Recommend a 2x15 cab please

[fretmeister]

As the title says.

I'm trying to put together a 'try' list.

So far - the Zoot 2x15; the Markbass 2x15.

Must be lightweight / neo


I've never had 15s before - always used 10s or mainly 12s, but I feel the need for low dubby goodness!

NV215 - bassdirect

Until you said lightweight I was gonna suggest the Mesa/Boogie one. It moves mountains.
Pretty intrigued by the Zoot ones myself, let us know how it is if you get to try one.

Matamp 2x15 - awesome cab and about £400 cheaper than the Bergs, and all the custom options you could ever want. It's 50kg's but thats about the same as the Berg.

50KG!!!! Blimey!

I got rid of my Marshall VBC412s because they weighed that!

Nice specs though.

I don't think I can cope with a 50kg cab again - so that is the Matamp gone as well. Shame that - their guitar gear is fab.

You could always use a badder 1x15".

you played their new bass head? i came a little when i first turned it on, its how bass is meant to sound ;(

[mr_russ]

The markbass one sounds great, albeit lacking a touch in the upper midrange - for my tastes.

definitely worth a try + it's a really good weight.

Have you noticed that there is an Epifani 2x12 for sale on this site?
One of these will produce as much bottom end as most 2x15s and weigh a lot less.

Yeah I did but it's not loud enough for me, well it might be with 2 2x15's but the Mesa is just way louder and way cleaner for longer that's not to say I won't be buying one.

i know this was AGES ago,

but how much were they?

[bassbluestew]

Contact Phil Nixon at Bassgear.co.uk.......he had a Purple Chilli 2x15 very recently that I lifted with one hand ( and I'm crippled with arthritis ). It's being replaced with a new design, so I'm sure there is a great deal to be had.
Well worth a call. High spec, much cheapness.
