15" are the way to go:bassist:

Yowza. The rig looks like a low organ liquifying metal beast of a thing.

Ok... I see a GK 1001RB II, a chromatic tuner... a BBE and a 1U UPS?

Those a big cabs for 115's from what I see... are they... 215's :D they are very compact if they are!
 
Just played my Showman Tone-Ring cab (loaded with a JBL E140) for the first time at a 100 seat venue with out PA support using my 400RB II and boy did it sound big, warm, and round. I don't know why more player aren't using this cab!!

OH 15's to RULE!
 
Thanks Lowactnsatsfctn and Joe Louvar!

I'm really liking the Focus 115s. Really well balanced sounding cab all across the range - lots of "presence", nice warm mids - and LIGHT! They sound great with the Shuttle 6.0, but also sound really good with the GK MB 200 as well.

Not a lot of buzz about the Focus line though. I'm surprised by that.
 
I had an Ampeg B2 combo that I used off and on for over 10 years. It was the first year of production I believe. It was PORTED, not sealed like the later models were. I tested a sealed model and it was nothing like my ported model, it sounded horrible.

This is a picture of it a few years back without the head.

This amp was an amazing combo. I really liked the sound. It had a lot of mids and crisp highs. It did lack in the low end, but it was clear. I sold the cab without the head for $80 to a fellow TB'er and he loved it as well! -Luke
