I haven't quite got to the cabinet stage yet. Just been researching the heads.

I don't think a 15 would cut it in a bar, depending on the size. There may be some more experienced giggers out here that could answer that. As for the basement, the 30watt combo at 4 was set perfect to jam in my basement with vocals and drums.

With all the talk of getting the most of a tube by cranking it, I'd rather have a 15 or 18 cranked to 7 or 8 than a 30 at 4. However, I will never need my amp for gigs.
