It is fine at low levels but due to the open back design the bottom end is not as full as a closed back cabinet would provide, all else being equal.

Steve, it's basically a good "guitar" amp. The enclosure is not sealed, aka bass reflex cabinet, I don't think you would want to push a bass thru THIS cabinet.
There are too many other good combo's out there for you to consider.
