Sweetwater Welcomes Boom Bass Cabinets

[@sweetwater]

We are so excited to welcome Boom Bass Cabinets, with their clever designs and bold looks, to the Sweetwater family! Give them a shoutout in the comments!

[@nagamata]

Dude that luggage handle on the cab has got to be one of the simplest and ingenious things I’ve seen yet. God, what a blessing.

[@72Stiles]

Ampeg was doing that back with the Portobass series (not to be confused with the modern Portaflex) in the early 2000's, but small and light amps/cabs hadn't caught on yet.

[@ModPhreak]

PJB has them to

[@mrpres17]

What an incredible dude! Plays a mean bass, makes some of the best looking and sounding bass cabs ever and then on top of that names the cabs "BBC" what a guy 😂

What a humble and passionate man. Home improvement wood worker by trade? And a killer bass player? And manages to start his own enterprise? I wish I had that drive at my young age. I'll have to buy one of his cabs not only to support him, but also because they are such a great concept!

[@vaughnmiller5319]

If I was a bass player I would be all over one of these cabinets. Dude put a lot of thought into these cabinets. They sound and look great not to mention easy on the spine.. Good move Sweetwater. Boom!

[@fishpotpete]

Designed by a musician, built by a craftsman... who happen to be the same person! What a cool design idea. I'd be interested in hearing one of these live.

[@rickyjoeshippyful]

Seems like a great guy, I wish him all the success. It would be cool to see this guy go on and develop a name that everyone knows like Friedman or Wampler or something.

[@Espresso101]

I absolutely love everything about this company. Craftsman by day, bassist by night, puts his two passions together to address all his needs, develops unique features, and a cool as name. What's there not to love? So happy Sweetwater jumped on this.

[@TayTayKemp]

This is awesome of you guys to let Boom Bass Cabinets join the family Sweetwater!! I really want one now! And awesome demo Drue! What a wealth of knowledge 😎

[@thesisters1349]

God bless this man.. I've seen his stuff on Johnny Lee Long's channel. These are the sweetest cabinets I've ever seen/heard... He saw a solution to a problem and did it. Awesome job!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

That’s where I seen him first also! Johnny is the man!!!

Awesome to see someone with an unique idea make it and a company like Sweetwater carry their brand. Great job to BBC and Sweetwater!

[@sdbracht]

Thanks Drue for designing these cabs, can hardly wait to hear my 1212. Awesome job on this presentation!

[@MrCalifornia0]

Wow, great sound and fantastic playing. Drue your knowledge and enthusiasm show in responses and playing. Sounds like you have creating a truly amazing product. Thank you Sweetwater for carrying them.

[@ruanof7]

This is our American, home of innovation! great job, proud of you sir! ( the bass speaker facing to the ground to give a surround sound is an amazing idea ! )

[@hesingshesobs]

You have a couple extra words in there...

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Now... THIS is the kind of company I would be happy to support! The guy built his own company, from the ground- up, by using basic, familiar concepts and combined them with convenient adaptations and intelligently-innovative ideas to create an obvious winner of a product line. I do hope he finds continued success and growth for himself and his company!

FINALLY someone who really gets the low end for bass cabs

[@AntoineTutStewart]

This is amazing! Congratulations Mr. Drue!!! I’m loving my BBC 12/15 Custom Military Cab!

[@donniejean]

I really enjoyed this interview. Mike is a great speaker and it’s great to see this gentleman using his trade to also improve on something he loves.

Finally a slanted speaker!!!! In the cabinet,I was asking manufacturers to do this during the Eden and SWR days.

[@joelsk7149]

Happy to see so much innovation going on in the guitar world right now, some of these are gonna be flying off the shelves :D

[@patrickcarroll1754]

This man sounds like a true innovator.

[@RU-HDD-4-HVN]

Sharp looking cabs! Sounds like he reasoned out the design totally from a players viewpoint. Love to see his take on a SVT 810 model design too. Musician designed....smart dude!! Again, looks great!!

[@michaelmattson3515]

Excellent idea. I’m passing this on.

[@ksgtrpkr]

I want one of these cabinets! Great guy, fantastic Bass player!!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

He was a great man for hooking Johnny Lee long up first seen them on his channel, ill be definitely getting the2x10x15

[@jherforth]

Seems like they're already gone from the website, and by the looks of the BBC website, things aren't going well with keeping up with production. Shame. I was really looking forward to adding one of these. I think the alternative is MarkBass for weight and power. Sweetwater, fill the gap, get in some MarkBass!

[@rl-ub9hx]

That's a shame, they have a great rep in the bass community

Without even trying one of these yet I love them built by a hard working tradesman who is a solid bass player he knows a good sound and with all that you can trust these are what he says they are nice video and teamwork with Sweetwater is a plus they are great

[@MrLouisianaHayride]

Its like this cab was designed with me in mind. Turning 50 and I want something easy to pack out but still be able to hear myself. There goes my income tax return haha.

[@patlecat]

Looks like really great cabinets and quiet affordable too.

