I just picked up a 1200s that is a bit of a "fixer." Someone REALLY did a number on the tolex and the grill cloth. Does anybody know of sources for replacement material? I also found a 2000s bottom to go with it. I've owned a couple of 200s bottoms (one with the folded horn, and one with cardboard tubes for ports) as well as a couple of 215s bottoms. The cab is empty so I can't be sure of what I've got yet...does anybody here have much comparative info about the cabs I've listed? Also, I'd be curious of speaker recommendations. I'm picking up a pair of OLD D-140 baskets, so I can set them up anyway I'd like. Perhaps I should have them built like a 2225?
This will be my box for playing straight ahead rock and blues, probably with my Precision or Jazz.
Also (sorry for the length) how about amp mods? I owned a '71 Solarus once that we added 5x the power supply capacity, re-capped the signal side with hi-fi caps, and changed over to a solid state recifier. What a wonderful amp! I never should have sold it. The guys at Bass NW said it was the best sounding Sunn they had ever heard. Any takes on doing something similar to the 1200s?
I am REALLY looking forward to having a blazing Sunn rig again!
