Bass Amp To Power PA?

Probably not all that well. It's only 150 watts a side at 8 ohms.
Maybe if you only need to amplify vocals, for a not so loud show.

if it has a "power amp in", then maybe, but at 150 watts/side it's pretty weak for PA.
you could however bridge it mono, at which point, 500 watts at 4 ohms would be OK for a pair of speakers on sticks in a bar.
again, you would want a "power amp in" or at least an "effects return", so you could run your mixer's output straight into the power amp, bypassing the bass amp's preamp and EQ sections.

I'm not even sure if you could bypass the built-in bass preamp. But the wattage is definitely not enough to power a PA.
