I've got a Marshall solid state 100 W model MG100HCFX head.

Can I safely run it through my vintage bassman speaker cabinet? (Marshall specs say minimum 4 Ohm for speakers). Can't tell what the bassmans speakers are rated.

Each time you post multiple threads about the same topic, we are going to arbitrarily give you a different answer. :lol:

The stock Bassman cab is for a 50 watt Fender head, so not sure that it can handle the 100 watts of the Marshall head. Check the speakers in the cab and see if they have been replaced with higher wattage speakers.

The Marshall amp can handle 4 ohms, but not sure if the speaker cab can handle 100 watts. :?:
