Decent buy or?

Hey, I saw the ad for that rig! Inland empire, right?
I remember looking up what the heck Bullfrog cabs are...

As far as cabs to buy, depends on your sound goals. I like the suggestion of keeping the current rig until you figure out what you like and don't like about it. Oh, there's a bassman 4x10 for cheeeeep close by. Let me know if you want a link for it.
 
Scope out the used avatar cabs @guitarcenter. Several 210's for $200 or less.. also spotted a b410 for $250.. if it's in working order I'd say you'd be hard pressed to beat the price.
That sounds good. Thank you!

It was listed in OC. I think I’m am going to hang tight with the cab it came with. Thanks for the heads up though.
 
If you can do a visual inspection, make sure that wiring or insulation can’t touch the cone. Those would give distortion at higher levels and are generally an inexpensive fix.

Otherwise, calculate internal cabinet size, port size and length, and post the results. A lot of folks on talkbass (not including me) can give good suggestions for a driver that will work well in the box given those dimensions.

That might be not blown, yet, so stop doing that!

First figure out if it is blown or you have unrealistic expectations. Did you turn down some bass knob a little? Do you have any other cabs similar to compare?
I just play with everything at 12:00 just noticed when turn up - the low notes made a blown speaker type sound. Unfortunately I do not have anything to compare.
 
So - I sold the Bullfrog and picked up this really nice SOB in excellent condition. So far I’m loving the sound.
