It's not my cab, but it's pretty much the same as mine. The owner is another Montreal TBer who had heard mine at a GTG and ordered this. 3015LF, 18sound mid and Ralph Patterson xover. Mine is crossed at 1200Hz and I think this one is the same deal. I love mine; it's beastly loud, brutally low and crystal clear.

You are right about this cab being beastly loud and low.
I'll bring play it with the band tomorrow for the first time, I'll let you know.

Don and I are working out details on a LDS hybrid of the Aggy SL & DB 112 around the 25 pound weight of the SLs. I'm gonna go with a pair in tweed and I'm sure I'll be good on the weight.

[joelb79]

Based on what driver?

[astack]

I'd guess Deltalites? I believe I read the SL's have and OEM version of that driver and it's a great sounding very lightweight speaker. Otherwise a Basslite for a touch less weight and less upper mids. Should be a sweet box either way!

After hiding in the shadows for months, I will finally come out now that I have something worth sharing.


That's mtngrown's old 1515/66 with the Eminence LFs and 18sounds and a 2x8/5/1 I picked up from a fellow in SF a couple of months ago.

About the 2x8, I've gotta I have been very surprised by the lows coming out of that thing. It makes a killer pairing with the MB 121P for smaller gigs; and also works surprisingly well as a PA speaker - handy!

While I haven't given the 1515/66 the full treatment (that will have to wait until Wed night for practice with the metal band), playing at low volumes tonight it has been a-mazing. You'd think a bulky beast like that would just clobber the notes; but it's actually very articulate and clear from the B0 to the top of the neck. It's slightly smaller than the fEARful 66, which is perfect for me, because, believe it or not, this cab fits in the back of my Saturn 4-door with enough space between it and the seats for a 4-space rack and a hardshell case.

I couldn't ask for more - except for a high-freq driver, 'cause I'm a slap-happy sizzle freak, when I can get away with it. However, I can see how these PA style cabs would not suit many people's tastes. In my search for a one-cab-solution I tried a Berg NV425, which has pretty much the opposite feel of the 66.

Much props to Don for an amazing box, and props to Ron Anchak for the fEARful crossover. Me am happee bass man! Thanks, Pat!

Nice. What're you going to push the 1515/66 with?

Well, I figure that GBE 1200 sitting on top of it outta do the trick - it's the only head I own at the moment.... I'll also be pushing a bunch of effects. A full report will ensue Wednesday evening.

My bad---I was busy looking at the cab and didn't take notice of that box of TNT on top

HOW COULD YOU MISS IT!



I was fixated on the head since I already have a 15/6 I know is loud enough; thinking "My gosh that box of TNT will cause an earthquake with that speaker."

[steelbed45]

I love my LDS 15/6. I'm losing the battle to keep the grill cloth clean, but if that's the only concern, I can live with it.

[Chef]

Is that a Cowpoke, with an added neck pickup?

Let us know how it kicks for metal!
One heck of a talented young player. It was fun to listen to Elliot work the cab over in my garage

Sounds like a great box for The Other One, The Unbroken One and Space

[jcpassport1]

The Other One.. hee hee.... so true...
This will be replacing the Faital pro in an under sized but classic Sonic Micro Mini and and EA-VL110 on top. Hope my ashdown Abm500 is enough,(love it) or I sell everything and get gk mb800 or LM800 I guess.
