Facing facts

[Isaac]

Time for me to face some uncomfortable facts.

I'm not getting any younger. Big, heavy cabinets are getting to be too much to handle. Same with amps.

I'm not likely to be playing guitar in any bands again. (Bass is all I play these days.)

When I play bass, I usually go straight to the PA.

I need more space in my house.

What all this comes down to is that I expect to be getting rid of some of my larger and heavier Sunn gear. A 200S cabinet, a Sceptre cabinet, a Model 215, two 410S cabs. Probably a Model 410H and the open-backed 2x12 that came with the Solarus after they split the combo into a head and cab. A few heads, but I think I'll make sure they work first.

I plan on keeping my 200S amp and one cab. Maybe the Sentura II head.

I'll be sad to see them go, but they take up so much room, and I never gig with them anymore.

I feel where you're at Isaac. I've downsized to my 2000S head and cab and the 1x15 that I built for myself and that is it for bass. I'd likely part with the 1x15 if someone offered my close to what it is worth. In my heart of hearts I'd like to get your 200S head and cab if you were going to let them go, but realistically I have no need for those either. The 2000S is more than enough power for me and the 200S is duplicating some of that range. That said, I think the 200S cabinet sounds better than the 2000S cabinet....a little more balanced.

Hope when you are trying to sell that you can get what you want for them all!

Thanks, Greg.

My 200S and cab are the two pieces I'm sure I'm keeping, at least for now. I still use the cab regularly, though not for gigging. I do have a second cab that never gets used.

I have to do something, though. I have inherited the family piano, and need room for it. The second 200S cab and Sceptre upright 4x12 are taking up space where it needs to go.

I'm sure whenever and whatever you decide to sell, you'll be able to find buyers. The cabs are a little harder because they are large, and a lot of modern players aren't interested, but maybe with the reboot of Sunn, some interest will come from that.

Good luck finding space! I have a new house since I saw you last with much more room, but I don't have room for a piano, though it would be nice. Maybe someday.
