By all means! Back in the 70s I used a Model T exclusively for bass and it sounded great! I played it through either a Sunn 2x15 or a Sunn 4x15 cabinet. In fact, back then I recall that almost all the guys I knew who used the Model T used it for bass. Again, it's a great sounding bass head.

Good luck!

I never much cared for my second generation T as a bass head, until I did a few of the mods. Specifically, I cut the wire that reduces the gain above 8 on the master, and bypassed the mid boost so that it's zero when the knob is at zero. Now, I love it!
