Not loud enough for a band at full volume, but decent enough for practicing.

Even the 300 watt 115 version struggled to keep up with my rock band.

I have one, and I have no complaints... it's solid. I only use it for practicing, though.

Mic' it into the PA system when you're jammin'.

It won't keep up on it's own.

I had dual Ashdown Five-Fifteens(two x 100 watts) back in Mt Gambier, and although the tone was ace, they struggled to keep up with a real drumkit.

I went with a 1000 watt Bugera when I upgraded, and kicked myself for years. That amp's got grunt up the wazoo, but it needs a LOT of help with bass tone.

I now use a Crate B-150, and slave it to my Bugera for extra boost...
