First off, I play a peavey 5 string bass into a peavey Windsor 100w head. I am getting great tone it's just a little lacking in te low end
My cabs were built for guitar use but I threw eminences in there and they do quite well. I'd like to try some different speakers though maybe some with some bite? I like lots of low mids but the midrange growl is very important too.
High power handling is a must. I'm thinking no lower than 75w per speaker
I guess my question is: are there any models that fit my sound requirements and will also handle large frequencies and low strings.
Any help would be appreciated
Some of my favorite guitar amps are the Tweed & Blackface Fender Bassman amps. You're going the other way ... playing bass through a guitar rig ... cool enough!
When you start talking "midrange growl" ... and large power handling ... I'm thinking Liberator. Not a traditional bass speaker ... but sounds perfect for your unique situation!
