I had a chance to crank up a b25 recently. Would never play bass through it cause it seems like it wouldn't be loud enough, but with a guitar it roars. Real Stones sounding clean and awesome as fuck with an OCD in front of it. Guy only wanted $375 for it. Being financially responsible and not buying it was painful.
B25s rule. Being financially responsible is grossly overrated.

Favorite (relatively) inexpensive bass heads. GO.
Vintage Ampeg is your best bet, particularly the V-4B – the prices are going up on them but if you can find them for $500 or less go for it. B25s are neat too, though possibly underpowered. For the more affordable stuff: Sunn Coliseum/Coliseum Bass/Coliseum 300. Sunn Concert Bass, Sunn Beta Bass. The Traynor YBA-1 is cool, though a YBA-1A (twice the power) is more sensible for bass purposes. Acoustic's 300- and 400-series heads are rad. I've heard good things about Peavey's Mark series. I'd go on but the prices are just gonna go up, hopefully this helps.
what is your favourite cab of alltime and why?
I've thought about this all morning (because what better do I have to do on Easter Sunday) and I really cannot narrow it down, so here's my take on pros and cons of some of my favorites.
+ In terms of being visually arresting, Emperor's gotta take the cake - not only because of the stained-wood-instead-of-tolex aesthetic, but also the sheer amount of possibilities and speaker configurations. Not to mention they sound nasty.- I would love one of them divided 6x12"s, but man, what a bitch to move. I'd sooner take a concert grand piano on tour. Probably cheaper, too.
+ Electric makes really nice-sounding, nice-looking cabs as well. Solid construction.- Also disarmingly expensive. Limited impedance options.
+ Never heard a Sunn cab I didn't like, especially their 2x15"s.- Vintage cabs with vintage speakers often have trouble handling the wattage of modern amps. Usually hard to carry as well; you end up with one shitty handle on one side or something.
+ For bass, Ampegs are hard to beat - especially if you reinforce the vintage stuff (B-25s, etc.) with higher-powered speakers.- Many are hard to transport. For example, 6x10"s are perfect, but the 8x10" "fridge" is a nightmare and 4x10"s aren't usually efficient enough for live settings. And the old oversized V-2 4x12"s? Forget about it.
+ I've got a Marshall 1960 hanging around the studio that's my go-to for guitar tracking. Nicely balanced, pushes some serious volume.- Super cliche.
