. They aren't neo speakers - so not as light as you'd expect.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='79831' date='Oct 26 2007, 04:34 PM']Looks impressive. Dont they do a sleeve to match?[/quote] Yep they do a head case, but no removeable front or rear cover. So I thought this is gonna protect ok. I've got a proper 3u rack case, but its gonna make it too heavy! The amp on its own already weighs as much as an epifani 410UL!!

It took a while coming, but my Aguilar rig is finally here! I took a chance with the cabs, being the new DB112's. I'd heard the GS equivalents and was well impressed. These are even better. Superb build quality - and not too heavy. Only one speakon on each cab though, so using three cabs I have had to resort to using a jack to jack to link two cabs, and then speakons thereafter. The DB750 is an absolute monster. It weighs a ton, but has the tone to match. It's not naturally or artificially bright like my GK1001, but has this great underlying bass depth that the GK doesn't have. After all a bass is meant to sound bassy! You can roll the bass control to zero, and it is still a very weighty sound! After reading the thread on 'swtich-on' problems and tripping circuits, I was a bit nervous. But all was ok. I set the input to passive, even though I'm using a 55-94 bass, and could push the gain nearly to max before I got a hint of tube distortion. I guess the Laklands output isn't too high. I've yet to use it at a gig, but so far first impressions are fantastic. Its a shame the cabs aren't about an inch or two wider so the amp doesn't hang over the edges! Or have two handles. Here's some pics... Cheers Ian

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='77226' date='Oct 21 2007, 10:30 AM']An interesting approach. Do the DB's come without tweeter like the GS?[/quote] Like the GS112 cabs, the DB's come with or without tweeters. I'm getting three with tweeters.

Thanks guys! Interesting to her Gary Willis has a similar setup. Cheers Ian

[quote name='Bigwan' post='76992' date='Oct 20 2007, 03:04 PM']3 12s... not the norm but when the amp can run down to 2 ohms why not![/quote] I may go for four cabs in time, but we'll see how 3 sounds!

I should be collecting my new rig next week comprising an Aguilar DB750 head and three DB112 cabs (in green!). I'll try and do a review once I've gigged with it, as a few of you are keen to see how the DB cabs perform compared to the GS range. I hope it'll be loud enough, as full power would require 4 cabs. Cheers Ian

[quote name='alexclaber' post='69708' date='Oct 4 2007, 09:14 PM']compared to the GS112 to increase the midrange sensitivity at the expense of some fatness in the lows.[/quote] I'm hoping they will cope with a low B without any problem. They have the same low frequency handling as the GS. They are heavy for a 1x12, but still better than lugging a 4x10 around! I'm surprised they only have one handle though. I took the plunge earlier and ordered three of them, in monster green. The tweed is nice though! I'll let the forum know what I think of them, also the DB750. Should be a nice compact rig.

Useful comments guys, but I assume no ones used one? Interesting comments about porting Alex, thanks. Ian

I saw those for sale, and then realised they were GS cabs, and used words substantially stronger than d'oh!!!

Oooh , I like that pic. That's what mine might look like except 3 cabs high, and monster green! I don't know what difference rear ported makes, but I guess its why these are supposed to be 'louder' than any other 1x12 on the market (according to Aggy)

I've read great reviews of the GS112 cabs, although some say it has a natural mid-scoop sound to it. The DB112 is supposed to eliminate that, so I'd be keen to hear from anyone who has used one. I'm looking at getting three to go with my DB750 head. Cheers Ian

[quote name='bassmandan' post='67386' date='Sep 29 2007, 03:29 PM']I've just purchased a rather beautiful Jazz Bass body blank from this gentleman, for a very reasonable price too! Everything went nicely without a hitch, it was swiftly delivered and (very) well packed, took me close to ten minutes to unwrap infact! Highly recommended, A+++ as they say in ebay-land! cheers - Dan[/quote] Thanks Dan. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Cheers Ian
