I am not expert but according to Wikipedia the Blue Stripe is the most aggressive of the bunch. The way I have it dialed-in seems very thrash-ish to me which is not really my style as I am more of an 80's hair metal kinda dude lol.

Probably the first riff I would play through it would be Still Of The Night.

Always thought he recorded the Whitesnake album with an old Marshall cab with 65s. Nice score! I had a 2B Coli for a minute, but returned it when it developed an issue. Was on the lookout for a mk 3 Coli but then I went with a Strategy 400 + 2C+ slave rig...now I have a 400w monster that eats colis for breakfast! Lol!

What speakers did Sykes use?

Mc90 loaded 412s i believe.

Nice nice. THe blue and especially green stripes are the best mark 3's. The red stripe is great too, just a tad darker.

I think you guys will appreciate this one

I found a Coliseum that was VERY well cared for. It has the footswitches and even the original owners manual. It appears to be a Blue Stripe. It has Reverb too.

Check it out!

Congrats! I know you've been looking for one of those.

Just read another thread that said be used EV loaded Mesa cabs and 1 vintage Marshall with GBs. Who knows.

 

[El Mariachi]

WOW!
That is CLEAN!
Congrats on a great score!

Sick. One amp I regret selling is my old red stripe. Could do anything from rock to modern metal. And it was loud as hell. Can't imagine how powerful the coli is.

 

[psychodave]

Nice amp. I love mine!

 

[Zachman]

Just read another thread that said be used EV loaded Mesa cabs and 1 vintage Marshall with GBs. Who knows.

He mostly used two no stripe Mark III Coliseums slaved together with two Boogie metal grill Half Back 4x12 cabs with Black Shadow C90's in the open top and EVM 12L's in the closed bottom. He did use a Jose modded Marshall for the solo on "Is This Love" and a Marshall cab with 65's in it.
