need advice

I have a bassman 100 head. I am planning on building a cabinate for it as i cant seem to find exactly what im looking for already made. I want to come pretty near the bassman sound. I dont want more than two 12 inch or 4 10inch. And bang for buck says eminence brand. I am having trouble figureing out which model will give the sound I want. They have so many models and the descriptions just dont do it for me. Any one with experiance with these please give input

Just to let you know that this amp only runs on 4ohm impedance and the speakers that I have seen being used with are 2x12

Try a hartke 410vx, they are cheap and sound good also.
Ampwares, also makes replacement fender bass cabs[2x12's,2x15's,etc]. I have an old dual ahowman cab with 2 x15's[the big one] that I usaully use with my 100 watt bassman head.

Assuming that's a silverfaced Bassman 100 (tube amp), we still need to know if you intend on using it as a guitar amp or a bass amp. And then, what exactly do you mean by "bassman sound"?

If you mean like a tweed Bassman, that probably won't happen, they're utterly different amps...

Cheers, Tim

I will be using it for guitar. I want a clean sound that maxed will have little or no distortion at all. I dont want to deep a bottom end like my model 94 twin and not quite as focused on treble as my peavey classic 50 410. Will mainly be used for country and older rock sounds. The amp head is indeed the 100 watt 1970 bassman head. It does want to see 4 ohm speaker load.

i know it wont match the over all sound of a tweed bassman what i mean is the over all frequency response. My peavey 50 410 seems more focused to the highes and upper mids and my twin really seems to do lows better. I want to know which eminance speakers would give i guess the most even full sound.
