Pow_22 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Anyone identify this amp from these really poor pics? Looks like maybe a 3u rack type amp (seems two in a rack so assume one back up). Seems fender-ish type knobs but cant find anything fender wise on google that would match it. Sound wise its old school valvey type but size wise im not sure it would be all valve 🤔🤔 Edited June 21, 2021 by Pow_22 Quote

Bankai Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 The microphone and cab suggest that it’s a guitar amp rather than bass amp at first glance Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 Just now, Bankai said: The microphone and cab suggest that it’s a guitar amp rather than bass amp at first glance I thought that. I did see a live vid where that make shift grill cloth was moving/bulging to the bass notes. In earlier videos is a standard black looking metal grill Quote
Bankai Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Fender Bassmann 1200 Pro / Sunn 1200S (same amp but rebranded) Edited June 22, 2021 by Bankai 2 Quote

Bankai Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 I spent half an hour looking through Zutons live photos/videos to try and find a better image and found nothing. Then I googled fender rackmount bass amp and had it inside of 30 seconds! A version of this Fender was made under the Sunn name but as the bassist was a fender endorser I would hazard a guess it’s the fender version he’s using. Sunn version: 1 Quote
Pow_22 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Posted June 22, 2021 Clearest pic i managed eventually was this. The fender thing makes sense as now the bass player is apparently with Noel Gallaghers solo project and is using a Super Bassman 300. Thanks again for the help 👍 Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 I think he’s currently with Noel Gallagher and yes, is a Fender man. Quote
Bankai Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 I’ve never heard one of these in the wild but I’m now intrigued. Don’t seem to come up second hand often either. Quote
Muppet Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 Rebadged Sunn amps that used to overheat If I remember correctly! and it was only 1200w at 2 ohms.... Quote
