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

Those old Sunns will kick but with the best of them, including the so called 300W "modern" amps.

>I mention this.. every situation is different. every club is different, amount of bodies enjoying/absorbing the sound is different. Flooring may be different. soooo i recommend a minimium of 200 watts. efficient speakers. like JBL D140's SHOULD be able to handle a small room. even 4-10 if efficient speakers are used should handle this. NOW.. the real part of the equation is what your going up against. If you have Ginger Baker, or some similar type drummer, with an Eric Clapton and a full marshall stack w/100 watts, your going to need something larger!!
