Members Aaron SS Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 New Bass Amp Day ) ) ) - Vintage Sunn Concert Bass A craigslist impulse buy that was too good of a deal to pass on. Caught my eye because there's almost never decent gear on my local craigslist and I've never tried any sort of Sunn amp. The guy who sold it to me bought it new back in the day (couldn't remember the exact year - any idea how to date these?) and gigged it for years before retiring it for a boogie rig. He also showed me his keeper stash of gear that was pretty killer (old fender's, marshalls, and gibsons). Anyway, the Sunn's super loud and very clean, takes pedals really well. I need a better bass cab/speaker to really put it through its paces but my Carvin LB70 > Woolly Mammoth > Sunn > 1x12 Ear Candy was pretty massive sounding.

Members martha_KH Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 If you flip let me know. They are great and super loud for what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted March 2, 2012 Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 I approve. One of the biggest gnarliest sounds I've ever gotten out of my gear was Woolly Mammoth > Moog LPF > Concert Lead & 4x12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aaron SS Posted March 2, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2012 http://www.monolith-loudspeakers.com/cabinets.html too bad this was an impulse buy in itself so I don't think I can justify the purchase. Good to know for the future though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 http://www.monolith-loudspeakers.com/cabinets.html Duuude. I only vaguely knew about them before, but am now looking into them a bit more. The BLKARM may very well take the place of the Bergantino NV610 for my next bass rig. I'm only seeing positive responses, and Wade is very personable and just a good guy in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Those old Sunn SS amps are some of my favorite amps... period. The Beta-Lead is my holy grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members houseofglass21 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have a Sunn Concert Lead which is basically the same thing as the Concert Bass. We use it for bass in my band and it sounds bad ass. Really powerful amp for bass. Sounds good on guitar too of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aaron SS Posted March 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2012 Update: Just as I was thinking about selling this because I didn't want to sink too much money into my bass rig by buying a new cab I find a Sunn 2x15 on my local CL - I'll have it Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
