Bag End Club.

I got a bag with no end!

Can I still be in?

I got it from a man with long grey beard, followed by two dwarf like persons, who called himself Grindelf.

Really it is just a bag with no bottom in it, but what do I know about magic :rolleyes:

I keep it just for all eventualities should I ever be in need of such a bag.

At least it won't choke you if you put it over your head.

So if you haven't played the BagEnds...Do you mean with the Berg cabs???
I'd like your A/B comparison

I will be using a S15-D and S15X-D stack and it will be hard to give you a comparison to the Berg215 BECAUSE- I just picked up a Mesa 400+!!:hyper: and will be using it instead of the Ashdown.

I will report the current results. Next gig = Feb 10
 
One thing I wanted to add. In the 90's a friend played through a SWR Goliath I or II and it was rear ported. I remember it sounding amazing. I think it had to do with the mids speaking very freely through the front and the bass was very musical.
I had a pair of Hartke 4.5XL, so I was not moving away from them at that time.
This is what I envision that the S15-D,S15X-D stack will have that vibe.

I was using an S12 on an S15 (oiled birch with cab corners added) with an AMP BH-250 in the era that everyone was using GK heads on Hartke 4x10 and 1x15 cabinets. I'd often got chuckles from other bassists over my 'mini stack' until after my set. I generally moved more air & filled the stage better... they would drill me with questions afterwords about my 2 'unknown' / 'homemade' brands :eyebrow:

I haven't posted an a while in this thread... still using and loving my D12-B... still pushing it with a 40 tube head

Oh man! Nice rig and basses. Ive always wanted to know how the bag end 12's compared to the 15's.

Thanks! I've given my spin on it a few times... with my old AMP + S12 + S15 set up, I found I get the best tone in the studio mixing a close mic on the S12 mixed with a direct signal. When I came back to Bag End after a few years of following the TB buzz cabinets, I contemplated an S12 + S15 again, but was using a monster Peavey Classic 400 tube head and figured the D12 on its side with the head on top on a stand was a better way to go.

Direct comparison I cannot give, but I did end up picking up an AMP BH-250 like I used in the past and it felt like home :)
 
Yes, a few times. I really like them alot. Sure, they do go super deep but, they just work and the mids and top are exactly my preference. I am wondering what the 12" bag drivers sound like. I'd like to try a 12 on top of a 15. The 12's go higher.
