Sign in to disble this ad
On my local Craigslist there is a 2x15 bass cab for very affordable. It is described as an "old school Road brand". I emailed instantly asking about more info, but I Googled all I could and was unable to find anything. Is Road a brand, or is that the model of the cab by chance?  |

| | | I was just referred to this by the owner: Road Electronics 2x15 cab
That helps a lot! But if anyone else has any more info to share, please do so. |

Not bad gear by any means, and they were eventually bought by Rickenbacker.

| | | | Awesome, thanks. It is all original, and both speakers are 8 ohm, does that make it a 4 ohm cab? |

| | | | I am pretty sure I will, I have been looking for a good 2x15 and for the price I don't think I can pass it up. |

I have been looking for other ROAD cabs for a while now and would love to own that 215.
I have a ROAD 4x12 cab that is my main bass cab and sounds amazing, built like a tank too...and it feels like it when you pick it up, but tone of the gods. |

| | | | I plan to use this vintage Acoustic 4x12 with it. I am regaining gear once again after some time away from bass. Figured I'd start with speakers since I have found these great deals. Next I will need to decide on an amp to power 2x 4 ohm cabs and shake some walls! |
