Lightweight Bass Cab with Monstrous Tone

The Gallien-Krueger NEO IV 115 builds off of its top-selling predecessor, offering quality-conscious bassists eye-grabbing new aesthetics, upgraded construction, and a solid cache of player-requested features. This 500-watt, closed-back bass cabinet houses a custom 15-inch neodymium speaker that's supplemented by a 1-inch horn-style tweeter — a tasteful, powerful combination that delivers undeniable projection, presence, and definition. This sturdy, yet eminently lightweight, bass cabinet boasts rugged plywood construction, heavy-duty bracing, and an ultra-tough metal grille. Whether you use it as an extension cabinet for your Fusion or Legacy combo, or as a standalone cab for your Legacy or Fusion bass amp head, the NEO IV 115 delivers the sound, roadworthiness, and performance you'd expect from a top-tier GK product.

Heavy-duty cabinet with top-shelf build quality

The build quality of the NEO IV 115 is second to none. Its lightweight, void-free plywood enclosure is bolstered by custom-designed bracing for rock-solid durability. The cab's interior is covered with dampening material, which absorbs high frequencies from the rear of the speaker, thereby preventing these upper frequencies from interfering with the high frequencies emitting from the front. You also get a near-bulletproof metal grille, hard-wearing metal corners, and an ultra-rugged cabinet coating. At Sweetwater, we stand by the NEO IV 115 as a smart choice for modern bass players.

Neodymium speakers and horn construction

When it comes to bass cabs, GK knows what they're doing — after all, they've been at it for a while. They've fitted the Gallien-Krueger NEO IV 115 with a single 15-inch paragon cast-frame neodymium woofer. This great-sounding enclosure puts out a solid, tight low end, in addition to articulated mids and highs. This bass cab's voice coils employ edge-wound aluminum ribbon wire for added efficiency and enhanced power handling, and a system to protect the horn from excessive power blasts.

Great lightweight cabinet for gigs

Recently purchased and gigged with the GK Neo IV 1x15.

Something very important to note first- the cabinet that I received had NL2 style Speakon connectors. These are not compatible with the more common NL4 connectors. I actually had to special order a cable last minute so I could gig with it. Last I checked, Sweetwater didn't even stock NL2 cables (at least online).

The cabinet is quite expensive. What you get for the money is a cabinet that is light, compact, and seems to be relatively ridged and well damped. The speaker is pretty efficient, and can move a lot of air.
I was initially underwhelmed using it at home, until I got to gig with it, and open it up for the first time.
After the set, the sound engineer let me know that it wasn't necessary to run the bass guitar through the house subs, because the GK was loud enough on its own. I welcome that, because it usually makes the sound for the audience better.

I would recommend this cabinet if you have a more compact vehicle, a bad back, or just want a cabinet with a small footprint that can get quite loud with low distortion. I'm giving it four stars solely because of the price. I'm sure neodymium 15" speakers aren't cheap, but the price still feels $ more than it should be.

I also have a GK 115RBH. That cabinet sounds just as good if not better to my ears, and has a cabinet that is clearly superior. It is also currently $ cheaper than the 1x15 Neo IV. When I purchased my 115RBH quite a few years ago GK applied no internal damping, but the 11 ply birch is a far better cabinet. The trade off is almost 20 pounds of weight to haul, and a considerably larger cabinet structure.

Overall great for gigs.
