Sunn rigs of doom

[doomedfuzz]

You bought that?? You live in Portland?? Let's put our A212s to work!

Indeed! It was up on Craigslist last October, and I bought it for $500. At the time the tubes were only 2 weeks old, all JJ's - 4 x 12XA7's and 2 x KT88's. He also had an internal bias pot installed at the same time he had those tubes put in and biased. Needless to say, I got a damn good deal.

Are you in Portland now, or are you still in down in Salem?

I have a chance to buy one of those for $375 in excellent shape (A212). I guess I should go put it on layaway, its at my favorite used gear store.

here's an ruff cut/edit from my last jam. some cut are strange but it's just a start for building the structure.

we will record it straight at the next session...there's no lyrics for now but my screamer will write them accordingly to the structure...

My "new" rig.

Got the Sunn Concert Bass about a month ago, picked up the Ampeg 8x10e last week ($450 almost new!). And yes the head is resting on the edges of the foot cups on the cab, damn you Ampeg!



Working on getting a Sunn Concert Lead *again* and a pair of Marshall Lead 1960B cabs.

Nice rig! you've got yourself a great start! you might need en shelf back there or put the head aside cause it's gonna fall with the bass getting out of this monster. My Solarus head did a 90 deg spin the first time I put it on top of the 2x15 cab! I found some new big rubber feet to fix that...! got low-end...! hehe. I should have done a youtube of it...!haha

[Walt-Dogg]

Thanks!

Haha Oh jeez. Yeah I'm gonna figure out something, but for now it's not going to be very high volume anyways so it can wait til I get the perfect solution.

I can see that the rubber feet on your head looks better than the one I had.

mine were 40 years old, small hard plastic feet! wouldn't hold anything!

[Walt-Dogg]

On mine they're a very hard rubber and slide on the tolex of the Ampeg cab. I had a Concert Lead that had no rubber feet so that was a bummer.

[chev]

yikes no rubber feet! not good at all!

yeah, and if rubber gets old, it becomes hard plastic too...no good.

Since I found an electronic warehouse where they sold pack of 4 heavy duty rubber feet for 2,50$ CAD I just bought the all stock and put them on all my heads and cabs too...!

I took this tonight.

Loving the artwork, but I don't think I would personally put them on the cabs.  I've never been a fan of art on cabs, but they're cool designs none the less.

[snarzdar]

I hear ya. I wouldn't do anything on the Tolex, but the screens are easy to replace. I'm not to worried about it. I don't plan on selling them any time soon.

Chev, how does this sound?

Getting a plywood board the fits the top of my 8x10 and putting rubber feet that match the cups in the cab on it then putting my Concert Bass on top of it and somehow finding a way a way it attached to the board without altering the amp.

hi,

usually there's suppose to be a big metal handle in the back angled section.

you could put let say a few layers of bike tubes with zip-tie holding it to support the back of the amp and give it some grip and cushion and put 2 new rubber feet on the front of the amp by using the original hole of the present rubber feet. how's that.

or use the handle to support the plywood in the back?

I would have to see one cab in real to make sure it fits but maybe you got some hints to start?

some pics from the side would help to better know the depth of the cab vs the amp...

perhaps some beta bass head users could help you better on this because I never saw one in real so it's hard to guess the size of it.

but I'm pretty sure you'll find a way, you're on the right forum to ask!

you could always post your question in a new thread with some pics, there's a lot of helpful people here!

good luck!

Interesting.

Well the only reason I'm asking is because I would rather not maim a Concert Bass in almost perfect condition by changing the position of the rubber feet on the bottom of it.
