Yep, I have the 1x15 version. It measures 22" wide, 20" high, and is 10" deep at the top, 11" deep at the bottom.

Also, one of my favourite amps is a tiny Traynor 2x8" solid state combo (open back), TS something or other, sounds a lot better with a bari than with a regular guitar.
I have a XXX 2x12 open backed combo that sounds decent with a bari, but closed back cabs will always sound better for lower tunings, hence why there are no open backed bass cabs.

What I'm saying is that open-back amps/cabs can sound awesome with a bari. If you're arguing that an open back amp/cab would sound even better if it were closed, I don't disagree.

I'm starting to think I should just sell off the DB and buy a low wattage head...

I love the amp for my jazzy and mustang, but I feel like I'm not treating their big brother bari' with the respect he deserves.
