Just did a duo gig with this cab and an EA Doubler. Same great natural sound as the 4x5 version. Sounded like my bass without any electronic coloration. These cabs are really something!

Double Bass Big E 2x5

Thanks, Eric. I always hate to use the phrase "my bass but louder" because maybe it was close to my bass but never really close enough if I was honest.
I have to admit---the 25 and 45 are way closer than anything I've used.

2 more gigs with the 25, this time a piano, trumpet, bass trio in a different room. A little more eq tweaking here, but I got to the same natural sound. I had to back off the volume quite a bit from where I started, too. I don't think there would be a problem adding a drummer to the mix... This is a very punchy, FAT sounding cab all the way up the instrument.
I really like it that I don't hear the "electronics" as with all other cabs I've used. I alternated between a piezo Full Circle and a non-piezo Stat-B, and they both sounded excellent.

I always try to be conservative as far as people's volume expectations with my cabs. It amazes me how far these little puppies can be pushed. I think I like the cajon bag as much if not more than the speakers!
