I met this Sammie Glass years ago and had the chance to play a few of his early basses and they sounded good. And I respected his potential. I'm glad to see that he has stepped up his game and now makes his own cabs as well. I haven't heard his cabs or his new basses but I do remember feeling that his early basses sounded very good. As I've mentioned I haven't heard his cabs but a few guys I know said that they are very nice. David Dyson has been using them for a while and really digging them. WELCOME TO GLASSTONE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS!

Haven't talked to him in years.

It's a pity they didn't carry it over to the cabs...

In any event I'm getting one of these bad boys. I'm a student of slap bass and if David Dyson is slapping through one of these I surely want to check one out. When David slaps he's got his own thing going on. IMO there are others who slap just as well but no one slaps any better either. He flat out kills it.

I mean in theory and all, seeing as I haven't actually 'heard' it. | I've been using mine for several gigs now. It's the real deal... and definitely an overachiever. I'm still sometimes surprised and always more than satisfied at the results I'm getting from such a small package.
The cab's sound is very transparent. It works great with guitar too and so far just about anything that needs to be amplified. I took it to the Brubaker shop last week and Bobby Hird of Crack The Sky put a Chameleon guitar through it's paces; Walter Woods amber light (600w) into the Lil G. The Chameleon is model incorporating the layout of a Les Paul, Strat and acoustic in one and each setting came out true to it's design through this rig. Electric bass, guitar, keys and music have all sounded amazing running with my Acoustic Image Focus 1R. If you want to hear exactly what you're doing, I can't think of a better setup I've experienced. If you want to dirty it up, the AI has an excellent effects loop. The Lil G is cool with whatever we've thrown at it.
Bottom line, if you like (or in my case, need  ) accurate sound, you'll probably love this cab. It doesn't sound like you're playing through any particular sized drivers, it just sounds good.
Sammie also built a similar sized 1-15 with a Faital Pro neo 15HP1060 (2,000watt 15 lb. driver) to use with the Lil G when silly volume just isn't enough. Not really necessary, the Lil G stands on it's own just fine... but what the heck. |

Three cables and I'm ready to play (I use a tiny Planet Waves tuner too). Pull those cables, basses back in the bag and I'm walking.
It's like I have a "stack" that works for gigging with my Miata. |

Ps-want to buy one of these and play it in a satanic thrash band. Just for giggles.
