I was noodling around looking for deals and steals (later on that) and had a few hours to spare, so I test drove the B-100 by Acoustic today at GC.
I grabbed a CV Precision bass and plugged in.
SURPRISE!
The little sucker has some gombies!
I EQ'd it all over the place and what got me was that it was like a puppy and kept trying - and doing quite well.
It has a single 15" driver and I didn't see any Horn through the grill, so I assume it wasn't there.
We all know that a 15" cannot comply as well as some 10s, but I was very happy to hear that it was clean and could really take some serious heat.
My go-to bass guy in the store grabbed an Ibanez SR505 or so - well, it had 5 strings and looked like my SR500 - so he slapped the snot outta this amp and it could comply well for all but the most complex sounds at some high volume too.
I took the amp into full clip and it just sang it's little heart out for me.
For ONLY 100 Watts, it smokes and stays very clean and precise until you get silly with it - but it filled the store well and that's a good road test I think when the other departments stopped what they were doing to hear him slapping this Ibanez and the Acoustic B-100 combo.
I say that if you want a serious practice amp or play in small venues like an intimate bar or loud elevator music, then it'll have sufficient head room to make you happy.
The EQ is nice and very linear and the Gain is right there, doing what I like it to do - overdriving the amp for a nice tube-clipped sound of the olden days if you like.
You can get pretty brilliant highs too - up to the point where any 15" is gonna get floppy, but if you want to push that hard, this puppy will run with you all they way!
As much as I thought it might - the Notch Filter never got in my way at all - ever so mindful of the horror stories I've heard of them taking over and since they cannot be turned off, I had heard that they are a nuisance. Not so!
I was gonna plug it's output into the Acoustic B-810 - but I chickened out before I did - or sumpthin' like that.
I say that if you need a 100 Watt amp - and mind you that this honks a lot better than any other 100Watt amp I've heard so far - then you should give it an honest appraisal by test driving one yourself.
And it's cute too.
