Double Bass I Need Some Advice On a New Speaker

[thesneakyjesus]

I'm looking for something I could use as a standalone 15" speaker with my markbass amp to fake a B15 sound. I also want it to have something on it for the highs because I double on electric, maybe that I could turn on and off (like a tweeter type deal). I also want it to be able to stack up on my aguilar 8 ohm 4x10 for a very loud gig.

Lightweight is also very important to me because I carry the upright and the electric.

A Bag End S15-D sounds great with both EB and DB. There's no tweeter.

Except for the Acme and (stupidly expensive) Euphonic boxes, I've not heard any bass boxes that I though sounded better for having MF or HF drivers.

The best sounding B15 I've heard had a JBL K140 in it.

I know it's not a 15" but I have a Aguilar GS112 and it has that "old school" sound I think you are looking for. I have the NT (no tweeter) model myself but they make it with a tweeter too. Killin for EB. Pretty good for DB too but I also have a Wizzy M-Line which is not quite as good for EB but I play 99% DB.

I also use the GS112 with DB and EB. I have the version with tweeter, performs very nice with both of the instruments. The sound is at the warm side, it's pretty a power hungry cab, need at least 200 watt amp.
