YES!!! Rotary EQ!!!

Wish we could get a little closer shot of the control panel so I can read what's written next to the "notch" position knob...

Anyone?? PLEASE???

On / Off button. Footswitchable. As is the input Mute.

Hi guys. I landed trying to get other's opinions on the new Acoustic line of amps. I am a displaced guitar player that moved over to bass because of need. I got a B200 three months ago to get a band going. Saw the B200 and brought it home with me the same day. I have played 3 gigs with it since getting it and it certainly can hold up to a LOUD drummer and a single guitar rolling with a Peavy 30 Classic and 4x12 Sheffield Cab with plenty of headroom (gain 1/4 up/volume 1/2up). I am however thinking of trading the B200 in to get the B200H and B115 (currently on sale for $400.00) so I can add a 2x10 or 4x10 later on without losing power. Good to see that I made a wise choice early on despite not know very much about Bass gear. I would like to see how people here set "dial in" with their Acoustic (volume, gain, eq, notch, etc..).

Thanks - I don't know if you're talking about the same thing I am, but perhaps my query was unclear: is the third knob from the left still a "notch" knob or now something else?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Still a 'Notch" knob.

See below -- these are the B200 combo settings I arrived at playing with a fairly loud rocking band set up almost identically to yours amp-wise; in a quiet "bedroom" situation, the amp's 800hz knob gets dialed back to the 11 o'clock position, and the notch knob to about 1:30. Volume knob is "as needed," and I never needed to go past 1 o'clock. Actually, I did once and was asked to turn it down. I play a Precision bass and use a pick 99.99 percent of the time.

Hello All

First off I played a nice outdoor gig tonight. Just a local town thing with maybe 200 people, lots of kids you know how these are.

Fairly big PA for our FOH. 4 growler 15" subs and 2 nice EV 12" style tops. Very high end tops and loads of power. 3 Monitor mixes.

The B200H and my 2 Avatar Neo B210's did fine. Again all the band heard it great and a guitar friend who sat in and is working on being our FOH fillin tech said they sounded great.

My settings.

I use a SABDDI and the volume is at 1, All settings are noon except mix which is all the way to 6 and presence which is at 9.

Amp

I run active EMG's but I still plug into the passive in.
I have never clipped this amp

Gain 2-3 PM
Volume 11
60hz 11
120hz 2
350hz, 800hz 12
last two highs 10 each.

Best I can do from memory

Oh sweep floats from 12 to 1

Man if that is true I'll pony up for the new one just for those 2 features.

I don't seem to need anymore headroom but heck.

Can you tell us if there are any new features in the back?

Hi all, haven't posted here in awhile, but I'd like to submit my application for club membership.

This is me with my 360 and '74 Jazz, circa 1978....(lol, dang lookit all that hair

)

And this is the little puppy I picked up today...

Also today I learned that the pictures and stuff on the walls in the living room are not quite as stable as I had thought they were.

Luckily nothing's broken.

FrostFire · #**272** 08-13-2008, 11:35 PM

Just picked it up today. Finally I have respectable beginner gear after two years of playing a Silvertone bass and amp. It sounds amazing, and I don;t even have to put the volume past 10:00 to hear it well in my bedroom.

cellkirk74 · #**273** 08-14-2008, 02:51 AM

I got and old 220. I´ll shoot some pics the next days....

ROTFLMAO!! That's when you know you;re doing something right!

Great vintage pic there!

Okay, I just got back from trading in my B200 for a B200H and B115 cab. I have a rehearsal tonight and a gig this Saturday to put it through it's paces. I am really curious how different the sound will be on what is almost an identical setup considering the ohm load increase/wattage drop and the increased cab size. Who else here hopes Acoustic puts out a 2x10 cab? I cannot imagine lugging around the 115 AND the 410!

There is a 210 in the works from the USA side of Acoustic.

Bassmore · #**278** 08-14-2008, 01:49 PM

theSteve,

Do you happen to know if any of the cabs from the USA side are going to be able to "play nice" (impedance/watts) with the New Acoustic heads already rolling out? I'm kinda "Jonesin'" (pun intended) for a Folded W 18"

myself, if that should re-emerge again.

Thanks again,

Bassmore

thesteve · #**279** 08-14-2008, 02:27 PM

No clue. I get the same info as you over at the Unofficial Acoustic Forum, I've just been around there a bit longer.

I would expect that the large USA cabs that are in the works (a remaking of the 360/361 and a mini 360/361 with 15" folded design) would be 4 ohm cabs, but that's just a conjecture.
