I'm thinking about purchasing an MB800. What bass cabinet would you guys recommend for this head? I currently own a Eden Metro and a Thunderfunk 550 w/ 2 Aggie GS112's. I play mostly fingerstyle and some slap with my church. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. |

GK works pretty well with most cabs IMO. Right now I use a pair of Bag End cabs with various GK heads. I also use a Mesa Powerhouse 412 for big gigs. They all sound great.

The G.K. MB-800 will be driving my two Avatar Neo 210 cabinets stacked as a vertical 410. |

I'll bet you could get one for a really good price. And for clean, punchy, slaptastic tone, I'll bet it would rule.

If you care to do some reading, BassGear did a review of that head+those cabs some time back.
