FS (maybe FT?): Dr. Bass Rx115 cab **custom 4 ohm 600 W**

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm selling my Dr. Bass Rx115 cab. The Rx line is now discontinued, but this was there "lightweight" series at the time. The cab was bought new in 2008. I had it custom loaded to my liking. It is a 600 W 4 ohm cab (most of the Rx115's were 300 W at 8 ohms). I also had them substitute the cheap Pyle tweeter with an Eminence APT-series tweeter. It sounds great... but I need money for home improvement. I'm asking $300 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

I really need to sell it outright, but I'd consider a trade & some cash for a small reverb pedal (e.g. Malekko Chicklet, T-Rex Tonebug, Electro Harmonix Nano Grail, or equivalent). I'm also in search of a fitted case for my Fender Mustang bass. If you've got either of these and wanna deal, let me know.



This cab has never been gigged. It has been babied. I used it for practice for a couple years (in a few different practice spaces), then moved it home and it has sat in the corner of my basement for the last year. It even still has the plastic plug in the 1/4" jack. This cab is really light and really loud!



Now for the flaws. The cab has a small ding on the front edge near the bottom. I had nothing to do with that, the cab arrived that way. Dr. Bass offered to replace it, but since I had waited so long for this one (and it doesn't affect the strength of the cab) I chose to keep it. I tried to get a good picture of it, shown below.



There are also a few small holes where I tried to fabricate a custom head mounting bracket. These holes are very small and nearly impossible to see. The holes do not go all the way through, they are just surface level. I tried my best to get a picture of one of them.



Other than that (and a bit of basement dust), I think you'd be hard pressed to find any issues with it. The dimensions are approximately 20.75" X 18.5" X 17.5". It even has the rubber pads on the top so it lines up with smaller (15" deep) Dr. Bass cabs.

This is an awesome sounding cab. It's deep and growly like a typical 115 but has surprising mids. The new version, called the DRB115, sells for $399 new + $39 shipping. For all intensive purposes, this is the same cab (but the DRB series is a little bit heavier) and you can avoid the 6-12 month waiting list. It needs to go to someone who will play it rather than sitting around collecting dust.

Any questions, PM me or post below. Thanks.

Free BUMP!!

Nice to see someone else had the vision to get their Rx series driver upgraded to a 4ohm powerhouse!! Mine just arrived to it's new home in California to help finance the garage door.

These cabs kill!!

Very cool cab.
This and a GB Streamliner 600 would kill.

I've received a couple of questions on this cab. For everybody's sake...

The weight is around 40-45 lbs.
The 600 W speaker is custom made for Dr. Bass, based on an Eminence Kappa 15 LF.

All PM's replied... there appears to be some interest, but no takers yet.
The cab is still available.

One more price drop. Now $300 shipped!!!
I'll leave her up for another week or so. If there's no interest, I'm putting the cab on eBay.
