awesome, thank you guys!

I just can't stand playing without a limiter when I play bass. It's not always necessary when you play in standard tuning but I play in BEAD and can't turn my amp up loud if I don't use my limiter because the extreme peaks. And a limiter gives you more sustain too.

Hmmm I've been playing bass for a hell of a long time and never needed a limiter in any tuning. I have a feeling you may need to work on your picking technique.

Or use decent cabs. although I use valve amps which compress on their own now. High pass filter is probably a better way of saving cabs without altering your dynamics.

Avatar makes a pretty nifty two by twelve that's worth a look. Josh from Cerberus Rex uses two of them with a GK400RB and Kramer aluminum neck bass and it's pretty robust.

awesome, those look like like they are definitely in his price range. thanks!

let us know what you find out.

will do. seems hes lagging a bit on buying gear

I'm just bumping this thread, 'cuz I don't want to make a new one.
I'd like to get better speakers for my noname 4x10 cab and was wondering what you guys thought were worth checking out. I'm running a Peavey Mark 3 Bass head and a SC150B through it. Not at the same time, obv.

Speakers and cab need to be matched up, its rarely worth changing the speakers in a 4x10, because decent 10s are expensive, and you need 4 of them. Measure up teh cab volume and port, and can model them in WinISD.
