I went to my local PMT this morning to try out some aguilar cabs. I tried the DB 412 and DB410 cabs individually with DB751,TH500 & heads TH350. The guy set all the amps tones flat and I found I could not get a clean sound at all because there breakup of the sound giving a crunchy edge. Even at low volumes it is there and especially noticeable on the higher notes. Any setting I had the Aguilar gear to I was getting this breakup. I'm actually only curious about the cabs so I plan to take my own head down there this week and try out them with a known rig I know is clean so at least I can hear what the cabs sound like. I always thought aguilar was clean hifi gear.
In guitar speak usually I find what is described as clean is intact edgy or something with a little crunch to it, so I wonder if this is what bass players also describe as clean?
