FS: 1973 Coliseum Bass

For sale: a 1973 Coliseum Bass in extremely good condition.

It was tested/inspected August 30, 1973, and is easily the strongest Coliseum Bass amp I’ve come across. When I turn the volume to 1, it scares my dogs; when I turn it to 2, it scares me! This unit has absolutely no issues – even the side handles are in decent condition.  I am only selling it because I found a 1971 CB to match my 1971 118V cabs - and know from past experience that I really don't need two or three of these at a time.

I can take more photos and e-mail them to you if interested. Note: This listing is for the amp ONLY; the speaker cabinets are not going anywhere.

This is a robust example of Sunn's top-of-the-line solid-state amplification from the early 1970s. And you can see in the photos on the Craigslist ad it looks good, too. Asking $500 plus shipping.
