TomDuff Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Anyone on here use or have used Bag End cabs? I have had mine for a while and love it, I would be interested to hear any thoughts, opinions etc. Cheers. Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi Tom, I know your cab well, I've played through it at your Dad's house a few times and maybe on a gig. I like it. I had a SWR Baby Blue Monitor a few years ago which had 2 x 8" Bag End drivers and that was a great cab, wish I'd kept it. cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yep, used to play a Mesa M-Pulse head through two Bag End SD-15s, lovely lovely rig. Very odd colour though. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to add another one to it - preferably the S10-XD, if you ever hear of anything let me know although there doesnt seem to be a lot of it about or not that I can find anyway. Hope you are keeping well. Edited July 29, 2013 by TomDuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The BassGear one literally sold on Monday My favourite ever Bag End cab is the 2x12, sounds amazing with a big powerful head. Bit heavy but sounds wonderful. I used to gig a 1x15 and 1x10 together. Worked really well and looked cool as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've always liked the name, mainly 'cos my favourite book is Lord of the rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've got one of the Beedsters old 1x15" Bag Ends. Very nice all purpose cab, not light by modern standards, but for a 30 year old design its compact and musical. Doesn't have tons of low end on its own, so isn't that impressive on a quick try out but excellent on a gig where the front of house engineer doesn't want your amp getting in the way. I understand Bag End evolved out of the Alembic / Grateful Dead Wall of Sound PA experiences. Those cabs were often industrial/plain plywood...which they still offer. I think my ultimate "do everything" would be a powered, coax S15..with the built in power amp and plain wood finish. Just add preamp of choice, and DI when you need to.

fabbabass Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have a Q10BX-D (4 x 10, 8 Ohm) and a D10BX-D (2 x10, 4 Ohm) - I got lucky and acquired them when they were sent over for John Patitucci to use on a visit to the UK. He had the some units carted around the UK wherever he played and I got these wrapped and unused from John Henry's Studios. I run them with a 1400W QSC Powerlight and various pre-amps (Eden and Aguilar). They are seriously good! A bit heavy to move around in their flight cases, hence a smaller cab for most gigs and the stack for theatres and showing off. I don't get them out very often as I have played with In-Ears for some time......but when I do, it is a seriously trouser-flapping experience.

Arabesque-bass Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you ever consider selling the Bag Ends, give me a sign :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
