Acoustic B115 NEO mis-priced on GC!

Sign in to disble this ad
Pretty sure this is a goof. Cabinet is priced at $400 everywhere else, here on GC it is $180. I already bought mine, and it is sitting in my house as I type this. So, if anyone wants a decent cheap cab, buy it up!

Here's the link:

Looks like they are closing them out.

On a side note, after reading their description, I find they are using deceptive practices.

From the website:

"Since the founding of the Acoustic brand in California in 1967, many legendary musicians, including some of music's premier rock, jazz and funk players, have chosen Acoustic as their amplifier of choice. The Acoustic design philosophy is "simplicity," allowing you to dial up great sound in an instant. The B115 NEO continues the great Acoustic tradition of simply great sound—so turn it up and discover what players have known for decades: Acoustic is the pro's tone since 1967. "


What a joke.

The GC "Acoustic" brand has absolutely NOTHING to do with the original Acoustic Control Corp

GC bought the rights to use the name, and produces "budget" priced equipment that is produced by a thrid party and re-badged for GC.

My GC had them & the B210neo for that $ a few mos. ago. Bought the B115neo...didn't sound good with my 370 or my B100. Took it back & swapped for the 210. The 15 must have been bad. The 210 is awesome! Gassing for another 1, but waiting for Acoustic USA to launch their 210 cab.....George, are you lurking? Lol!

I'm pretty sure this is normal. A quick Google shopping search says that this is the norm.

The GC price was not the norm when I bought it. I even looked around on google and other sites. Oh well, still a good price for broke people like me!
