sunn amp on honda tv commerial
« on: April 21, 2009, 07:05:01 pm »
hi sunn guys...was watching tv and this honda commerial came on..the set up was people were outside and it was going to be an outside concert. the stage was in a field. the camera backs up and there is a guy on stage and a marshall amp behind him. the camera pans slowly to the left and there she is. a sunn amp right out in front. only saw the commerial twice but it's there. now i live in mass. so i don't know if this commerial ia aired across the country so kepp an eye out. it's nice to see a vintage sunn on tv.   it looks like a 200s but you guys with the high def's can confirm....enjoy....smiles    Bob

OLI, i thought it had three pots but with a standard tv, they looked a little blured.that's why i thought the guys on this site that had a high def tv could get a closer look without getting up out of their chair to see it better...what caught my eye first was the handle on the cab...i daid to myself....that looks like a sunn handle....naw...it couldn't be....but. it might..sooooo the 2nd time it came on i was right on top of the tv and ya, it's a sunn..did look like a 200s head because the guy had a guitar amp on the other end of the stage and if the producer wanted a rather genuine stage set up with the amps..he would have to go with what was needed to get the job done...hey ! it was cool to see it,,hope the other guys on the site get a chuckle out of the commerial...who know's, it could be the producers own amp.....go SUNN !

It's a Sunn for sure.  The shot pans from a Marshall over to the other side of the stage and it sure looks like a 200S or similar cab and the head did have 3 pots, I believe.  Pretty cool to see it in a Honda commercial.
Sunn 2000S bass head with (2) 2x15 cabs with JBL speakers.  Fender Jazz bass Special is primary bass with a 61 Hofner Cavern Bass as backup.  Also have an Ampeg B-15n flip top amp as well.

There is a different Honda commercial playing down here in Texas. Thanks for the YouTube link. That's definately a 200S and cab except you can't see the JBL domes.

I used to carry a Sorado (same size as 200S) cabinet around in the back seat of a 63 Volkswagen Beetle.

Wow, that's no small trick!  Back then I hauled mine in the backseat of a Mercury Comet, but it least it had four doors.

I somehow found a way to get a 2000S head and 200S cab into a VW Scirocco hatch and not collapse the suspension.  Lifting it out.....ouch!

Hi,

I think it's great, Sunn "pops up" quite often. I bought two german guitar/bass magazines last mouth: One got a special with Mountain in it. They discribed the used SUNN amp as very famous. And the other was a test of an 2x15" bass box: "The reference are the 2x15"  from the legendary company called Sunn."

I can fit a 200s and cab in a 2006 Scion Xa - someone should start a topic on what's the biggest rig smallest car combo people have actually tried. Let's see a smart car and an Acoustic 360 - not.
