Aguilar SL 112 Description
When you’re looking for the perfect balance of lightweight design, power, and rich bass depth, that’s where the Aguilar SL 112 truly shines. This cab was designed for players who want to feel equally confident on a big stage as they do practising at home or recording in the studio, without any compromise in sound quality.
This cabinet breaks the mould. We’re used to thinking of bass cabs as heavy, bulky and immovable — but Aguilar takes a very different approach here. Instead of traditional materials, the design uses a lightweight neodymium driver, helping to cut down the weight without stripping away that full-bodied character. The result is a cab that earns its place both as a practice companion at home and as a reliable workhorse for the touring musician.
Why choose this model?
- Lighter than many competitors yet delivers a deep, powerful bass
- Well-balanced lows and highs mean you won’t lose detail in the mix
- Equally suited to playing in a small rehearsal space or on stage
- Effortless to transport — a big advantage for gigging musicians
- Compact size doesn’t stop it from offering impressive volume and punchy attack
Model Overview
The Aguilar SL 112 is a compact, lightweight bass cabinet, fitted with a 12-inch neodymium driver. Anyone who has lugged heavy gear after a gig will appreciate its mere 11 kg weight, without sacrificing real performance. The tone remains rich and expressive, with warm lows and a clear midrange, letting bass lines stay articulate even within dense arrangements.
An adjustable-level tweeter adds flexibility, allowing you to choose exactly how much top-end presence you want. Whether you’re after a rounder, vintage-inspired sound, or need to cut through a live mix, this cab adapts to your needs. The cabinet itself is crafted from durable plywood, ensuring long-lasting strength and resilience to the rigours of frequent transport.
Special attention has also been given to the porting design. The tuned ports add extra depth to the low frequencies without excess boom or muddiness. Bassists across a wide range of genres, from funk to heavier styles, will value the definition and clarity of the attack.
Who is it for?
The Aguilar SL 112 is versatile enough to appeal to virtually any player. Beginners will appreciate its straightforward, plug-and-play simplicity, without needing hours of tweaking. Casual players will value the ease of fitting it in a car boot and carrying it without hassle. Professionals will admire its reliable construction, articulate tone, and the way it effortlessly blends into a stage mix. Producers and engineers seeking a clean, balanced bass capture for recording will also find it particularly convenient, as the cab’s tone sits naturally in a mix without heavy post-processing. Altogether, this really is a universal solution, handling different demands with ease and without compromise.
