Bass Amps & Effects / Re: 2x15 vs 1x15 + 4x10?

So now I've hade time to fiddle with the Dual showman controls. Holy matrimony! What a sound! Earthshaking, and still a clearity that's totally impressing. Our drummer just smiled!
I'm so glad I got hold of the Ampeg Classic 1x15. Wow, 2x15, that's what I'm used to, and that's what I want!
Thanks everyone for all the input! You're great, all of you!

Checked my new speaker yesterday. Dual Showman on top, underneath it Ampeg B series 1x15, and in the bottom Ampeg Classic 1x15. I'm not impressed.
What I hade in my old cabinet, 1x15 JBL plus 1x15 Elektrovoice, has got much more deep power, shake and roll in this, my first opinion. Gotta spend some time fiddling about with the knobs to see if there's any way to get the sound I want.
Could it be that the Elektrovoice is hard to replace?

That's what I just did! i decided to take the "leader", and the "holder" (Swenglish for sleeve, and plug-in caster) off from the cabinet, and exchange them for 50 mm diameter lockable rubber wheels. Don't understand why I didn't come to think of that solution right away, cause I had put rubber wheels on my old 2x15? Well, sometimes the memory bank is som full of sh-t that it takes some time for it to begin to work on all cylinders (that's gb for the modern man. I'm not).
So, gather round me people, and read my lips: Hope you all have a really nice weekend?

Absolutely right, Dave! Your translation of Swenglish is right at the point! ;) I'm gonna check Rob's suggestion, and maybe it works.

Got my Ampeg Classic 115 today. Friend of mine brought it from the south of Sweden, and here to the north. About 1 000 kilometers!
I haven't tried it out yet, but there's one thing I wanna know before the Classic finds it's way to the rehearsal place: I discovered that the wheels for my Ampeg B don't fit my Classic. The leader for the wheel is too thin. Plus one holder for the leader is missing.
Anyone know where to buy a holder, and the right wheels?

Hey, Patman! Bring one for me, too! Or, maybe, bring out a couple!
Love that Texas country.

Found one Ampeg Classic 115 today, on the net. 1 000 kilometers from here, but the price was right. $ 200. Can't complain. Only transport left to get together. I'll report back later.

Big mistake, everyone of us! What I thought was an Ampeg Classic, showed up to be a B series HE. Realised my mistake when I went to the rehearsal place tonight. So forget everything I  wrote about the Classic 4x10. One of the guitar players, who's also a sound technics, thought I should get rid of both the 410, and the 115...
Tried out my Dual Showman with only the 115. Nope. Now I think that the only solution is 2 115's, as long as I want the sound I've gotten used to. So... as Del Shannon once put it so cleverly: Keep Searching!

Thanks for all the input! Guess I'll start by checking the Dual Showman with just the 1x15. Come to think about it, I'm not sure what that sound will give, som I'm kinda excited by the idea. If satisfied, I'll check with the combination of 2x12, and another 1x15.
Thanks again!

I've had my 2x15 cabinet, with one ElectroVoice, and one JBL, since -75. Never let me down! Sounds hungry and mean if I want to, and like smooth velvet when needed. But nowadays it's to heavy for me.

So my son, and I, changed speakers. I got his Ampeg Classic, made in Vietnam, 1x15 + Ampeg Classic 4x10. Connected it to my Fender Dual Showman.

Sounded thin!

So I'm thinking, maybe these 4x10 aren't made for me. Should I try to get another 1x15 Ampeg Classic, a 2x12, or something else? Suggestions are more than welcome!

Thanks, Dave! It was a nice and fun gig. Strangely enough, with an audience of, maybe, 200 men and women from around 20 to 70 years of age, every one seemed to be enjoying themselves, no matter what age! That sure feels good!

Gibson must have had good salesmen in England! T-birds were in the hands of bands like Freddies, above, The Hollies, The Merseybeats, and even Herman's Hermits had them! But what happened next? There's a gap until Wishbone Ash had one. Why? And what happened to them basses?!?
