I'm not normally a paranoid type of guy, but I'm beginning to see this as all one big conspiracy -
and you're all involved! Verrrry clever...entice me with chrome hardware, dazzle me with shiny pickups & dual pickguards & stuff, and the next thing you know I'm using 360V64 as my PIN number on my ATM card. You guys won't be happy until I've sunk to your level of obsession. Well, if it makes you feel better, it won't be long now - I'm slipping fast.

and, the name of your financial institution is...?

Or of course you can try a 660/12, very nice 12 string, wider string spacing, too. Easier to play than that 360/12 even. Guaranteed not to be addictive, yeah, right!!!

Nice guitar. I'd love to try one of those some day. What's in that Sunn cab? I used to have one back in the 80s when I was playing bass part-time in a band. Mine looked exactly like yours and it had one-18" and one-12" speaker in it. Also, it weighed about a million pounds - hard to carry!

Here comes the sunn ....

It is a '68 Sorado cabinet that currently has 2 15" Eminence Deltas in it so that it can handle the power of my Walter Woods Super Hi Power Amp, 650 watts RMS into 4 Ohms. It weights 84 lbs. so it doesn't get out much. Thanks for asking. I've never heard of a Sunn cab like the one you described. Interesting.

84 lbs - you got off easy. Mine was over 100. I ended up abandoning that cab at our lead player's house, which was our practice space. Last I heard, he was planning to cut it in half, keep the bottom half with the 18, and discard the rest.
That was 10 years ago or so; don't know if he ever did it. I used to power it with an old B25B Ampeg head, which I still have. (and still use)

Well, Marshall stacks started out as top + a 8x12" speaker. They changed it into 2 4x12s after Pete Townshend's roadies complained they were too heavy...
