15" speakers were put on this planet for electric bass! Here's my GK neo 115 cabinet:

How do you like that AccuGroove tri 115

I REALLY like the Accugroove cabs (I have a Tri-112L also and have owned a Whappo and a Whappo Jr in the past). I've owned a BUNCH of different cabs over the years (Bergantino, Epifani, Aguilar's, EA's, SWR's, Eden's, Glockenklang 4x10....) and I like the sound of the Accugrooves the best. They definitely reproduce the sound of the bass and are very detailed but not harsh and the low end just KILLS. I doubt that I will go back to different cabs and I think that I have the best modular rig out there now. I can use either cab by themselves and they are amazing or I can use them together and hurt small animals at 50 yards with total accuracy!

FYI, I am also an audiophile and am well aware that there is no such thing as a "perfect" speaker, although the Revel Ultima 2 were close...at over $17,500 for the pair. The Accugroove just sounds the best to me.

I am currently using a Darkglass M900 with the cabs because I am in a "little bit of tube-type distortion" mode right not but the cabs also sounded great with both Glockenklang heads I had (Blue Soul - sold and HeartCore ) and a Genz Benz Streamline 900. I am using them for a stage monitor at my church and it really helps solidify the band and the singers - the band is all on IEM's but the singers are not. You can really hear the difference between my rig and the church's at the back of the room, which seats 1200+ and is 80% full for the first service and 70% full for the second.

I also sub at other churches and have gotten a lot of positive comments on the rig from other musicians I get to play with.

In case you are interested - my all-time favorite Accugroove cab was the Whappo Jr - 1-15, 1-12, 1-6 mid and tweeters but it was a beast and WAY TOO MUCH overkill for what I was doing back then (Is there such thing as WAY TO MUCH OVERKILL or am I delusional?)

a couple of Bag End 15s (sorry it's sideways - for some reason it won't rotate)

Hows this look? I rotated it for you. That's a nice looking rig.

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.

WOW! $80 bucks is an absolute steal deal for that cab. Good score

Have always loved my 15's. Here's my 70's Ampeg B25 with updated Eminence Beta 15A's.

Thanks for doing that! That was my max power rig at the time. I had it outdoors that day as it was good for nailing small critters up to 500 feet away!

15's rock. These cabs have been upgraded to Legends.

Selling my Ampeg SVT-15E if anyone wants it.

Haven't used it in a couple years because I've been using my 2x15 so heavily.

Vintage (1970ish) Polaris Bass Amp, basically a Sunn 200S clone. "Darth Polaris" I toured the country in 1974-5 with this amp.

My Fender Rumble 200 combo and Rumble 115 cab. May not be as expensive as some of the rigs posted here, but I love the 15" bass sound!

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.

Nice I have a LDS custom 2x15 cab loaded with JBL K140's. I use different heads with the cab. I run a Acoustic 220 head with it sometimes, sounds great.

whoa ... that's Noel Redding-like!

Don't know if I've posted this in this thread before, and I can't figure out how to search this thread like I could in the old days before the forum software was improved. I have many pics of 15s I used to own, this and a nondescript 1X15 EV loaded cab is what I have now.

Compact rig mesa subway genz 15

Here's my rig! Cab is a genz focus 15. The whole rig is so damn convenient and sounds great! Got the cab for real cheap too like $100 bucks new from a local shop when they were closing out genz stuff. If I ever find another one I'd snatch it in a heartbeat. Couldn't be more satisfied with the volume, tone and portability.

Just picked up this new Acoustic BN115 NEO 15 cab today. Nothing fancy but all I wanted was a basic cab to use here at home with my tc BH-250 and my 74 Dual Showman. It was on clearance at GC plus I got an extra discount for it being a floor model. IMO at the regular list of $399.99 it's not a great deal. I got this one for considerably less than that.

It actually sounds decent and the construction is very good. Tolex covered, Plywood fully braced and the cab is damped inside. Speaker is a nice cast frame NEO not sure who makes it though. Tweeter is basic and nothing to rave about but I don't use it anyways. The quality on these lower priced Asian cabs is getting better. Looks like GC is closing this series out so if anyone needs a decent 15 for cheap I'd say go for it.
