CHRISDABASS Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hey I already have an aguilar 2x10 but i really like the idea of their 1x12's! ideally i'd like to sell the 2x10 and buy 2 1x12's in the new white hot finish! but this would cost around £800 so i thought about the option of keeping the 2x10 and adding a second hand 1x12! (a much more cost effective option) so i wondered if any of you had tried running a 2x10 with a 1x12?? did you have good or bad results? any advice / thoughts are welcome Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I do this atm with a GS12 with an SWR Goli jnr lll 2x10 for small gigs. It is perfectly acceptable but the 2x10 is louder so hard to tell what impact the GS has. It takes a tad of the bottom load but I have come to the conclusion that my way to go would be 2 1x12, and since I have the GS atm, then I will add another for a matched pair. Might end up with DB12's though Stick with my SWR rig of 2x10 and SoB 1x15 as SWR and a Jazz REALLY work, IMV. 2 2x10, either DB, or Berg. I think the 12 and 2x10 from AG are more likely to be better matched than my SWR and GS.. same company and all, etc It isn't bad by any means, but for the better gigs, I prefer the matched SWR cabs. I have heard that 2 GS12 cabs sound so much better than the one but I am not convinced about a 12 and 10's If you do add a 12 to 10's then I would think it might just be a transition..as it is for me.

chris_b Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I would always try cab mixtures before you buy. I use a Bergantino AE112 with an AE210 sitting on top. Mixing the Bergantino's works for me but I have no experience with the DB cabs. In my opinion the fuller AE112 and the punchier AE210 work better together than individually in a band context.

Musicman20 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Definitely give it a test....it might hit the sweetspot. I have no problems mixing drivers...eg 4x10 with 1x15 (yep, people say this is a bad idea, but I like the sound it makes, so meh). Recently, I heard the TC RS210 with 212, and it sounded FANTASTIC.

They are the perfect blend of great looks, great build, awesome tone, smooth horn, great articulate performance, and the ability to do balls out rock/metal as well as jazz/blues and still 'fit in'. Not only that, but they are held with high regard throughout the bass world. The white is cool....but get a cover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I agree about the Aguilar sound and three of my favourite players use Aguilar; Nathan East, Willie Weeks and Paul Turner. I had 2 GS112's and they sounded great but if I was in your position I'd have a listen to 2 DB210's. I think they would make a fantastic noise.
