Members anothertxn Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hello there everyone. I'm looking for assistance in choosing a cab. I'm in the process of purchasing Catphish's Sunn 300T to be my main amp, and I plan on still using my HLF 4x10 for my highs, but I need recommendations for a 4 ohm 1x18 to handle all my nutty noise and low end. I have a budget of $500 to $800. I've looked at PA subs and such, but I'm much more interested in a bass cab is at all possible. I seem to have fallen into a gap in terms of products. On the one hand, you have some lower end gear at around $300, and on the flipside you have the Accugrooves, great cabs that just ask for way too much in terms of cash with my budget. Any help would be appreciated. Three other side questions:1) Could you recommend some replacement pickups for my MIA jazz that would maintain the growl but at the same time cancel out the noise I have so many problems with when I use distortion? Budget = $200 or so. 2) Does it really matter what I use for a crossover? I can put about $300 in to one, but I'd like to save as much as possible there. 3) Will I need a poweramp to hit the 1x18 with sufficent wattage to keep my low end at the same volume as my highs? Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members speddling Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 I used a Yamaha 1x18 PA sub along with a 4x12 guitar cab loaded with EV drivers for a long while.... made a few guitarists {censored} themselves. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy on Saturday (the bass player that took my spot, but that's another thread ) and he was playing a US jazz with EMG's - the good ones, not the Hz's or whatever. He was playing a Trace head into an Ampeg 410. I really liked his sound - gritty, but pretty compressed by the Trace. I know some on here don't think much of EMG, but he says they are so much quieter than the Fender Lace pups he ripped out. After hearing his bass, I'd try out EMG's myself.
