I think they had a couple of years on them. Also, I think that's where the Sunn heads left off. They took from those, I think. At least, that's what came out right after, and they looked similar.

I think they even took from the cabs, as well. They had Sunn 2 x 15" cabs on their last go around. I guess they pretty much just rebadged everything, but then put out different models after that.

Felix thought the world of both Sunn heads, and Sunn 215 cabs. Yes, I also believe the Pro series was just a repackage of the Sunns. There truly was only one Sunn. Just like the original Acoustic series.

They certainly had their time. You probably can still find some that are working. Although, it's rare that I've seen any on the market. Every once in awhile you might see a Coliseum head, or something like that.

Leslie West used Coliseum heads by mistake at first.

Interesting thing you mentioned that. Look what I found looking up info about the Coliseum head.

When Felix ordered the Sunns for he, and Leslie, Felix's was ok, but Leslie's were the Coliseum heads. At first West didn't like them, until he played through them.

I imagine he must have been loud as hell. How many watts were those?

I don't recall their wattage, but they were extremely loud.

I've seen the later solid state bass models rated at 300 watts at 2 ohms, 200 at 4 ohms, and 170 (I think) at 8 ohms. I guess those were the ones that were out in the early 70's.

In all probability, yes.

Did you ever have one of those as your own amp?

No, I never had the opportunity to do a Sunn.

I suppose you definitely handled them on the road, though.
