I like Hawaiian Punch.

It's the most popular in the world. Leilani Kim says so, and I'm convinced that anything she says is true:

The SR is THE slap bass so at least you don't have to worry about that aspect of your rig (Alva may have sumthin to say about this tho').

Oh, nothing different, really! I'm extremely happy with my Bongo, but to me, ANY MusicMan model is a slap monster. The initial reason why I chose the Bongo over the StingRay and the Sterling was the 24-fret neck, but I dreamed of a StingRay from long ago (specially after seeing [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEtNg_QTi8o"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia] for the first time). If only had 24 frets, I thought. Mr. Scott Applegate, from EBMM customer service, was the person who introduced me to the Bongo after telling me that a 24-fret StingRay isn't feasible and the rest is history.

I understand your quest for input, but think about it...your question cannot be answered in any meaningful way.

My $0.02:

Different brands do sound different.

Adding a 4x10 will make your rig sound different than it does now.

Paying a lot for a big name brand might not give you what you want (Avatar cabs are very cool and very inexpensive in my experience, for example).

Is any of this useful to you? No. What you're asking is not IF your sound will change, it's HOW your sound will change.

Without knowing what the proverbial sound in your head is, it is not possible for anyone to tell you if it will give you what you're looking for, or even to quantify how it will change your sound. Especially over the Internet.

This is the problem with Internet forums. We can all wax rhapsodic about how great a piece of gear sounds, and try to come up with all kinds of wonderfully descriptive terms for it, but the bottom line is that it's all just TALK and means nothing because only you can decide if it's right for you, based on what you hear.

Rule of thumb: Smaller speakers (meaning 10s vs 12s vs. 15s vs. 18s) sound "tighter" than big ones because there's less mass to move back and forth, and bigger-volume cabinets can sound bassier than small cabinets. But there's a lot more to it than that, and you *cannot* tell how a speaker will sound by reading about it. You have to hear it.

Why not tell us if tweaking your EQ like almost everyone who's responded has recommended works? Have you tried this yet?

If you're dead set on buying gear, why not pick up a 4x10 from Guitar Center, try it, and if you don't like it take it back?
