Put a built-in power attenuator on it!!!!(make it go down to 1/2 watt or at least 5 watt then I can get one 
)
Guess what was on the today show for weather this morning: Eau Claire

Alternatively, you could add a three way switch (off, 50, 100) so that it either uses all four power tubes (when in need of sparkly high volume clean tones or bass guitar/baritone) or 2 power tubes (when in need of more amp overdrive). You could even have it foot switchable or have two circuits or channels, one using 50 watts which tended to be darker (like a Bassman) and a second that used 100 watts that used a brighter slightly different circuit (something closer to the normal channel of a twin reverb (only using fender amps 'cause they're the only ones I know approximately and that I've studied the circuits of)) and even add a 'dark' switch to roll off some highs and mids and boost the bass a bit for a more baritone/bass sound without having it overdrive on 50 wimpy watts. The only thing would to make sure that when you picked speakers for the amp that you got some that could handle bass-y tones without having all the problems related to passing a bass through a guitar amp.
On the other hand, as was posted above, you could incorporate an attenuator (though I have in experience with these and have no idea if they have any adverse effects on the sound when used)
Just my two cents

BITS HAVE ARRIVED!
Look at em allll!
Giant resistors!
Gianter caps!
I really like bigger compnents. easier to work with.

At this stage i prefer to farm out as much work as possible!
Also, box plans: rather than the boring little patch of silver fabric or whatever, like on afender head, I'm hoping to frame up a little screen printed design with the name and whatnot. And cover said cab in burlap, or something else fucking rough, cheap, and brown, and shellac the fuck out of it.
