Well I've used the Neo 115 at a few gigs and a few rehearsals now. Seems likea perfectly good 115 cab. .....Dunno what the story with Old Dog's cab was above. ??

Thanks for the report, most encouraging!
Good to know that there must have been something wonky with the one I tried.

As a plan B: Don at Low Down Sound can make a 1x15 with a mid and/or tweet that looks as Fender as a Fender, for about the same price as the Fender, but with better quality and sound. I own two Fender Studio Bass amps and a cab from Don is in my future plan, after I unload a bunch of gear later this summer.

any clue what the weight is on the 2x15x6 cab?

LDS are all custom, and some are one-offs. Don makes what you want, with the components you want (so long as they work well). The size and weight are up to you.

I've had the Bassman Neo115 for about 8 months. Played it with an Aguilar TH500, DB750 and AG500. I agree the neo lacks some OOMPH. I have tried a few other speakers (Eminence Kappa Pro 15 and an EV EVM15) both sound great in the cab, have better low end and more "push". That said, I prefer an Aggie DB115.

I have Kappalite 3015 in my 115 Neo Bassman and I realy like it...is DB115 good as standalone cab?...you don't miss horn in sound?

 

[rodl2005]

Do you like the 3015 as much as the stock driver in the Bassman 115 neo?
I've got the Bassman Neo 115 and REALLY like it! But I've also got an Eminence 3015 sitting here un-used!

 

[wimpy]

I'm more and more happy with my 3015 upgrade, I like Bassman cab over Bergantino for my needs

Hmmm interesting.
+1 hopefully some others can add their views.

I think the one thing you have to be aware of when comparing the "Fender Bassman 115 NEO cab" with the "Fender Rumble 115" is just that, the specifics. So, when you receive a reply on here make sure they and you know which one specifically they are talking about. The 115 NEO is able to handle 700 watts where the Rumble 115 is 300 watts. The NEO is made more for "touring" and being pushed with a head or combo with more ampage than the 115 Rumble. I have heard nothing but GREAT things pertaining to the Fender Bassman 115 NEO.

I had a Bassman 115 NEO for a while. I ended up with a caster that pushed through into the cab. The "lightweight" materials weren't exactly "tour' worthy. Reminded me of balsa wood.
