This one's a doozy.
I had been looking for a 1x15 cab, and just before I was going to pull the trigger on a Warwick gnome 1x15 4ohm (forgot it's exact name) I stumbled on this one.
The "Blackstar Unity Pro Bass 250ACT 250W 1x15" active bass cab.
Now I had previously looked into hooking up my pedalboard to a active speaker but when asking around was met with people who either hate it or love it and seeing I couldn't try it I passed on it.
Now believe it or not but this thing was misspriced, and was reduced by 44% (woopsie)
So I promptly added my 7.5% discount code and bought it.
To the stores credit they actually shipped it
And now it's here and I love it.
No tweeter, but tbh I didn't want one seeing I would mostly use it for motown etc. And it sounds lovely!
Nice warm and full tone when hooked up to my pedalboard that uses a two notes revolt bass preamp and a valeton gp5 and a boss comp.
And it's loud, I've only tried it as an active cab and it really is able to annoy neighbour's with just a tiny bit of volume.
But it's fine my neighbours are the type of folk to play incredibly loud music all day and then try to yell over it to their screaming kids outside
So for the first time since I've started playing I'm going to enjoy big fat thumping bass at my own home without feeling remotely guilty
If I have to say anything bad(?) about it is it really needs to be lifted from the floor. It seems to become one with my home and rattle it like a tambourine.
