By "under $200" yOu mean "for $100" then yes :).

Wrenched my ass off all night on some friends basses and did a pickup swap on one of my own. I love nothing more then wrenching on basses late at night when I don't work Saturdays.

It's $200 Obo. Just read this isn't the loudest/most efficient of Sunn, dunno if I want to wrestle it home if it won't flip as I sure wouldn't need it.

I need to do some bass work. Taking the blue voodoo, bxr and silvertone amps to Austin to work on some and show my dad the tube tester I'm taking care of.
 
Sorry to keep posting but one last post before I head out on the road.

I'm bring the 4x12 back with me to Austin to wire up and test these heads.

I plan on only using this 4x12 with guitar to bass vi level frequencies.

. Add padding to the interior walls like a bass cab? Will that help the bass but take away from the normal guitar tone?

.Not now unless there's some in the Austin classified at a increda price but for later, what's a decent 12" that's cheap if these aren't ok? MCM models, stick to higher wattage standard guitar speaker?

. Anyone ever "detune" (remove speakers from) a cab? Any good explanation of the reasoning/science there? Probably wouldn't do it to mine unless recommended, but a broke friend and me were thinking of fixing up one of his cabs that way.
 
Do you guys make the shipping boxes? are all the box companies stuck in a loop making box making materials for other companies to make boxes filled with boxes to send off to be filled with box making material to make more boxes?!?!!
We make shipping boxes only for the other boxes we make. The last two days we were mostly making boxes for See's Candies, and shipping them to their factory.

All Sunn is the good Sunn.

Though personally I prefer the cabs of slightly earlier, the 200S and 2000S type.

ODB3 gets a lot of hate but I LOVE it. Just use your ears to make a adjustments rather than setting the knobs where you think they should go and you'll be fine. Nothing else sounds like it.

Been a while since I had one, but I don't recall much mids control. That accurate or just me misremembering it/not spending enough time with the nobz last go-round?
 
I did a quick demo with the Boss ODB-3 on bass. Played my P bass into that and my Ibanez ST50 guitar into a DOD 150 for one side and Joyo Ultimate Drive for the other. Kind of a noise rockish kind of riff, seemed to fit the vibe of the bass tone.

Wow, that bass tone could be the eviler twin to my Chinabacker > Sheehan OD. Muy bueno.

Never heard of see's before, looks like a choco company.

I'm more of an old fruity candy guy. Jujubes, jujyfruits and dots are my favorites. The candy only old people probably have an interest in but can't eat cause they got no toofies. Twizzlers and red vines and black liquorice too. If you could have eaten them at "the talkies" they are good lol.

Man the new car stereo is a big improvement, it wasn't even that expensive. Sounds awesome, got 16gb of music on three flash drives in the console, cds can go back in the house! The factory stereo must have been a real piece of poopie.

I need to join the modern world of mobile music too. I put a nice pioneer deck with a rear mp3 mount and usb mount but forgot to slap a mp3 connector to the rear when I installed it. So I have to pull it back out enough to do that. And the second car still needs a modern deck. And reload my mp3 and flash drives with the stuff I have grown into after finally stumbling on this genre.
