What 115 sounds most like NV215?

[Luckydog]

Am considering a single 15 to use for smaller gigs, rather that roll in my NV215. What single 15 cab in your opinion sounds most like the NV215?

Well Jim Bergantino is coming out with next month is the NV115 bass cabinet, would be the way to go.
OOPS!!!! Maybe it is called the NV158, anyways sorry.

I started a thread a few months ago about the new Berg NV115 that should be hitting the streets in the next few weeks. Search Bergantino NV158

I thought there was a Dr Bass 1580 in the amp classifieds awhile back.

Ok cool, does the Dr. bass sound pretty much like the sealed NV215? Any other currently available cabs that sound like the Berg?

oh no...don't go to dr.bass

I own a Dr. Bass 1580 [ported], and IMO it doesn't sound much like a sealed Bergantino NV215 at all.

That said, I see nothing wrong with buying a used Dr. Bass cab if you like the way they sound; just don't give any money directly to Marc Serio aka Dr. Bass.

If I remember correctly there seem to be a financial problem with Dr. Bass, I guess he wasn't filling orders for people, I think there is a thread about that here on Talkbass some where.

If you can't wait for the new Bergantino NV158 (NV115) cabinet, you could always check on the Greenboy-Fearful design bass cabinets.
