Laney Nexus 115

[Sharkfinger]

I'm trying to gather some intel on these 1x15 cabs. They seem pretty good value for a light-weight, fairly compact 1x15 and it can handle 400 Watts.

Have only found 1 review so far. Anyone got any experience or managed to find any more impartial reviews?

Yes they are nice cabs. Our guitarist works for Laney and I have had the pleasure of trying all the Nexus cabs and both the heads. The heads are nice but have a few too many knobs and buttons on for my liking.
As for the cabs, I had a Barefaced compact in the end. Smaller, louder, lighter and a better sound.

I've just recorded with a Nexus 400w head into a GS412 and a 70s 120w head driving its nuts off into a Nexus 4x10. Totally beasty sound, dub lows and agressive clunk and huge growl in the sustain.

That's definately worth considering! The difference in price (delivered) is about £70, which is not much these days and as you say, the barefacedBass compact is significantly lighter. That's a significant factor in my decision.

Will see how I get on with my 2x12 mini rig first, sounds good at home but will naturally need to see how it cuts it live.
