help match cab with SWR studio 220...

so i was digging around in the garage and discovered an SWR studio 220 head that for the life of me i cant remember where it came from...

i'm gonna take it down and see if its good/fixable...

so if'n it is, i'm wondering what speaker enclosure to match it up with.

i'm plum stupid when it comes to all this stuff. i've always just played what was available.

currently i'm playing my fender jazz bass thru a Gk 300 and an swr 1x15 but they're not mine, time is running out on the use and i need to put some bucks up for a personal rig.

i'm not really excited about the current set up. i'm certainly not over excited about the current combo. not versatile enough. not enough midrange punch. kinda dull.

i just bought a christoper laminate with guts and a rev II

i'd like something that i could switch up on, but again, i'm a complete ignoramus when it comes to this stuff.
any suggestions?

thanks in advance
 
That amp should work fine with most any quality 8 ohm bass cab you run across. You'd be getting the max power out of your amp by either using a single 4 ohm cab or a pair of 8 ohm cabs used together.

Here's a link to serveral threads containing studio 220 info. You'll probably find serveral of these posts contain info about how diferent cabs ended up working out with their 220:
