15" club

[bluesy_92]

So, I'm starting a club for those with a love of 15" speakers.

Rules:
1. If your rig consists of only 15"s, such as a 1x15 or a 2x15, it is automatically acceptable.

2.If other speakers are involved, there must be at least one 15" for every four others. A 4x10/1x15 is acceptable, so is an 8x10/2x15. But, an 8x10/1x15 is not. A small 1x15 cab next to an 8x10 monster is embarrassing to the 15" so, show the 15"s some respect

3. Pics must be displayed or linked to to obtain numbers.

4. If your rig consists of two 2x15 cabs, you are a god


I'll start. My first amp was a Fender 1x15 combo. When I decided to upgrade, I tried many of my friends amps, and many amps in stores. What I found is, no matter how hard I try, I cannot find an amp with tone of a 15", except for 15"s, obviously. When I decided to upgrade, I bought a 2x15. The tone is amazing, and unlike the rumors, I find a good 15" to have no mud whatsoever. I am a 15" user, and will probably remain so for life.

Yes, I will take a number. I really do dig this cab.

This isn't my amp but it's the exact model (Crate BFX100 100-Watt 1x15" Combo) I'll take a number!

I'm going to stick with the 15's when I upgrade. Sure, an 8x10 looks cool, but 2x15 is just staight-up BA.

My rig allows me to be in too many of these clubs...

The two sideways cabs on the left are 2x15's.

I'll gladly accept either number 420, or 666.

There's only a bandmate... and that's my drummer, who still has me beat in volume. ha

How does a drummer outpower THAT?

I can't figure it out....

Please count me in!

I'm on an semi-formal hunt -meaning I check CL every now and then- for a vintage Peavey 215 cab (or two), but for now I'm rockin' this old Peavey 115 cab made sometime in the '70s.

I also have an old Crate B80XL I use at rehearsals that has a 15" that I'm quite fond of.

 

[Spyness]

I love that nice fat 15 inch sound.

 

[Lia_G]

I'll take a number, please. Here's a pic ... 2 EV TL606's and a Sunn 200s 2x15:

See rig in pictures I've posted here.

In a combined 10" and 15" rig, I prefer the ratio of one 15" to every two 10" speakers.

So if I upgrade at all, it will be to a 4x10 and a 2x15. Beyond that, the only acceptable upgrade would be an 8x10 and a 4x15.

Well number two disqualifies me. Sorry, you will have me in spirit though.

Here's a dual 15 fliptop.

 

[rodl2005]

Well - COUNT ME in. A Berg. NV215, A Mark Bass Std.151HR too!!!!!!! Lerv 'em. In fact I think they're VERY hard to beat! pics comin' tomorrow!!!!!

 

[Korladis]

So is Al Cisneros like this club's ultimate god or something?

 

[Kelly Lee]

So, I guess a Trace 1524 and a Trace 4052h would let me qualify. No need for a number though. Just felt like showing off my rig. Sold the QuatraValve to a fellow TB'er and use my AH350SMX now to maintain an all Trace rig.

I'll be powering this custom rig (with two 115 neos) later today, with a Carvin BX1200.

Oh...and it is just a myth that 15's are "slower" or muddy...just like it's a myth that 10's give one no bottom end. It's all about cab design.

These cabs are screaming loud if need be and the cabs are more mid-voiced and very clear and articulate.

Here's my Hartke VX215:

It's new to me and hasn't been gigged yet, but I LOVE the way it sounds!

 

[Turock]

I'm in. Oh, this is about amps... sorry.
