There are these almost everywhere. Prices are all over the map but I still see them going for less than 400.00.

Patiently Waiting For The Next British Invasion
I had one it sounds horrible
I bought a 70's Fender Musicmaster bass amp to play guitar through. I haven't plugged a bass in yet. But this thread got me curious, which led me to this thread, FENDER MUSICMASTER BASS AMP
When I get home in the beginning of April, I will try it. 12-15 watts and it is light and pretty small. Like I said, I haven't played a bass through it, so i can't comment on the sound yet.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Although the Ampegs, the H&K Bass Master, and the Frenzel have internal loads, so you can run the DI or preamp out into your powered speaker, and leave the speaker out unconnected without frying your toobz.
Thans for the answer. Im planing to buy a pf 50 to use to my powered speaker. But i will use a tube pedal instead.
Fair enough. In that case, there are almost too many good tube pedals/preamps to name
I'm thinking about making the jump on one of those Frenzels. They seem perfect.
A pf50 little tube amp that can run without a cab is effectively a bigarse tube pedal that can also run a cab.
Short answer is yes to a select few some and no to the rest except you don't use the speaker out, you use the line out.
his space is virrrry sterile-plain looking, but, of all color combos, why pink and green?
compared to a Fender Mini '65, sure, but he asked about cheap tube amps. A PF20T can be bought with two weeks' McDonalds wages. These are the bottom of the barrel for tube amps, regardless of size. There's also the SWR Baby Blue, Sadowsky SA200, Heritage B15N, and stuff from Demeter, Glockenklang, and Eden.

Wish I still had mine. I used to gig with it! Cost me $65. 20 watts, 1-15".
Some people like them , I don't.
Had one for about a week. The open back makes for weak low end. The amp has an unusual circuit with a small transformer between the preamp and power amp instead of a tube stage. The single tone knob doesn't give much EQ power. Prices keep rising because it's "vintage", it's Fender and it can be modded for guitar cheaper than buying a Princeton instead.
It's been discontinued for a while so it isn't common in Europe either but you can find it.
Actually this thread gave me the bug and I'm biding on one right now.
Annnnnnd score !
I regretted selling this one.