[@ramseydoon8277]

When I can afford to finally buy an amp I'm going to get a Boom Bass Cabinet. This video sealed the deal.

[@GospelMusic4Life]

You are right about wanting smalll and big sound. i stopped using keyboard amps because of this. Only use pa speakers.

[@sleepingturtle8888]

I wish manufacturers would make more analog solid-state amplifiers and use more 15" & "18" speakers. In my collection, I have three 15's, one 18, and four 10's. I hate modern class D amps and using only 10's and 12's.

[@tylerwmbass]

I use one of those class D Mesa heads with an Aguilar SL115 and it is the closest tone I've got to one of those old school high power class AB solid state amplifiers through a 15. The key is making sure the cab and speaker were designed with no tweeter or crossover circuitry.

[@sleepingturtle8888]

@@tylerwmbass That's nice. I have two vintage Peavey bass amps. The pure analog circuitry must be felt to understand it entirely. The larger power amp, transformer, capacitors, and other components throw sound out through the speaker. I have used class D amps and to my ears, the preamp and power amp accentuate higher frequencies. For my style of using only passive basses with flat wounds and high action, class D amplifiers compress and tighten the sound. It's the nature of the circuitry. My point is: the industry should bring back analog solid-state amplifiers as an alternative to the Class D standard.

[@richsnyder]

Technology has advanced and today's 12's have better performance than yesteryear's 15's.

[@sleepingturtle8888]

@@richsnyder The same can be said for the larger sizes. My 15's and 18 are equally as modern as my 10's.

[@snippletrap]

The best tone I’ve ever had was from 70s Acoustic Control stacks. Built like a tank and will last forever too

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Here is a sales engineer question for you. I am all about double-duty. I currently play bass AND guitar through the same rig, which is an "amp in a box" type preamp pedal running into a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170, which then goes into a Gallien-Krueger 1x15 cab. Also, I don't play slap. I play bass with a pick, like the guitarist that I am. I often play the bass with distortion, or a shimmer reverb paired with an octave. And when I play guitar, it is full-on distortion in Drop A tuning. Yes. I am a full-on metal guy. At the same time, I am all about compact rigs, which can fit in the back seat of my car. I love being able to travel with as little as possible. So, with all that in mind, which one of these would be best for my purposes?

[@sweetwater]

Hello! These cabs are really full range, so they would work well. If you're concerned with having a lot of low end, I'd get one of the cabs with a 15 in the bottom. If you're worried about that not sounding mid-rangey enough for the guitar tones, then I'd go with the 2x12. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Tank1015R--boom-bass-cabinets-inc-tank-bass-cabinets-1-by-10-inch-1-by-15-inch-1400w-4-ohm-red www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Tank1215R--boom-bass-cabinets-inc-tank-bass-cabinets-1-by-12-inch-1-by-15-inch-1600w-4-ohm-red www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Tank1212R--boom-bass-cabinets-inc-tank-bass-cabinets-2-by-12-inch-1200w-4-ohm-red Thanks for the interest!

Thank you for sharing.

Do they come in small bedroom size combos?

[@sweetwater]

Hello! They are not currently making any combo amps. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1732, [e-mail]

[@pbdrums]

Brilliant sir

[@johnstewart7619]

Ok so since these are sealed cabinets, are the down firing drivers actually a passive radiator? It would make sense to put a larger passive radiator down firing to increase the bass frequencies of the smaller front driver? I know he said it was a regular driver, but just wondering about this? Great product btw! I was looking at these on your website the other day!

[@sweetwater]

Hello, John! Those down firing drivers are actually receiving power/sound. These amps put out a ton of volume and low end for their size. I'm considering getting one myself! Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1732, [e-mail]

[@texgrouper7825]

Thanks for sharing. Would do well with a Darkglass amp head?

[@davemccall9594]

Absolutely. Anything that can push a 4 ohm cab (which is pretty much every modern bass amp... but check just to be 100% certain) with 300+ watts should get you moving. 500+ watts will get LOUD. It looks like the 750 watt Aguilar amp in this video is turned up to about 1.5 or so.

[@texgrouper7825]

Thank you 🙏

[@sweetwater]

Hello, Tex! Yeah, these cabs would sound great with a Darkglass head. They can handle a fair amount of wattage and pump out a lot of sound. That would be a great lightweight rig. Thanks for the interest! Kevin Spunde, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 1732, [e-mail]

[@rickbogan4631]

Interesting but like other supposed tilt-back baffle designs useless on a club stage. May be good on a large stage if you want to be 20 feet away from your amp. I never had issues with low end from my 4 X 10 cabs. When I used two I had them on my preamp/ amp rack (about 14" off the ground) and it sounded awesome (so I was told many times by other musicians) to me. And one on a stand or my rack rocked just fine in small situations. Also never liked the sound of SVTs.

I got one of the early versions before he got well known, mines was nothing but trouble failed at a gig, tweeters kept blowing out it was just not holding up its a 1215 tank, I actually had to open it up and rewire and replace just to gig before I found the right maker who originally created this style of cabs now my new cabs make me so happy.
