« on: February 27, 2008, 01:09:43 pm »

Looking for a "Fender" issue Sunn 2x15 Cabinet...
Actually, looking for a beater cabinet... I don't care how ugly it is!

Let me know if you have one or where I might find one...

THANKS!

Honestly...

I'm going to remove the speakers and make it into a 3x12 cab... already have one beater Sunn 2x15 I'm going to do it to, but want two 3x12 cabs.
Bottom line, it will end up being cheaper for me to get the end result I want...


THANKS!

dc10bass; are you going to leave the bottom port in? What speakers are you thinking about using?

I ask because the newer 215 cabinets have been designed using modern T&S parameters and modeling techniques as opposed to the older cabinets which were designed for size more than anything else. I would put some thought and research into the speakers I would use with the Fender era cabinet.

Then again...go for it and let us know how it turns out. Some of the most fun I have had has been trying new configurations, speakers, cabinets and amps together and seeing what they sound like.

Well, I was going to remove the bottom port...

My logic was that the dimensions for a sunn 3x12 cab is;
H 42.5
W 24
D 15

...and a "Fender" Sunn 2x15 is;
H 41
W 25.5
D 17

To me, it seems so close that it would work.
"basiklybass", You build speaker cabs, correct? What are your thoughts?

I was planning on using the same Celestion speakers that are in the "Fender" Sunn 4x12 cabs.
I already have two 4x12 cabs and like how they sound... I'm using a Sunn Coliseum Lead into them.
I already have a Sunn Coliseum Bass going into two vintage Sunn 1x18 cabs.
...Yes, I'm building an early to mid 70's Entwistle Sunn wall of Thunder. I'm in a WHO tribute band out of Detroit.
So far, it sounds AWESOME!
I already have the Coliseum 880, just need two 3x12 cabs.

Thanks again for the input!
Curt

You might look at this cab located in Chicago.  The price is good...

BASTARDS!

I called Music Go Round... they still had the 215 cab.
Talked to a guy there who said I could place it on a 24 hour hold before I put a deposit down.
Called back in less than 24 hours to pay the deposit... THEY SOLD IT! :x
I would have put the deposit down when I called the first time but didn't have my wallet... but I was told I had 24 hours,
so I thought I was fine...

Anyone else know of any leads for a "Fender" issue 215 Sunn cab (any condition)... send them my way.

Thanks guys!

Haaaaa...

No, at work... on break for lunch and had cash on me, no cards.
After talking to the guy from MGR I didn't think there would be an issue... I did the same thing with some Sunn gear at a Columbus store with better results.
...they actually held it for me there.

There's one on the Toronto Craigslist if you're willing to venture into the Great White North.
