In the 70's I owned 2 x 15' Pevey cab, and a 300 watt Pevey amp head. Although I was mainly playing lead guitar on a Fender Twin (I still love and own--to this day), I used this other amp for when our bass player didn't want to bring his rig over to the house...
Man, I remember like it was yesterday, his bass would sound like: Donk-kah, Donk-kah, Donk-kah with no sustain what so ever LOL!!!
I grown in to liking the sound over time, but not anymore...
But, we made it work...
