When The Kingsmen were playing Louie, Louie live in the early 60's, bassist Norm Sundholm, inquired as to how he could get louder bass than his 40-50 watt Fender Bassman was delivering. It was suggested that he build a Heathkit amp and run JBL speakers. The rest is history. With his experimenting, he developed Sunn Musical Gear with his brother Conrad. So Heathkit had a hand in Sunn gear development. Sunn amps are some the best bass gear ever. :semi-twins:
A friend had a preamp built and then built a 70 watt Dynakit to power it. Good clean Bass amp from back in the 60s.
Sunn: Another brand that Fender bought and ran into the ground!
