Need info on Bass Cab
« on: October 13, 2010, 12:38:26 pm »
hello guys,
new to the forum, i dont currently own any sunn eequipment but i found a used cab i am thinking about purchasing, and thats why im here.  the owner claims its a pre- fender cabinet. its a 4x10, bottom ported, volume controlled horn, so he says.  i guess im just wondering what the details on this cab are? how can i verify it is what he says it is, i.e. is there a date code? what speakers should be in it? i assume that varies based on exactly how old it is.  i am going to guess its late 70's or early 80's but really have no idea... it could be post fender for all i know.  and if it is, should i care?  i like fender gear,both my basses are american made fenders.  anyway i really dont know much about it except i need to replace my cabinet i just sold in a package deal and this is in my price range and interesting to me becasue of sunns history.  i play hard rock music through an SLM SVT Classic. if i decide to purchase this,  i would be coupling this cab with a single 15.

thanks a lot

Sunn didn't make many 4x10 cabinets and most of them were intended for guitar. Post pictures front and back to see if anyone recognizes it. What are the dimensions of the cab?

   Hi there,that looks like the 4 x 10" cab that goes with the "new" 1200S,which is a 2 rack space,1200 watt bass amp from the Fender era,not a bad cab actually,good luck,Mel.

Yup, neither pre-Fender nor post-Fender (there are no post-Fender Sunn products, by the way). That's a Fender-era Sunn bass cabinet. Model 410H, I think. Good cabinet. I have one, and I like it quite a bit.

sorry about that, i meant post-fenders purchase of the sunn line, i.e. a fender made sunn.  did some digging and it seems like a decent cab. i think the seller is asking a bit too much given the screen is bent and the tolex is trashed on every inch of the thing.  i made him a low ball offer, we'll see what he says.  thanks for the input guys
