Sunn 2000S bass amp query

[GreyBeard]

I've seen one "studio" video of Mountain where Felix had 2000S cabs, every other video or picture I've seen he was using 200S cabs.
It takes a very special occasion for me to actually haul out a pair of 2000S cabs, almost exclusively for outdoor venues. 200S cabs are way easier to deal with (and getting easier with each passing year...) and are plenty loud for most applications.
Truthfully a single 200S head and cab is enough to hack off the majority of sound engineers in a stage situation.
Solid state devotees usually think I'm jacking with them when I tell them it's a 60 watt head.

I played trombone in a band with a guy that had a 2000S with 2x200S cabs. It was the ultimate old school bass sound. I later heard one with a 2000S cab and was very disappointed with the loose mushy bottom end the 2000S cab compared to the 200S
cab.

And....do you still have it?

No.

Traded it a few years back.
For a 1966 Jazz Bass.
Which I still have.

That said, wish I keep the EB-1.

I love my 2000s and I'm going to give it some attention. Any recommendations as to where I can get the exact cab corners, coasters and handles. I note the handles are rivited on with some sort of a nail, so I may just replace the crome clips, if I can find them.

Also, I think I replaced the KT-88 tubes not too long ago, but what about the other 4 tubes. Does it make much difference if they too are replaced?

Lastly, anyone know how to tighten up the cabinet. It seems to rattle slightly. Some one said just open it and squirt some glue around the inner edges. Is this good advice?

Is there any advantage to replacing the D140F speakers?

Thanks for any advice.

James


P.S. I might be in the market for a second cab if anyone has one.
