The best Sunn bass amp

[Reverend Dirtkicker]

The best sounding sunn amp/cab set up I ever heard was a red faced Coliseum Bass being run into a 2x15 and a 1x15.  Fellow from Buzzov-en and later Weedeater used this setup, and god did he sound good.

I agree that the vintage 200S was a very nice little amp (I still own two), but I think the vintage, early version, Model T is far better! The "early version" did not have the MID SELECT switch on the front panel. This early version Model T has better tone control, more power, more versital (line out, impedace seletable) and can double as a great sounding guitar amp if you turn down the MASTER and turn up the BRITE channel volume.

I play the guitar and just recently bought a American Fender P bass and I want a good sounding amp to play it through but I am not shure witch Sunn bass amp would be good for me, It will need to be loud eneough to play with my band when we practice or gig.
I would like a vintaged amp like the Concert bass or Coliseum bass, I have heard that the 300 T is real nice but is $$$

I see you also play Guitar, and I play both Bass & Guitar.  I have a 2000S head which I've used for both Guitar & Bass, and I have been using my 2000S head mostly as a Guitar head.  I have a home made pedalboard, (Which consist mainly of "Fulltone" effects pedals) so I want something that maintains a warm, fat, & round sound, which the 2000S head does and is clean, but has character, and if I need a little more gain, I use my pedals for the sustain and drive sound.  I use a Mesa/Boogie 4x12 with Vintage 30's and with out any of the pedals on, I push the Volume on the amp, and I get a guitar sound very similar to Joe Waslh, when he was in "The James Gang" and also sound similar to some of the "Lynyrd Synyrd" tracks!  I also like this Amp for it's simplicity, which makes it an all around great amp for Everyone!
I also use it to run my pedalboard in stereo, with a Fender HotRod Deville, and the guitar tone comes through intacted, and not hidden or disguised by the effects.  Power wise, I cannot see me using all the Volume on it, say in a Club venue.  It's a punchy, warm, fat, and a very round sounding amp, perhaps that's because of the Quartet of 6550's, and the 2 large rectifier transformer's.  This is what al amps should sound like.  (I would however like to tryout a Model "T")

I hope this has helped with your Quest?
