Name on cab?

Opper Gangnam Style!

Sorry, couldn't resist ;) Got to admit I have a fondness for your name on it like that. All this good looking wood finishing and then your name in bright blue letters. POW! That's what you call cheesy cool!

He can hook them up together and make a stack. They have similar phase relationships so they won't lose any effectiveness as a stack. Just have to put the top cab on upside down so the mid drivers line up and don't cause cancellations.

Take up less space, pack and stage. Same great sound, just not quite as much potential SPL.


I built a 15/6 because I couldn't get my head round the idea that a 12 would be enough without PA support. I then built a 12/6 for a new project I was in that played in very small spaces.

That project is no more and my 15/6 lives in the rehearsal room and I gig 99% of the time with my 12/6 with my bar band. The 15/6 only comes out for outdoor gigs.

I believe that Bassist uses both 15/6 and 12/6 but I will wait for him to chime in rather than me get it wrong.

Everything the 15/6 does except with less volume and less to move around.

Some say the 12/6 is the diamond of the fEARful line and I can definitely see where they are coming from. Unless your band is quite loud, the 12/6 would likely be enough for the majority bar room bassitsts. Its the perfect combination of portability, volume potential and glorious tone.

Versus the 15/6, I can easily just drop it into the front seat of my Civic and that portability combined with its vol potential is just such a winning combination for me. At 43LBS, my 15/6 is no slouch either though.

As mentioned, I could also drop the 12/6 ontop of my 15/6 for huge firepower. I've done that a couple times, but as fun as it is, its really not necessary.

I can also use my 12/6 as vocal, backing track, and bass monitor. Works great with the Markbass "Markstand" wedge. This way I can get the mix I like (I have my own small mixer to adjust things) and get pretty dang loud without upsetting other bandmates.
