Re: 50 Watt Bass Amps..just some thoughts.

The Blackface Fender Bassman only has 2-6L6s which puts it well under 50 watts, but then the seales Cabinet and 2 12" Jensons kinda helped it out a bit.

>And this wattage thing is a lot of BS these days. I have been looking for a power amp for our PA. They say 1000 Watts but when you get down to it it comes out less then 100 watts per Chanel at 8 Ohms. Why advertise it as a what we called a "full gallon" back in my Ham Radio Days when it is more like a half pint?
