How light do you think a TL606 cab could be built? Maybe used thinner wood or (as suggested by this Talk Bass thread) fiberglass composite w/ neodynium Eminence? Love my road ready Mesa cabs, but wouldn't mind shaving off 10-20 lbs from each cab, and I don't really need anything that beefy since they'll spend less time on the road and getting beat up in the van these days.

For me, it usually had to do more with how much space I've had on stage. Try to squeeze on w/ two guitar stacks, I usually went vertical; on a larger stage or with one guitar I'd leave them horizontal.

Sims and do both?The amp should never be wider that the speakers underneath because that's what zom zom said and he was right.

Looking to shave some pounds off hauling my 1x15s around.My band Paper Mice did a basement video shoot thing and the fellow had a pair of handmade TL-606 cabs with Kappalite 3015s in them. I was put off a bit at first because they seemed a tad thin in the low end, but the recorded tone is great and I've been considering replacing the 15" stock Ampeg speaker in my 1x15 with one.

There should be more mushroom-shaped combo amps.
