What Cab Is This? (matter of curiosity)
« on: May 06, 2010, 11:05:11 am »
I'm too far away from this to consider buying.

Besides, a couple days ago I added a  215S  to my meager Sunn collection. :-D

But,  I'm wondering what cab this is: 2x15 with a single port all the way on the bottom ? :?

It's a Fender-era Sunn. I honestly wasn't blown away from what I've heard come from Fender in the last two or three decades.  This didn't break the mold.

Yes, that's the Fender Sunn Model 215. I have one. They're not terribly heavy, yet seem solidly built. I've lined mine with carpet padding foam on the back and sides, and replaced the drivers with JBLs. I think it sounds pretty good, but I wasn't impressed with the original drivers. I think it would benefit from lowering the tuning, as well.
