1 Ampeg SVT210AV cab with a drummer?

I just found one of these for a good deal (not as good as some of the guys in the Hot Deals thread) Will it hang 1 cab and a 200 watt head at a practice/small bar gig with a guitarist, singer and non-crazy drummer?

I thought this would be a little more powerful than say a 50 112 combo?

I've played many times in like 3000 square ft. Bars with my 200watt GK400RB and ADA210 cab and it's plenty loud enough. I played with same GK400RB and an SVT-15E and it was plenty loud enough too.

Thanks! I've used a 400RB head and SVT 15 with great results. Just sort of gambled ordering the SVT210AV and wanted to see if anyone successfully gigs with it.

i do. i play 50's-60's oldies rock with a medium drummer and it hangs very well with the micro vr on top. there are situations where it wouldn't, but as long as you don't boost the low end like a reggae bassist, it can get a good head of steam behind it.

Thanks! Nothing crazy; passive P-bass for bar pop/cover stuff.
