vegas_hooker Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Im going to be looking at a new cab soon to run with a Sunn 300T. I am running it with an Ashdown MAG410 which is ok, but I dont think it is the most sensitive and rounded of cabs. I have been looking at an Aguilar GS412 and/or GS212. But wondered if anyone might have some other suggestions that could really handle the power of the amp. I play fairly driven tones with a pick and Pbass, so I was really looking for something that can handle OD and volume comfortably whilst moving some serious air. Cheers.

Used the SS version, Sunn 1200S (Joe Garcia's rig) and it copes ideally. Also ran one with a Laney Nexus 400w valve head, also happy. The Barefaced Vintage would also probably be happy. Ridiculously loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how it comes across over loud guitar, check sig I guess, although that was studio trickery, it was all recordeed live, miced and di-ed with everyone playing in the room at once.

vegas_hooker Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 The MAG I have is pretty punchy and deep so not ideal for an aggressive mid heavy guitar tone. I was hoping 12s might help give a flatter response when the need called for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The Aggies do look excellent. Might be worth asking at Matamp Nath, I see they do a 2x12 for £350. Can the Sunn do 2 ohms? Get 2 4ohm 2x12's and you'll be sorted for £700 P.S. I want a shot when you get sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Balsamic Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 GS cabs are supposed to have a bit of a mid scoop, whilst the DBs are a bit more prominent in the mids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas_hooker Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I didnt realise there was much of a difference between the two except maybe the looks. You can really tell I have done my research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne58 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi Nathan I hope the Sunn is doing the business for you, I used to use it with an Accugroove Whappo Jr 212 cab and it sounded great. Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
