Suggest a 1-12 cab with lots of tight lows.

The best 112 I've ever heard is the Schroeder 115L+

The Genz NeoX112 is also very nice sounding. It's a bigger box than most 112 and it sounds like it.

 

I have to agree with Ken on this one. Though another 1x12 cab to add to your list if you're only interested in 12" speakers would be the Bergantino AE112.

 

Aguilar GS112 or DB112NT

 

Well, I don't know what 'more lows and tight lows' means actually. To my ear, the 115L+ is MUCH louder than the UL112, much more punchy through the low mids and upper bass (which is my definition of 'tight lows') and has just a wee bit less absolute deep bass extention (which is one of the reasons it is SO darn loud... deep bass extension and a little cab equals nice tone in the living room, and a 'fart-a-thon' when cranked IME.... Of course, if you stack 2 x 112UL or whatever, it's killer. I'm just talking about stand alone performance here.

Put another way, the 115L+ makes your bass sound like you are playing close to the bridge pickup, whether you are or not. It's that 'burpy' tightness. It is VERY even throughout the mids (it doesn't have that big low mid push like the 1212 or 1210), but it does attenuate a bit way down low (it is a VERY small box).

 

The Mesa 112 is pretty nice - I almost NEVER turn the bass knob up. I leave it flat almost all the time, and it still pumps out a lot of low end. They're about 43 pounds, but they feel lighter due to having handles on both sides.

 

I would happily recommend the 1x12 I've got, but it's damn near impossible to find the driver these days, and from various internet rumors the cabinet isn't so easily available either, so it'd just be a tease...

Aw what the heck, call me a tease:

I've got a Flite Sound cabinet loaded with an Altec-Lansing 601 driver that was reconed as a full-range 12" (the original 601 was a 2-way with a coaxially mounted compression tweeter on a multicell horn...basically a smaller version of the 604 driver that was used in Big Red studio monitors). This driver is at least 25 years old, and I've had it in three different cabinets over the years. It's always had surprisingly deep rich low end, but never so much so as when I installed it in the Flite Sound cabinet. For small clubs, coffee houses, rehearsals, & studio recording I can use this by itself and get big phat booty-shaking bass. For bigger gigs I combine it with a 1x15. Best of all, it weighs less than 20lbs!

 

Considering you own a 1515 compact, I'm not sure how much tighter lows you'll get from a 15+L. The Aggie stuff is not as well defined down low as the 15+L or even the UL112 IMO.

 

the lows on these I found were only tight and clean at low volumes, at high volumes, forget about it.. they break up too easily.

 

yes the mesa 112's are nice. i use mine's with a big block and i to never turn the bass knob up.

 

It's not a 12 but the Acme B1 would fit the bill. Small light and puts out a lot of low end.

another experienced vote for the Mesa Powerhouse 1x12. great cab with full, but tight lows and low mids. Good overall control of the cab with the adjustable crossover as well.

Use mine with a Walkabout and a an MPulse600.

Worth checking out.

good luck

 

Although I never played the UL112 I do have 2 PS112's and the lows are great. (Better than the UL112 from what I hear.) Better than my Schroeder 1210L, which is what I was looking for without losing the cut. The lows are well defined and clear.....as in the notes are easily recognizable and not muddy at all. Hope this helps

 

I have never been happy with any single 112 driver.....or any single driver cab for that matter.
Make sure you try some out before buying something blind, I much prefer a multiple driver cab over any single driver cab.
You may want to consider a 210 cab over a 112, just my opinion.
