Two x 15 inches of loveliness!

Only one thing better than a 2x15...... A 2x15 and a 1x15! (or possibly another 2x15)

That a 220 head? Just picked up another one, sounds really good with the Barefaced cab.

I think it is, and a 404 underneath it I believe.
That was gigging rig for many years, until the 220 went up in smoke, literally, during a gig. Hope the same doesn't happen to yours!

My old 404's still going strong with another BC'er AFAIK.

[Mr. Foxen]

Now I actually spotted it says in his sig. Mate of mine is selling the 370 head with 301 cab. Pretty endgame rig if vintage Acoustic is your thing.

Its a 220 head, with a 404(1x15) both owned from new, bought 1981 and a 402(2x15) bought on ebay a few years ago with a non working 120 head (sold to Mrfoxen) I think I paid £52 for the 402 and about £440 for the 1x15 and the head. The amp and cab have never let me down in over 30 years and both are almost mint condition, despite quite a few gigs....

I totally agree.

After going down the 12" then 10's route I bought an Ampeg B115E cab, matched it with a Peavey Max 160 head & found the warmth I wanted. The cab is 8 ohm & front ported. MIC of ply it's looks good, is lightweight, on castors & I move & lift it easily with the hinged side handles. The tone is even throughout the frequency range that is to say, to my ears, it doesn't over emphasise any one part of the spectrum.

The ABM115 I sold on was very low biased & I suspect made purposely so to compliment the ABM 210.

My other amp is a Roland D-bass 115 which is a little more versatile but not quite as warm. I have a suspicion that the neo speaker makes the sound a tad more 'cleaner'.

So yes I concur, it has to be 15's.

I like the pairing of two smaller 15" cabs. My personal favourite are the Bag End 15's - these sound great together.

I know someone selling a Mesa Road Ready 2x15" - now that's a cracking cab!

Yes, totally agree. The 151 combo and NY151 cab are nice small cabs, and I definitely feel this "smallness" is what is helping to keep the neo speakers nice and tight sounding (the MB Standard 151 sounds [i]completely [/i]different), but still allowing lots of warm bass. Absolutely definitely needs the Gramma pad on hollow stages though!

I use the Markbass traveller 15 together with the 2 by 10 traveller cab and Markbass F 500 amp. Cannot see myself changing this set- up. Interestingly Markbass cabs come in for a fair share of negative comment but to my ears this set up is wonderful.

Yup I don't get that either...

Another fan of two 15's here as well. I use two BFM Jack 15 cabs and I couldn't be happier.

Did you build them yourself? I just went to his website, he's got some interesting plans there. I'm tempted to have a go at one of his home cinema subs!

I have to confess I did not! I plan on building a couple myself in the next few years, but I didn't have the time or tools to do it myself
