Gr Bass CUBE 112+-8 BLK BLACK

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The CUBE 112+-8 BLK fits within the spirit of current compact speaker cabinets: offering reduced size, manageable weight, and a sufficiently broad response to cover fingerstyle playing as well as pick, slap, or effects. In the 8-ohm configuration, it positions itself as a versatile solution, designed to work alone in a lightweight setup or paired with a second cabinet to gain breadth and dispersion.

Who This Amp Is For

This speaker cabinet is aimed at bassists from beginner to advanced levels who want a reliable, portable cabinet capable of transitioning from rehearsal to stage. It is particularly suitable for contexts where a simple rig (head + 1x12) with good definition is sought: pop, rock, funk, fusion, gospel, modern jazz, but also metal if you appreciate precise attack and well-controlled highs. In the studio, it provides a clean and clear foundation, practical for laying down a well-articulated bass in the mix.

Features and Innovations

The GR Bass CUBE 112+-8 BLK is a rear-ported bass reflex cabinet designed to maximize efficiency in a compact format. Its key control feature is the 1-inch tweeter with 3-position level adjustment : you can tame the highs for a rounder "vintage" sound, or open up the upper spectrum for a snappy slap, audible harmonics, and better effect clarity (octaver, envelope, distortion). The 8-ohm impedance facilitates pairing with most bass heads and allows for adding a second cabinet to increase dispersion area.

Sound Character

With its 12-inch woofer, this CUBE favors a natural balance: present lows without muddiness, firm low-mids to hold the note, and a crisp attack that helps you cut through the band. The tweeter provides the precision needed for modern techniques (slap, tapping, pick playing) and processed sounds, while the 3-position selector allows adjusting brightness without touching the head's EQ. Its frequency response (40 Hz to 18 kHz) and sensitivity (98 dB SPL) point to an efficient cabinet capable of delivering good volume with comfortable dynamic headroom depending on the amp's power.
