Acoustic Combo Bass Amps

Sign in to disble this ad
Anybody know why Acoustic ( Brand ) doesn't make a 50 watt combo bass amp..
Seems like there's a 10,20,100,200 watt combo but thats it.. there's a 50 watt but its the AB-50 for acoustic/electric bass..

Because a 50 watt amp wouldn't be much cheaper then the 100 model? That's my best guess. Might as well get the 100 watt version.

Well I now have the B-20 (because its lite) but it does pack a punch.. the B100, but thats too heavy to keep carrying around.. and the AB-50 strictly for my acoustic bass.. I just figured why have a 10 watt and a 20 watt NO 50 Watt right to a 100 Watt.. I bet ya they would sell 50's.. I know I would buy one.. the 20 is good for pulling up and down stairs and all over the place, I just know its going to get out played soon in the right situation..

I'm thinking that people would try to make a 50-watter do work it was never intended to do, and the broke/return rate would be unacceptable.

I think people would do that with anything anyway.. make a 20 do the work of a 50 and make a 50 do the work of a 100 and on and on>> they make so many other amps, I was just curious why no 50 thats all. Not really a big deal..
