Coliseum Bass and friends

my current home studio rig (overkill). Coliseum Bass into a 215 with Peavey Black Widows and a Science Street Sweeper into a 412 with WGS Reaper and Reaper 55Hz.

bonus pics of my old live bass rig and Ampeg V4 3/4 stack (212 has Eminence Swamp Thang and Texas Heat, 412 has EVMs and Ted Weber Ghosts).

Concert Keyboard

Has anyone used a concert keyboard for bass? I was wondering how it sounds. I just got this one and it needs servicing.

It’s not much but it’s mine

The Sunn power amp was rehoused, and the 4x10 used to be a combo but someone took the amp out long before I got it

The EAE model fet acts as the preamp

First Piece

It ain’t the fanciest piece of SunnO))) gear. But it’s my first. And I’m sure it’s only the beginning of this rabbit hole.

Red Fang is running Sunn Beta Minis live

Unsure if this is relevant info for anyone, but I’m at a Red Fang concert and they have 2 of the new Minis on stage instead of their usual big ones (or maybe even used Hillbishes for a while).

Sunn Beta Mini Test

Made a quick improv jam with the Beta Mini today. There aren’t a ton of demos of this amp out there yet, so I figured I’d post one here.

I’ve got a Sunn SB-160 Bass blended into the mix, but all the drive is coming from the Beta Mini.

Things get a little sloppy halfway through after I kicked on a delay and lost the tempo a bit, but whatever... part of the fun of improvising.

Just scored this real clean vintage Sunn 1x18 folded horn cab w/ original Altec speaker from a church

Just picked up this absolute monster of a vintage Sunn bass cabinet and figured you guys would appreciate it. Roughly 30x30x15 with the original Altec Lansing 18” speaker still installed.

This cab came out of church storage and the condition is honestly insane for its age. Original foam damping is still intact, grill cloth is super clean, casters are still there, and the inside looks completely untouched.

From what I can tell it’s a folded horn design. Would love more info on the exact model/year and what these realistically go for nowadays. Definitely one of the coolest vintage Sunn pieces I’ve come across. 🤘

Looking for some info on these

These are for sale near me and im curious about them. Im not the most familiar with Sunn cabinets, are these a PA or a bass cabinet? I was wondering if theyd work well on guitar? Theyre asking 500 for the pair but are open to offers

Actually, all instruments in this video aside from the acoustic are played through Sunn amps and cabs. The pedal steel, blue Strat, and pink Bass VI are all going through the Sceptre and staggered 412. The bass guitar is going into my Alpha Four and 215 cab.

Pedals used:

• Westminster Effects Calvin Compressor (on everything but the Bass VI)

• Boss SD-1 (on the Strat)

• Westminster Effects Wycliffe (on bass and Bass VI)

• Montreal Assembly Uppers (on Bass VI)

• Strymon Nightsky (added to pedal steel and Strat in post)

I mic’d everything with a cheap old Audio Technica something or other.

This is the setup I posted a few days ago with my dog.

Amp for Sun Model 6 PA

I picked these up the other day and have been going down the Sunn rabbit hole. What amp can I use to power these? Mainly looking to covert these to subs, bass guitar or use as a PA

Anyone recognize these speakers in my Beta Lead 4x10 combo?

I realized one of my speakers is torn in 4x10 BL combo and want to get a pair to swap in. Not looking to find original speakers, just something modern that will work with 2 of the originals. The problem is they are unmarked and I have no idea what wattage or impedance is in there now. I know it's wired for 4ohms but not sure exactly how it was wired. Any idea what came in the OG Beta Lead combos? Thanks for any help.
