Bag End Stack in the House!
- Thread starter Michael Vee
- Start date
All of the models with the "-B" extension are oiled birch cabs. You might be able to custom order another cabinet in the oiled finish - I'm not sure. Contact Bag End sales. They're pretty nice folks. I almost picked up a pair of Bag End 15s a while ago because they are ridiculously cheap for such a quality cab. I think Bass Northwest was selling a pair of Bag End 15s for $300 a piece. But I scored an even better deal - I just picked up a Q10BX-D for $300 on evilBay! Now I have to get an amp that will really do it justice. I'm thinking of a Carvin B1500 or a Carvin DCM1500 paired with an Eden Navigator.
Side note...Some have commented on the Bag End 15s lack of low end. I call it lack of flab. If you've got a crappy PA / monitor system or band members who don't understand that full bass onstage usually means mud to the folks in the back of the room, then you might want another 15. But Bag End cabinets are designed to be musical onstage, much like Eden cabinets. They might not sound as "hi-fi" in the studio as other companies cabinets, but they are almost unequaled in live application.

We have found the weapons of mass destruction.Okay I'll play, but these are In The Garage at the drummers house right now and not In the House

i wanted to throw down the gauntlet with this!! that's the BE S12-C and the S15L-C! sweet googly moogly! this combo kills! unfortunately it's been dormant since late January when i got fired from my last band. that was a debacle. couple things coming soon, so hopefully she'll see the stage again!
Good bump, MV! Here's my latest. Brand spankin' S15-D's. About three weeks old. It's amazing how much sound can come out of such a little box. (And hey, they're not that expensive either!)
Yay goodie, Bruce! Congratulations on the Bags! They sound so good.. I still prefer them to most of my other cabs.
How do you like 'em so far?
Congrats, FNG! I'm getting ready to try out a new Shuttle 6.0 with my Bag stack. As soon as I get through this theater show this weekend and get some spare time back, I'll post a pic.
Like 'em plenty, so far! Only played them out about 4-5 times as I've been going thourgh a slow stretch. But this summer should see these guys getting a good work out. (I hope! My summer schedule is looking a little slow.)
But, the shows I've played have been diverse: Outdoor to boomy small clubs. I've been able to dial in a good tone each time. Takes me a while to really tweak (tweek?) a new cab (or amp or bass), so the next half a dozen or so gigs will be fun!
They're very punchy. And very full, despite the "specs" on them. The sound seems to radiate away from them, so it may take me a few more gigs to get my volume under control. (I've been a little loud the last couple of gigs. Or so my bandmates say!)
But I'm impressed. Like I said before: Light. Loud. Punchy. Full. Small. And not that expensive. What's not to like??
I use the same stack minus the tweeter. I love it for volume, but it does lack a little low end. Could someone explain why? Is it the frequency response? They only go down to 50HZ
Thanks
Thanks
I just took delivery of a Bag End D10DX-B today. I got it from Expo Audio and Video. They have just the cheapest prices on the Bags that I have yet to see. I paid $625 for the D10BX-D. I was holding out for the D10BX-C which is the same thing but in black carpet. But this was such a great deal. I am thinking about pulling off the red carpet and covering it with truck bed liner anyway. It's good to have a Bag End cab again.
Still looking for an opportunity to hear my V4b thru a Bag End. I'm hoping somebody will bring one to the Madison GTG.
