cd_david Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Anyone got any experience or advice? I have been offered one but the compressor doesnt work. Is there anything to be wary of and what is the current going rate? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umcoo Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is this the same as the Sunn 300T? I know vegas_hooker has one of them and seems to enjoy it. Maybe shoot him a PM if it's the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 They are very Doom. Not sure they are actually super good by todays standards. Is it the solid state one? If its Sunn and valve, you are pretty much on to a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegarcia Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Think thats a solid state one. Fairly nice amps I think if you're into that kinda thing, I'd say it's not worth more than about £300 or so unless you're a silly collector or something.

MOSCOWBASS Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I had the 200 watt Sunn concert bass in the 70's (Colosseum's little brother), it's was good at that time. It's solid state, the colosseum is 320 watts I think. Entwistle used quite a few of them, I had the pleasure of hearing them in 76. That's why I blew my student grant on the Concert bass. Not a lot of low end, I ended up using an MXR graphic eq in the fx loop to get some low end. Eventually a Cerwin Vega bin got that bottom out of it....they called me "megawatt" in the band, it was loud at thet time. I would think a Colosseum now would require some TLC......it's getting on a bit in years. Iain H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks for the input gents, Its the solid state one and its in the UK if they go for around 300 then it could be worth a buy and then repair the compressor. Will post some pics if i can borrow it off the lad. If i dont go for it i will out the owners details up for anyone interested.
