I've played on a (cheap) 15' on which the slap didn't sound quite as "low" as it doen on my 410. I've had 410's on which it sounded horrible and I've had 410's on which it sounded great.
Dit play a 212 a few times and sounded good also. Also got a decent sound out of one of my friends tube amp + 215 (only decided not to go with his ric

).
There is more than one good slap tone and I think cabwise you might want to do some experimenting before settling upon what would be your dreamsound. And if that would be an 18'... so be it :').
