Best Cabinet for this 70's/80's metal

Best cabinet out of these for the sound in The God That Failed by Metallica, that kind of punchy metal

I think it's best to let us know what bass(s) you use . Also what head are you using. etc.

Headwise i use an Ashdown Little Giant 1,000 and bass is a P-Bass

I'd guess that is an SVT rig. VT bass and a fairly transparent cab should get you close with that head. PLaying hard and possibly a bridge pickup though. Playing very hard mostly, Newstead's technique came from not having an amp so needing all his volume acoustically.

Agreed, looking to the speaker to shape your sound so much is misguided IMO. Use a good valve amp/preamp or perhaps a tech21 BDDI or simmilar. Speaker wise you could do worse than check out my UL310 in the adds section it will destroy any of the cabs you list for pretty much any application.

When he learnt to play playing along with records, he didn't have an amp, thus he picks really hard.
