A 1x15 and 2x10 truly engineered to work together does not and never has existed. Driver displacement and cabinet size requirements increase exponentially as frequency goes down, so while a 1x15/4x10 is a favorite combination the ratio is backwards; a well engineered system would run two to four 15s with one 10. A proper match for one 15 is one eight, or six. 'Matched sets' is a purely cosmetic matter, proper audio engineering is not a consideration.[/quote] Although 'technically' I am sure you are correct, they (Trace at least) do seem to work just fine with a 1x15 and a 2x10. (To my ears)....

+1 for the 'suck it and see' brigade. ... Unless you opt to go for a cabs that were designed (hopefully?) to work together as a pair. i.e. Trace designed their 1x15 and 2x10 as a set. I assume (some) other manufacturers do likewise. A matching 2x10 should in theory add brightness to your 1x15.

Bought a Squier VM Jazz from Adam. The Bass arrived very well packaged and in fantastic condition. Great guy to deal with..........Cheers!

'till I turned the tweeter off! Sounded great at home, but too 'clicky' when cranked up.

+1 for the Squier VM Jazz. I have been playing a Status Empathy for the past 20 years, and have had many (failed) attempts at liking Fenders over the years. Anyway... I recently decided that I could really do with a back-up Bass and thought I'd once again try to get on with a Fender. (I have always liked the look of a natural finish Jazz). But... After reading so much positive feedback on the Squier VM Jazz, I bought one through the classifieds here. I didn't expect too much from it, but after playing at home I took it to rehearsal tonight to put it through it's paces. AND NOBODY NOTICED any difference in my sound! Ok, it doesn't play quite as easily as the Status. The sounds available are more limited. Although in the mix of the band it sat just nice. But this is a £200 Bass. I am seriously impressed... Well done Squier!!!!! I think I have found a second Bass that I can live with.

I 'cut my teeth' playing bass in blues bands around South London, and was never ever asked to play more notes. Sometimes it felt to me that some of my lines were too simple, but I remember a time when a more 'Jazz-funk' oriented player (Yes, I am talking a long time ago) depped for me while I was on holiday. I was concerned that I would be rumbled for not being a particularly great player... (I was new to bass at the time). Anyway... On my return, the band said "Thank God you are back, *** played too much and it sounded a mess" (Or something similar). So my advice would be: Go for a nice deep tone. Keep it simple and avoid the temptation to play more then is needed.

Hi, If it is more bottom end you need, I would definately recommend the Aguilar GS112. I am using one of the 'no tweeter' versions underneath my 2x10 and it has bass by the shedload!

I haven't owned lots of Statii.... Just two. I bought my Status Empathy about 20 years ago. Clean it, change the strings, play it. I bought my Status Energy Fretless about 8 years ago. Clean it, change the strings, play it. Nuff said!
