I have a Bassman 250/210. I use a Geddy with it most of the time but I ran across a 5 string bass I'm considering. The 5 string bass is an Ibanez SRX505 "active". My question is, will the Bassman's 2x10" handle a 5 string like the SRX505? I'm asking because I never tried a 5 string. I don't know if I need 15" speaker or if the Eminence 2x10 are ok to use. I don't want to blow anything up .
I know this is a Fender site but the bass I'm looking at is a pretty good deal. The Geddy is the "main" bass. Thanks.

:D Hey DJ, the amp will handle the lows without doing damage. The only thing that you would notice between the 10's and a 15 would be that the 15 will give you more of the room shaking lows than the 10's, but the tens will work. The best way to tell would be to try the bass in your amp.

I guess if I cut back on the "lows" a bit it should be ok. I got the SRX today, I'll try it out soon. I don't play at high volumes here at home anyway. I'll get to take it easy on it. That's the last thing I need is to blow the combo up. I just got it about a month ago.
Btw, I'm really a Fender guy, the Ibby is just priced right. I usually use a Geddy Jazz and a Standard Jazz(MIM). Thanks.
