sunn stage bass
« on: September 04, 2010, 10:40:18 am »
i had one of these combos for a bit about 5 or so years ago.  i don't even remember what happened to it, i know i sold it, but where or for what benefit i have no idea.  Reason for the thread is i've never seen another one of these on ebay, clist, anywhere.  Anyone seen one of these?

I've never seen one before, but I've known of their existence. It's a beauty!

Pretty rare amp. There was a short discussion a couple of months ago about a guitar version.

looking way back i have always been bummed that i never kept that amp. i bought it for 250 bucks i believe off of Ebay.  It was 50 watts, pretty simple sounding amp, but nowhere near the tone of the concert bass.  it was very flat sounding.  cool amp though, i played guitar and bass through it, but ended up selling it to scrounge up money to get mainly guitar amps.  Sold it to Cash Converters in Pottstown i believe in the year 2005 or so.

The Stage series amps use the same circuit boards as the Studio Lead and Studio Bass from the 1974 Sunn catalog. The cabinets and speakers were slightly different. The link below goes to a discussion on the Solid Stage Guitar forum where I posted a schematic and layout for the Stage Lead.
