Cabinet suggestions....

I'm using genz benz 12's and love the sound. I play mostly classic rock too. Although I have been gassing for a Glasstome Lil G (2-12 cab in small box)
I Love my avatar cab. I bought a 4x10 from them a year ago and it sounds fantastic and has worn well on the road. Plus their customer service and price is excellent. I spent about 1/2 of what I was going to have to spend on a cab with similar specs from Aguilar or Ampeg.
The newer Neo Cabs have come a long way. And are now a lot more reliable and have a great tone. Check out the Epifani Cabinets, specifically the UL series. I love my 3-10 UL cabinet. Very efficient and great sounding and 1800 peak watt ratings, and only weighs 57 lbs. Couple that with a Schroeder Dual 12" cabinet the 1212L, weighing 43 lbs. Both stack nicely together and can be at home in the largest venues. Smoking sound too.
thanks for all the suggestions Im heading down to a local bass shop once my cab sells to check these bad boys out!
The 8 ohm Fender Bassman 410 Neos are rated at 1000W Program, 500W Continuous, and weigh under 55 lbs. Use one or two, as needed. Love mine!!!
Hey guys!! I ended up going with a hartke 4x10 xl. It wasn't my first choice but sam ash gave me a killer trade in price if i bought new at their store. Their stock was limited and after trying a what they had i decided to go for the xl. Any thoughts on this combo with the SVT II head?? poor choice? i feel like im not getting the fullness when it comes to highs but i was using an amp twice as big so i didn't expect it to sound better really.... should i return it for something they carry or should i stick it out? its not a horrible sounding rig by any means definately the best combo i tried. they had some of those crappy portaflex ampegs a beat up goliath III 4x10 and an assortment of strange sounding hartke's. Let me know whats up i may be able to order off their website if there are much better alternatives within a simular price range. Thanks so much you guys I love this community more and more each day!!!!
I don't, but if you search for svt-II cab, one I found was ... http://www.talkbass.com/threads/tub...p-with-my-svt-ii.1102752/page-3#post-16387620
The hlf is darker (bassier, less midrange/highend) sounding from what I have read. So, depends on what kind of tone you're going for ...

The new Fender Neo stuff is sweet. However, he'd definitely want to use two, since like all all-tube SVTs, the II np isn't designed for an 8 ohm load.
ill check it out. unfortunately sam ash kinda sucks in terms of cab selection, but hey they gave me 400$ for a 20 year old cab! im not complaining. This 4x10 xl i have at the moment is actually growing on me a bit it just doesnt seem like im getting a full response spectrum. Its an 8 ohm as well.
