NEWLY ADDED: I am up for trading for a guitar of equal or greater value, (plus cash if your guitar is of greater value)
It is large, angry and loud…
I played this today just for kick in my garage and it shook the house. Completly. The cab and head are 100% original and have been a team since they were purchased new. I know, because I purchased it from the original owner. 6-12" speakers in the cab. The 120 watts in this feel more like 1200 watts. The overall condition is excellent for a 45 year old amplifier. The tolex is nice and unripped, and this obviously did not see much touring or club use. This is so big and heavy, you can purchase this two ways: Pick it up (I live in South Western Pennsylvania) or schedule a freighter to pick it up. I will cover in bubble wrap and strap to a pallet, but you have to get your own freighter to pick it up. I will post east weight and measurements later, so you can get ship quotes. There are many freighters and truckers who bid on items if they have extra room in their trucks and want to make extra bucks. Don't be afraid, I have personally done this buying and selling many times and it is no big deal. From a respected SUNN Site:
SUNN 2000S Bass Amp
Affectionately referred to as the Noel Redding amp by cognoscenti, the 2000S was similar to the 1000 series amps, fitted with four KT88s in the early days before switching to 6550s (both rated at 120 watts RMS, 280 peak). These were joined by the 6AN8, 7025 and twin GZ-34s, as seen on the original 1200S and 1500S. Differences in the voicing of tone controls and the addition of a Bass Boost switch (officially added in May ’69 but probably tested earlier in the year) separate the bass model from the guitar. Using JBL D140F bass speakers added a bit more thump in the bottom octave, which the rear-loaded folded-horn cabinet design was able to translate into usable decibels (some cabinets are not capable of reproducing deep bass, no matter what speaker is used). Sunn had a reputation for its rugged cabinets, which came stock with casters. Total weight for a complete 2000S set was over 300 pounds! Like the 1000 series, the 2000S was not cheap, costing an even $2,000 in ’68.:
