The New "acoustic" USA 360 Is Now Available

Sign in to disble this ad
All,

I kid you not. If interested you may wish to check out the Original post itself over at the the "unofficialacousticcontrolcorp" message board (yuku ) and give Vetchking a call. Great guy with a passion to succeed. I spoke with him myself a few weeks ago and he's certainly won my confidence. He is for real and might even share with the amazing story as to how this incredible bass amp is well on it's way back!. His phone number is in the post. It was posted last Wednesday.

"A Low Sonic SkyBlue Phoenix to arise from glory ashes
to pair again in arena shadows of a mightily lofted dirigible in the year 010" - Basstradamus

It has begun , the second shoe is yet to fall,

JPJ - Are you reading this? You are going to want one of these if for no other reason, when you get back with your old friends Robert and Jimmy


Play On!

Great news!

How about the 360/361M (mini)? (with a 15" driver)

And does anyone know what the price point is on these?

How about a new TalkBass rule: no pricing, no availability.

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I'm SO excited! If I wasn't set right now (Bassman 300+Sunn 2x15), this is EXACTLY where my money would be going. And who knows, I may have to get me one of the unpowered 361 cabs. 2x15+Folded 18"........mmmmmm....

Prepare your wallet for emptying if you want one.

Totally impractical in terms of size, sound, weight, and cost for me... but I'm glad those who want them can get them (assuming they are actually finally for sale.)

HAHA!! Seems like I posted this EXACT same thread a few days ago......


$5,000 is what I heard (several months ago) for the 360/361, but that is the "Flagship" of the product line up....

There is a "smaller" version - the 360/361m (a 15" version) some various cabs (4X10, 2X10, and I "think" a 6X10) as well as a power amp or two...

Cheers!!

PS..Here's the "original thread..."

NEW USA ACOUSTIC 360 AVAILABLE!!!

Buster,

My apologies. I don't know where my head has been these days. I even replied to your thread too. Me Duh! Too much work, not enough playing of the bass, I guess.

Sorry about that.

Long live the New "acoustic" USA!!!

Play On!

Bassmore

Why get a reissue when I see the original go for less than $2,000 regularly? (It will hopefully be my next amp purchase, oh yes. )

This is not a Re-issue
It's a totally new design. Well new 5 years ago.

Still, no web pages, no catalogue, and no price list.
Many swear this is not vaporware.

But why is there so little evidence? UFO phenomena?

Well, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that they are being built in Area 51!!!

Seriously though, they ARE being built and they ARE available for order. Now, can I give you an explanation as to WHY there is no Publicity? No Website? No reviews? No "product roll-out"? Sorry, no clue....

But then again, they seem to go about things from the "back to the front".....so, go figure....

Because there's no need for any of it. The units will self-sell right up to the limit of manufacturing throughput. If ACC were planning on cranking them out by the thousands from a Chinese sweat shop then it'd be a different matter altogether. But that's not their marketing/sales model for these units.

Their sales model is to not advertise?

again, you're missing the point. reeves doesn't advertise yet they have no problem selling what they make. thunderfunk doesn't advertise but they have no problem selling what they make. and have you ever in your life seen an ad for fodera? if you make limited quantities of a high end product, you really don't need to advertise. word of mouth is what sells them.
