I think this is a fantastically beautiful cab, and I'm sure that a lot of you will too.
BUT, I don't think this big mama is ever going to play live show with me, and I think I should practice with the same cab setup I use live, SO I'm entertaining the idea of selling it.
This is a 2x version of the large size Bag End 15" cab:
the S15B-D. See this link for info http://www.bagend.com/bagend/s15b-d.htm
The oiled birch is really cool - much cooler than that carpet covering. It does not appear that Bag End makes 2x15's in their regular production. I got this used and the guy I got it from got it used, so who knows when it was made. The serial number is visible on one of the photos, so that could give a clue (1710). So if you were in the market for a single Bag End S15B-D, here you can get 2 and have it look so much cooler.
The dimentions of this one are:
36" high w/o casters
28" wide
24" deep
It must be 400W/4ohm. I just stuck my cheap digital multimeter on it and it read 3 ohm, but that must be dc and I don't really know the conversion. You can look it up yourself. I figure 400W because those BE 15's are usually 200W.
The sound:
I really like it. Great mids, can put out incredible lows. I've done quite a lot of 15" cab tests lately, and for my tastes, this one is always near the top of the list. Granted, my tastes are a bit odd, but yours might be too. One interesting thing is the dramatic difference in sound when it's on it's wheels or on it's side. It makes sense, but it's also one thing to think about something and another to witness it. If you want to shake the foundation of your house, put it on it's side. You'll loose some of the great mids, but those lows!
And the price. I'd like to get $600 for it. I figure that's just a bit cheaper than a single 15" cab like this would run. I'm not at all interested in shipping it. No way. I have no clue how heavy it is, but it would be a pain and not worth it. I'm in Milwaukee, so all you Chicago and Madison types are the ones who this is for. I'm also not in need of the money, so you won't see me bumping this thread or getting desperate. I have a feeling that I will regret selling this someday because it is really a one of a kind. I wonder how much it would cost to have Bag End make one of these custom today? But I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't horde instruments as much as I have in the past. So if someone around here really wants it, let me know, otherwise I'll keep it and just enjoy it myself when I want to bother the neighbors
.
PICS:
Front view. The port covers come off with 4 screws.
The Jackplate. The 1/4 inch isn't hooked up, only the bannana plug. It was like that when I got it. I'll give you a speaker cable if you want.
Here you can see the top where the brand is literally branded into the wood, and you can see the scratches it got over the years. I'm sure if cosmetics is your thing you could do some very light sanding and oil it again with walnut oil - that's what they use at the factory.
Here are the port covers. Also double as wall decoration.
Side view. Nice handles.
