Item Description
Listed 2 days ago
CONTEXT/HISTORY: I am an honest person. I will only represent my gear in an accurate manner. Check out my reviews. With that...I always take really great care with my musical gear--treat it gently--handle it carefully. I just sold one of these so this is the last one I have to offer. I don't gig out much--but I love having great gear! I did several gigs at outdoors parties with this cabinet and it was plenty loud. Otherwise, to be very honest, the overwhelming majority of time it has been stored in my climate controlled, pet free, smoke free studio, covered up. It is in perfect condition mechanically and in super shape cosmetically.
CONDITION: Excellent
Please take a close look at the images. I've provided closeup images and it really is excellent--with only minor scuffs here and there--but mostly on the hard plastic corners--exactly where you would expect them (see images). You can buy corners for $3 on the Mesa Site if you really wanted.
INLCLUDES: Free shipping of Mesa Subway Ultra Lite 115 Bass Cabinet. I know how to pack properly. This will also come with insurance and a required signature upon delivery.

FROM MESA/GIBSON
By itself or as a companion to a 1x12 or another 1x15 cabinet, our most popular single speaker format is the 1x15 Ultra-Lite. A little larger footprint (than the 1x12) accommodates the needed internal volume to match the 15” Full Range driver and create this, warm, huge sounding compact cabinet that shines for everything form old-school Blues and R&B to scooped modern Slap and tight, picked Rock styles. Our sweet High Frequency Driver ensures the detail remains intact and imparts an adjustable Hi-Fi character to the sound. By itself, or as a foundation for further coloring with 10s or 12s, the 1x15 anchors the Subway Cabinet Line with its flexibility, warm and accurate performance across the full range, and ease of transport. You can’t go wrong with a classic and this great sounding, carry-friendly Cabinet has all it takes to earn that status.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
When I purchased this cabinet, I was telling myself not to go any heavier than 25 pounds, but this model got so many positive reviews that I just had to try one. Much to my delight, when I used the two handles to pick it up, it felt super light in my hands! It's actually surprising how nice and balanced the weight is. I'm 61 years old--and I can easily handle it--even when I have to shift to holding it in one hand to open a door.
This cabinet is manufactured at a professional grade and costs a lot new. It is made in the USA, well constructed, and feels very solid in every way. The black Tolex covering is firm. The grills are metal (and in perfect shape). Some of the images show some padding I placed on the tops to further protect them (that's just me taking care of my gear--and if you bought anything from me before, you know I like to do that).
Why did I purchase this? I did so because I love having professional grade gear. I can't tell you how much joy this cabinet has brought me--just playing it in my studio or occasionally out on my back deck when I want to hear it outdoors. It truly is a joy to have what the Pro's will call "enough rig for the gig". Having even just a single, paired with my Mesa D800+ bass amplifier, I NEVER had to worry about "will I be able to hear myself? Will the audience be able to hear the bass?" Professional bass players in various threads online all say the same thing: These are awesome cabinets. Full, deep, articulate, capable of being driven, constructed superbly. Of the entire Mesa line of bass cabinets, the pro's will say "If I had to pick one, it would be the Subway 115". I concur.
As I said, I just sold my other one--so now I have only this last really great cabinet to offer for someone. I just don't play out much and have become more interested in the sound management side of things--PA mixing, as well as digital producing, etc. So I would really love to see someone else get to play with this and experience the same joy I've had. Really, that's it. That's my experience. It's a great cabinet. These are really expensive new--so I believe I've set a very fair asking price given the condition it is in. As I said, I'll cover the shipping, insurance and delivery signature costs myself. This should be a good opportunity for someone. If you have any questions about wattage, ohms, compatibility, etc., please feel free to reach out and message me. I'm happy to help.
If YOU choose to work with me, know that as soon as you purchase something from me, I'm very responsive. I'll be sending photos of the packaging process, providing timelines for you--so you'll know what to expect. You become my priority. The way you should expect and deserve. Again--honesty is a good thing. I can offer you that.
