Description

Edit description

Elevate your sound with the Aguilar GS 212 Bass Cabinet, a powerhouse designed for the discerning bassist who demands both precision and power. Built to deliver the same full-bodied tone as its smaller sibling, the GS 112, this cabinet expands your sonic reach with two 12" cast frame woofers that handle everything from the smooth grooves of jazz to the heavy riffs of metal. Whether you're playing a sold-out gig or jamming in the studio, this cabinet ensures your bass lines are heard clearly and powerfully.

The Aguilar GS 212 is engineered to perfection, featuring a phenolic tweeter with an integral phase plug for crisp high frequencies that cut through the mix. The cabinet's custom crossover with variable tweeter control allows you to dial in the perfect balance of highs and lows, ensuring versatile performance tailored to your style. Built with durability in mind, its 7-ply, void-free Philippine Mahogany construction and deep dish handles make it a reliable companion for the road.

For connectivity, the cabinet is equipped with one Neutrik Speakon and two 1/4" inputs, offering flexibility to suit your rig. Robust and road-ready, the Aguilar GS 212 comes with removable casters for easy transport and locking corners for added protection.

"I used my DB 750 and GS 212 and also an AG 500SC, which I loved! It worked remarkably well in the studio – it has a really clear sound – slightly different than the DB 750 but just as useful. We combined that with the direct signal."
