NCD - Boogie Subway 15

[Bassman Steve]

Picking up the first of two Boogie Subway 15's tomorrow and very excited. I will review when I have it and make a comparison to the Barefaced Compacts they are replacing.

Nothing wrong with the Barefaced cabs but I just like having only two names to have to spell for my signature!

[RandomBass]

Ha nice one Steve, look forward to you thoughts about them. Have both compacts gone now?

Hi Geoff. Yes they have. I had hoped there wouldn't be a gap but I have my faithful Diesel 2x15 until the second cab turns up in February.

A Blind purchase ?

[Bassman Steve]

So far every single amp purchase has been blind. In 1989 I spent almost 3k on my Bass 400 and two Diesel 2x15's and I was still using that set up until recently ( with one cab). I have never been let down by Boogie stuff.

Same with Fender basses actually. Of all those basses, I only actually tried the 1971 and 1966 before I bought them. The 1966 I discovered in a shop and the '71 because I had to collect it.

Never come unstuck in about 26 years.

It was a ? as opposed to a !!! but quite an outlay if you prefer the Diesel 2X15 or the Barefaced. Just wondered if you had tried one, The construction and look are great.

[Captain Rumble]

definitely looking forward to hearing how these sound

[Bassman Steve]

First impressions are very favourable. I was drawn to it because the cab is deeper than the Compact and the sound seems to have both more depth and definition. It's a little heavier but I really like it.

Looking forward to the pair but have to be patient. I'll use the 2x15 for now (maybe).
