In my experience, the tonal quality of fifteens for bass mostly depends on the cabinet. Two cab's in particular I didn't care for at all for stand-alone where the Peavey 115BX-Scorpion and a Avatar B115. Both where mushy alone but great mated with a 2x10. I've played through many 1x15" combo bass amps over the years and managed to get a decent sound out of most of them.
For stand-alone 15" bass cabs I dig Eden and Ampeg SVT cabs. Not mushy but big and articulate.
Chime in with your favorite 15" standalone bass cab's, folks...
