That would have made a GREAT photo!


I saw a Sunn bass amp that had a similar meltdown a number of years ago.


This bass player was driving his amp hard during an outdoor July 4th concert on a very hot day. During the band's second, harder rocking set, the 15" speaker in his cabinet erupted in flames taking the paper cone and a circular section of grill cloth.


The sound guy lept to the stage with an extinguisher in hand and promptly covered the amp in white powder. They brought this cabinet into a local music store for repair looking exactly like I just described it... extinguisher residue and all.


The music store left it out front for all to see until they got the parts to repair it! It was quite a conversation starter!
