Can the Bassman "50 be used or Bass in a smaller club?

I can't give an absolute answer but I used one with a 2 X 12 back in the early 70s. This was with a jazz trio (alternating on bass and guitar, depending on the tune), a keyboard player/singer and a drummer with a light touch.

In that context, in small rooms with say 50 people, the 50W Bassman was enough. For a noisy bar or loud drummer/guitarist, you'll probably need to mic it. They have a great sound, so if you have a mic option, stick with the Bassman anyway.

I'm not too worried about the power, just the open back. Back in the day I had a bassman 50 w (?) head and 2closed X12 cabinet and it was fine. I'll have to try one at GC. I never played in loud bands so maybe......

Thanks for the input
