Does anyone on here have one? If you do... can you give me some more information about them? I can't find much, a lot of people even argue "they don't exist" which they do... they're quite rare and I have the opportunity to get a couple, hours away from me though. Are they good for bass as well as guitar? (can they hold up?)

You really have to ask this question?

Sorry, I was just messing with you.
I don't have a Marshall 4x15 and've never played through one. They're rare, as you say, and for good reason, they're huge. Unless you're getting 'em at an amazingly low price, it may not be worth it. If you play out often, consider that one'd be a pain in the ass to transport much less a couple of 'em. (Unless you've got roadies?)
I use a 2x15 for both guitar and bass and it sounds great. Two 2x15s'd sound even better. The equivalent of four 2x15s? You're playing really loud, eh?

Eight fifteens is a cool thing. Having eight fifteens in your house is not as cool.
But, my dream cab is a 4x15. Emperor?

Monolith used to make a nice looking one, but...then....shit happened.

a Marshall 4X15 isn't really that much bigger then a old style 4X12, and they didn't have big heavy modern speakers in them.. from the one I saw.. I'd say they are a bit more cumbersome then a ampeg 8X10 but not much heavier...
