Hamster Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I bought this from Mr_Russ around a year ago and I've enjoyed every second of it. It was made to compliment a Markbass 2x10 cab and is approx 23W x 21H x 19D. It weighs approx 37lbs and is clear, loud and pretty bright for a 1x15 cab. It won't do bright and zingy but it will provide buckets of punch, power and pretty detailed clarity. Rated at 450W @ 8ohms and it has a speakon connector to the rear. I've put new cab corners on it and it really is the best sounding 1x15 I've ever heard. In fact I think the tone just has the edge on the current edition of the Compact. It's an earlier Compact and so 'carpet' covered which is looking a bit used but not 'tatty' I'm selling because I've acquired a current model Barefaced Compact and I'm intending to buy another one to match the newer model to make a killer 2 x 15 matching rig. If you're in the market for a killer 1x15 cab to compliment your existing rig - then you've found it.

I will ship, and you'll only pay what it costs me. If you want to use a specific courier that's fine, but I will only ship it fully insured.

Wil Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Do these pair nicely with other manufacturers cabs? Looking at ways to replace my single 4ohm 1212L with something louder - maybe this and an 8ohm 1210L would do the trick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensitivity in this cab means you need less power to drive it really loud - and 600 watts is plenty for me! It's very light like the Schroeder and by looking at the Schroeder's specs it might be a very happy marraige! If you want more detail about the cab you'll have to speak to Mr Claber, as I just plug it in and make a lot of noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's a possibility, that's for sure. I'll have a think. All depends on if/how I swap my current cab for an 8ohm one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 you sure you'll want another cab. Supposing this is the same as the one I tried, it goes JoeGarcia in the living room loud on its own, with only 100w. This has the interesting effect that my can skate round on my vibrating floor like one of those air hockey tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Apparently these are on a par volume wise with the 1212L but with a flatter response, in which case, probably just a touch quiter than I'd like on it's own. I like to feel the bass like a kick in the balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

270degrees Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hi. How does it differ from the standard Compact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it differ from the standard Compact?[/quote] Because the cab size was tweaked and tuned so that it would sit under a Markbass 2x10 cab the dimensions are different and it weighs a little more - but it's still a very easy one hand carry.

The 1212L is louder (it is honestly ridiculously loud for its size), but my word the Compact goes lower. It laughed at the 1212L's low end handling. Either way, the Compact is a great cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
