Sunn Sorado and updated rig

FINALLY my Sunn stack has completed!!
A couple of weeks ago I received my Sorado back from my amp technician. It plays better than ever and the sound is massive.
By the way... If you are located in Athens (GR) and search for an amp doctor (or other equipment), do yourself a favor and check RETROLAB (http://www.myspace.com/retrolabinspace). Great guy and great at his job.
In other news, the quest of finding big cabs is going well. Last month I found a Fender Bassman 100 4x12" cab with the unique speaker configuration. The pic speaks for itself. Last (but not least) waiting in the mail an excellent Peavey 2x15" loaded with Black Widows!! That's all for now...  \m/
