Anyone still gig with a 1x15 anymore?

[5port]

Promethean P3115:

300W...3015 installed. Great for small bars:

[3mrhythm]

i did until a couple weeks back when i scored a b25b ampeg cab from the 70s

[two fingers]

All the time. Mesa Walkabout 15" combo. Most of the time I take a matching extension cab, but not always. Neither are a pain to move around.

[bassguppy]

yep. 2/3 of my gigs I bring one. 2 doubles the goodness.





I need both cabs for the tube head.

[Russell L]

Heck yeah. Been using a 115 since 1988, sometimes 2 x 115 when needed. Nowadays it's my Little Mark III head through one or two Markbass Traveler 151P cabs.

Well i am not the richest guy in the world but I had to get something better than my old MIM Fender 4x10 that was in need of a complete overhaul. Lets just say it was a 25 year old sterile used old cab. So I scored two GK Backline 1x15's today for $200 bucks together. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES! First time I have ever heard my Ampeg SVT 350H/B2R at its real potential! I am loving me some 15 thunder.

I know backlines are eh. But its light years of what I had.

[Biggbass]

Yes, I still have my SWR Workingman's 15. I sometimes use it for small room gigs.
it stays in the garage, ready to load up, sitting on top of an SWR 1 x 15 ext cab.

Here's my main gigging rig. Handles most small to medium sized rooms without PA support. Whole rig weighs less than 45 pounds, and pumps 500 watts.

Yep. Aguilar DB750+DB115 makes me very happy...

[pbassnut]

I am able to do most of my blues gigs with a single Bag End S15D, but have a JBL MR15 cab (which mates beautifully with my S15D) that I'll also bring for gig situations requiring a higher SPL.

[Spaldo]

2 x 15 Ashdown boxes

[Blues Bass 2]

Yep , fEarful 15/6/1 . I sold the 15 sub , didn't need it although it did help shake the stage some . The 15/6/1 keeps up with my loud rock/blues band just fine by itself .

[voodoobassist]

Bag End S15-D,usually coupled with a BE S12-D or for more booty, the S15B-D. The single S15-D can handle quite a few jobs on it's own though. BTW, I loaded a non lf Eminence 3015 in it,...sounds incredible!

[adk teleman]

I go with a Fender Rumble 150 combo...the 15 in it gives me fantastic tone and response!

[bedroommuso]

I'm not gigging currently, but if and when I do I plan to use a 1x15".

In fact, the reason I bought a 1x15" instead of a 4x10" or 2x10" is from what I've read on talkbass. There seems to be a lot of love for pairing a GK 400RB (my amp) with a 1x15" on here... so that's what I did. I remember and if I interpreted it correctly, someone mentioning that part of this amps aggressiveness is the way that it efficiently powers a big speaker like a 15" without the "sag" of some other amps.

The other thing, is that the weight isn't too bad either. I used to have a 4x10 that was 40kg (Hartle XL410).

I'm here to tell you, this small, thin, angry sounding thing—powered by a Markbass LMII or GK MB500—kicks arse in some pretty large spaces. I've used it indoors and out, and it never disappointed.

FWIW, I think these are the finest 1x15 cabs ever made.

[tabdog]

I have an Acoustic B-115 on order from GC.
They are on sale for $120 with free shipping.
Just couldn't pass it up,

I've played many, many gigs in medium size venues without FOH support with this E-V equipped antique...

Is it just my imagination or are we the only two TBers that gig with a DB 115? Where are the other folks? It's time for them to stand up and be counted!
