It depends on a few things,...What type of band do you play in & how many Guitar players are in the band,what size rooms will you be playing.....Also is your Drummer hard hitting & are you going to be going through a P.A. system......The Rumbe 75 should be enough though if you're going through a PA but it's nice to have the extra headroom so I'd go with a Rumbe 150 or 350,... maybe you can find a slightly used one from Guitar Center. & don't forget Fender is giving rebates until Sept 2. We also need Linin to chime in once again as he owns & plays through a Rumble 75... :)

If you absolutely have to get the Rumble 75 and still have your Orange 50 watt, you could slave the two together and maybe stack them, if they'll fit. It will give you some extra juice and with the amp stacked, you'll hear it better. I've done that in the past with some borrowed amps that were lower wattage and it worked fine. It's better than nothing. But if you can swing getting a bigger amp, then I'd go for that, instead.

I bit my lip and went with the 150 got a good price on a barely used one you think it will do small bars without being mic'd? P.s. 80s style metal had drummer

It will probably be fine, but if you still have the Orange 50 watt, you can still slave it with the Rumble for extra juice and stack it on top. All you have to do is plug a cable from the line out of one amp into the input of the other and plug your bass into the input of the amp that has the line out being used. Just adjust all of your controls accordingly. This should work fine, in case you need to do so.
