Steve, thanks very much. Webers are definetly an option I hadn't thought of. That would be the highest cost of them all, at slightly above the Eminence. I may try the Celestions first, coming in at a significant savings with a "friends and family discount" in addition to the lowest MSRP, and likley a good lithmus test for several basses, and the Guild cab. For sure the Guild bass humbucker will be a good test for all. I have barely used the amp at all but if all goes well once shes in rotation, I would not rule out the Webers or a vintage pair of speakers later. The Eminence come highly recommended (even though they are best for vented cabs) and are lightest weight, but I will likley order the Celestions within a few weeks or so, if I do not get any red flags first. Really happy I asked, thank you for the suggestions. I'd maybe just get the Webers i suppose. may need to hunt down some sound clips. JBL just wants to sell me a 12 inch bass speaker for my car, it seems.
