Show Your Love For 15's - Post Those Cab Pics!

Here's my Ampeg rig with a PF800 driving two BA115's loaded with Eminence 3015 speakers with the tweeters disconnected but still installed. I modified each of the BA115's so I have an option to use the internal 100W amp or I can bypass the internal amp and use them as cabs paired with an external head...in this case, a PF800:
Okay, here's mine. It's my go-to for any sort of old-school vibe. Acoustic 370 into a Traynor 215 cab loaded with JBL K140's. Sounds absolutely stunning. I started with the Fender BXR215 you can see off to the side, but the only speakers that sounded good in it are the stock ones, and they can't handle the 370 past 3 o'clock.
This Fender Bassman 100 was crushed during shipping.I salvaged all of the parts and built a "Road Ready" Cab and head...It's my bench/testing amp now.
I painted it with ReRanch Coral to match my Jazz Bass..not a super heavy hitter..but still a member of the 15 club.
Cheers.

Just scored a couple more 15's. First is tc electronic BG250-115 early version. A few cosmetic dings from gigging but it's a really solid sounding combo. Very loud and punchy. This is a totally gig worthy combo. I found it sounds pretty weak till you get it cranked up and then it just comes alive. It has the tc tube drive built in and I run the Spectracomp toneprint in the other slot. Sounds great together.
The second is one I saw on CL and the price was too good too pass on and it looks new. Ashdown RM-MAG-115. The Ashdown cab sounds decent but the tweeter needs work. No level control so it gets way too zingy for my tastes when pushed. I'll probably end up disconnecting it or adding a level control. The Ashdown is a sealed cab and although I'm not a fan of sealed bass cabs it gets good bottom. Hey I couldn't pass it up for the price. The thing weighs probably 50 lbs so I'm guessing the only plywood in it is the speaker baffle. I've also got a tc BH-250 head that sounds real smooth with this cab. Not balls to the walls loud (mostly due to the over zingy tweeter) but great here at home for practice or smallish gigs with FOH support. Also toying with the idea of porting it. Not sure yet. I have to look at the speaker and see what's in there.

You definitely win in the Hand Cart category! The 15/6/1 and 15 sub on that cart is an awesome picture. I'm guessing that rig gets a litte loud?
It's an old Casino 2x15 cab; I used one with an early 70's Sunn Concert Bass head for years... : )
I used to own the same Kasino cab as that one. It was a really good sounding cab in its day.

Here's my Musicman HD 130 with its 1x15". I'm still looking for another one of those cabs.

Saw a 115 RH on Reverb just recently. Cabinet itself looked decent but it had some funky grille-cloth and a JBL K series speaker in it. The only one of those cabs I've seen anywhere for sale in a very long time. Might be worth checking it out. Just because it might be years before another one pops up anywhere. I saw it listed on eBay too and it had a few people watching it.

Just noticed your avatar says Switzerland. I think the freight charges would be astronomical on that cab.
Thanks for the link, but yeah, I'm on the other side of the pond and shipping that cab within the US is already $165.
Also, it seems the be kinda expensive.
I guess, I just got really lucky, scoring the one I have, it was $80 - including the original cover.
or 2x15's and 2x12'?s:
How do you like that AccuGroove tri 115Obligatory crappy cell phone pic...

Well, it can get up there in volume for sure!You definitely win in the Hand Cart category! The 15/6/1 and 15 sub on that cart is an awesome picture. I'm guessing that rig gets a litte loud?
But I've been using the F215 more often. It's has tilt back wheels that makes transport somewhat easier.
And I don't have to carry two seperate cabs.
