Hey SUNN Experienced Bass Players / History Grads -
I pIayed a Fender Bandmaster with JBL 123’s many years ago and always loved the sound.
SUNN to me was always the KING period!
I now have had a SUNN 215B CAB for a few years – really good shape for its age (little grill problem) but OKAY - with the badge on the Front that says Loudspeaker Components by JBL”. I took the JBL’s them to be the Orange backed Fender labeled JBL D140’s – I think – put then in another cabinet. I got them for my son who never used it ad now plays lead.
I always thought this cabinet – real wood & with the way cool white Dual Horn Loading was something special. Now since I don't play bass probably need to sell it. I have looked to find what it should bring by having no luck as I seen various prices. So I need some Help! :
QUESTION: Any one know what year this cabinet was made? Do you know what the standard speaker/ ohms / power handling for this cabinet was if you did not it with the JBL’s? – Don't know how to track this one……..
I have a pair of CTS 15’s and really like their Big sound - but I have four of them in an old Acoustic 271 PA cabinet – had the old Atlas type horn up top n- (a bit dated ya think)?? - , but I hate to pull two out and have a mismatch. Back when I played - our bass played used and Acoustic dual 15 cab with these in it – always sounded good!
I also have a pair of Eminence Kappa L 15’s (I think – hard to determine because there is no model on it except the KAPPA and a bunch of numbers but I think I found what it is). Power rating says 600 watts RMS – seems huge to me!
What should I do to get the most out of this situation?
1. Put the cab on EBAY w the JBL’s to get the highest amount?
2. Put the CTS’s in the cab and sell it locally
3. Put the Kappa’s in the cab and sell it – HOW? – maybe this forum?
4. I still don’t know much this cabinet is worth. To me it's the coolest look and design I can remember, but is it worth more or less than a modern day “shrunk” particleboard piece of Junk??
5. I also have a Black widow – new coil – never used but think it is a PA version, but I don't want to have to buy another to dual this one.
6. How much are the JBL’s worth? They look & sound real good. Is the Orange Label more valuable?
Sometimes I think I'll just keep the cab and learn to play my Son's base!!!
Pls. advise SUNN guys……….. :
