Help choosing a bass cab, but not Eden!

[Bassmec]

My only tube amps are a 71 Marshall 50, Carlsbro 60TC and a Sound City 120....no SS amps bigger than 450 watts into 4 ohms.

I'm mainly concerned with using distortion and fuzz pedals.

Btw, I have a pair of Altec 15" alnico home speakers from the 60's....they have the built in 5" mid/tweet....should I try them for bass?

They sound like crap in the Altec home cabinets for HI-FI....thought about reconing them to bass or guitar speakers...very expensive for factory kits though.

The trick with using distortion and not smoking speakers is simple.
Never have more apparent loudness with distortion than you can get totally clean.
I would keep the Altec home audio speakers as they are, someone on the Lansing heritage site might want to pay good money for them to fix up or as spares.

I like Glockenklng for cabs.
Wayne Jones is also very good!

Two more great choices!

You know what blows?
When you blow out your speaker cab (Acoustic B410) and you have a gig 3 days later, what do you do?
Trade in a couple of basses and get one of these,
this cab sounds great and can take the brutality of a '51 P-bass and Peavey MkVIII amp.

Love it!
