You can obtain a quick solution if you wrap your equations in N[], because this
forces the Sin[] and Cos[] to evaluate to numerical values. Ther solution I then
obtained was:
{{a0 -> -908.7749999999999, a1 -> -519.642,
b1 -> -1411.07, a2 -> 601.6299999999999,
b2 -> -506.1069999999999, a3 -> 193.252,
b3 -> 129.722}}
