A trick I've done with my Bassman reissue: Disconnect two of the 
speakers. This does change the input impedance, but my understanding is 
that since the impedance goes up, this won't damage your amp. I've done 
it often with no harm (but Bassman amps are build like rocks anyway...any 
amp *designed* to run at 2 ohms better be well-built).

Single-speaker amps are fine for fairly small clubs or practice (with 
most bands)...but at a lot of gigs, you really improve sound dispersion 
through use of multi-speaker amps. I used to have a Fender Vibroverb 
reissue that sounded really good too...it was a 2X10" speaker arrangement.
