My newest gear, SWR, Sunn, and JBL

Sign in to disble this ad
I pieced all this together for $250 from two different Craigslist sellers. Obviously I need to clean my camera lens!

SWR Workingman 300
Vintage Sunn cab loaded with a JBL E140-16

Ready to play!! Anybody ever rocked a rig like this?

That's not a Sunn cab.
Sunn didn't use those Fender style corners and the wood was thicker around the grill on Sunn (not Fender-ish 3/4 in like yours).
I don't know what it is. It kinda looks like a Music Man ...

I think you are right Johnk. I know this, the JBL in it is bloody sweet sounding.

Here is a front and back pic of one just like mine.

My feelings too, the cab is 16 ohms, contains E140. What you need is a Hiwatt dr 103/Sound City 150/Simms Watts L100/Roost Sr 100/150/Marshall Superbass100.
Any of them old all tube amps will make the JBL in the music man cab sound the absolute dogs nuts.

I have a V4-B that might mate up well with this cab. It is a sweet sounding thing with that JBL in there.

I can say with full confidence that an Ampeg V4 sounds phenomenal with these cabs...



Someone else mentioned Sunn... Yeah, those work great also!
