Today I got to pick up two new cabs from Dave Homer at Gigmaster Soundworks. Mirrored fEARful alphalite 12/6/1's. I have a 1515/66/1, but this is my, "'66 lite" rig. While a single woofer cab is pretty fantastic, and would cover 90% of most bassist's needs, there is a certain magic in a dual woofer set up. The 12/6/1's are tonally identical to my big cab, but I think a pair of alpha 12/6's is the sweet spot in terms of volume/size/weight/overall capability in the fEARful line.
These cabs thunder. Even with my "low powered" PF-500 I get really beefy loud bass. Toss something a little bigger on top, and these little cabs can get scary!
Here is a pic in Dave's shop. Can really see the color. 
Vertical with the PF-500 on top. 
Carvin B1500. 
ART+Crest ProLite 3.0 on a "wide" stack. 
The Classic 400 on top. The amp actually weighs more than both of the cabs together. 
Single cab, practice rig. 
Portaflex settings.

They are a touch heavier than 45 pounds. They are ROCK solid though. I knew I would be putting a 100 pound tube head on them, so it didnt make much sense to be a weight weenie.

I truly believe that the 12/6 is the absolute top of geenboy's fEARful designs. | Having played so many greenboy cabs at this point in my life, I'd have a hard time saying that. Not because I think you're wrong, but because greenboy has so many cabs that do so many things well.
The first time I ever fired up a 1515/66/1 I started laughing out loud...there simply isn't another cab made (except maybe the F215) where you can use words like 'bombast,' 'hi-fi,' 'over the top,' and 'total clarity' in the same sentence
The 15/6, like the F115 represent a lot of bang for the buck...you really could do any gig with just one of those, yet the cabs are small enough to not feel a bit silly at the little gigs.
All That being said, the 12/6/1/alphalite is genius |
