bass amps usually have to have alot of wattage to compete with guitars and stay audible... sure you could match a 100w guitar amp with a 100w bass amp, but you wont really be able to hear the definition of the bass other than pure rumble. Heres an example... my 45 watt guitar amp drowns out my cousins 150 watt fender bass amp because his just sounds like mud against mine... go for higher wattage... so you can boost trebel without losing bass definition to cut out the mud.

theres a reason why popular orange guitar amps are 50-100 watts, and the bass amps are 200 watts...

I was very bemused as a youngster watching the Golden Girls when Blanche said she was going to "spank her fanny" I had visions of a geriatric vertical bacon sandwich red and bruised from being disciplined!!!

a 100watt Tube bass head is sufficent to keep up with my 50watt tube guitar head.

My bassist uses a Ampeg Vb4h which used are about 500ish

My old bassist used a 300watt tube bass head, and he could if he wanted to get louder than me by alot.

Also Id suggest in a 2x15 and a 4x10
