My main question is, can a 50 watt bassman push a SVT 8x10 bass cab? How about a 4X10? Or do you need more watts?

Thanks!
If you want a guitar amp, the best thing you can do is find an old RI 4x10 Bassman, have the chassis gutted and re-fitted with the 5F6A ('59) circuit. Be sure they use Mallory 150 signal caps and not Orange Drops.
