I was once offered one for a similar price - it had been stripped to the wood and painted with what looked like black steam boiler paint or something, with metal fence mesh for a grille - rougher than a very rough thing. It sounded great of course, but I just couldn't face moving it even at that price.
I also very briefly had a Mesa Roadready 1x15"+1x10"+2x6"+horn cab - it weighed exactly the same as I did at the time (137lbs), had the world's most uncomfortable side handles, and left the house only twice... once when I took it to a practice studio, and once when I got rid of it. It sounded amazing but it was just completely impractical.

My friend is checking out a 600-watt 4x10 combo for me tomorrow for an excellent price. If that one works out, I will get it, as it is the other end of the country from me, but he is a bass player, and it is right where he lives.
Even with courier fees, it will be a bargain.

Ashdown ABM600C?

He just tested it for me, gave it the thumbs up, and put it in his car. So I will get a courier to collect all 50kg of it and send it down south to me.
I'm hoping it will be enough for jamming with my mates. It looks pretty solid, and I can always add a spare cab with a 15" speaker if it needs it.

I also had a Trace Elliot stack with a 1x15” and a 2x10”+2x5” - it sounded fantastic, but perhaps not as surprisingly, neither cab sounded amazing on its own.

Mine was a smaller version of that with a 1x15" only about the height of the speaker and the ports at the side, the 2x10"+2x5" was the same size, and the head was a flightcased rackmount AH200. It was still a faff to move, but I could manage each of the boxes myself... the top cab was the heaviest bit.

I need to source a 15" speaker that works with the 600-watt RMS Ashdown amp—considering that there is already a 4x10 set in the combo.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Keep a look out on Ebay for something decent - you need at least 300W preferably, and 8 ohm. Avoid the cheap new ones, they're crap.
Failing that, Lean Business often have bargains in Celestion or Eminence - all the cheap ones there are sold out at the moment, but they get new stock fairly often.

I will see if I can find a suitable 15" speaker around 300 watt.
