Acoustic USA 360 / 361

Not open for further replies.
No actually the cabs are good, but he fails to deliver them. There are a couple dozen people waiting on cabs they paid IN FULL for over a year ago--some of them over TWO years ago. But George is right, the Dr. Bass comparison is not appropriate here. Totally different situation.

No actually the Acoustic amps in this thread are not from the same company as the ones sold by GC.

Well, hell - I stand corrected on *both* accounts.

Never mind me - I'm clearly late to THIS party!
 
I spoke with George on the phone for over an hour the other day and he sent me actual pictures of 3 of the Acoustic USA amps with a bass player standing next to them. The amps are for real, plus he sent me the instruction manual for the Acoustic 360/361. If I could figure out how to do it I would post a link, but I don't know how from my personal e-mail that George sent me.

The amps are handmade and are expensive. The 360 head is $2000 and the 361 cabinet is $3000, it's a $5000 amp. He's got a waiting list of people who have or are going to put money down as a deposit soon as he finishes working out some details to get the amps produced for customers.

He's a for real guy, I believe him.

Well, good luck to you.....

As many of these guys know, I have been a long-standing supporter of George and his Acoustic vision. I probably have the same material that George sent you. George asked me not to make them public (after I had stupidly done so here) and I immediately took them down.

Since that time, the legend has grown and grown from "photoshop" to "counterfeit" to "impossible" and everything else in-between. That's unfortunate. However, the amount of free publicity that George has raked in from then until now, is something to behold, indeed.

Be prepared to suffer the slings and arrows of those who will berate and belittle......again, small minds think very little.....:D

Your probably right, but you know what am I going to do about it. George contacted me and I was leary of giving him a call because of all the negative posts that have been written about him and his endeavor, but I called him and we had a very good conversation. Yes, I questioned him about his company and all the other questions that alot of people been wondering about and he answered all of my questions. He even told me more that I haven't disclosed because he asked me not to say anything.

I've probably given out more info than I should have, but then I'm just human and it's my nature to talk too much at times.

I'll hold on to my seat and sit back and read all the fallout from this.:rolleyes:
 
Photo and PDF deleted at George's demand.

George--can you explain, in a logical way, with no exaggeration, why that photo would be so damaging to your company? Because frankly it doesn't make sense to me, and the fact that you're only willing to have that one other pic (taken from a great distance) published is terribly contrary to your assertion that the only real holdup to selling your amps is that you're waiting on UL certification.

Vetchking Here:

The picture your looking for is an actual computer drawn picture of almost our entire new line.

Buster Brown did indeed post it. I had him remove it.

As strange as it might seem our team is computer literate and can post pictures at any time we choose.

"Photoshop"/"Computer Generated"
Potato Tomato

Why at this time would Vetcking allow photos, computer generated or not to be posted?
Let's see if they stick. If they are copyrighted, nobody but the owner has the rights to post them.
 
Subscribed.

Not sure what is happening here, as there is a lot of stuff
deleted and off the radar but this thread is getting kind of
twisted up.

A few reminders are in order.

Respect is rule #1. If you can't follow that, expect PM's.

Please do not post proprietary material relating to product
development etc., unless you have the permission of the
owner of the intellectual propery involved. Material made
available to you that is shared privately may require you to
verify by email or phone that the owner consents to such
material being made public prior to your posting it. Do not
assume material shared privately with you is meant for
public dissemination.

Material posted in a public domain available for anyone to view,
quote or link presupposes that the owner means to
share such information. If you are in doubt, ask the owner
and avoid these kinds of issues.

And finally, play nice. Report disrespect and it will be dealt with as needed.

Thank you,
Thor
 
I for one am very interested to see what the new gear will be like when it becomes available. My previous comments were really meant to be helpful, as the more good gear out there the better, and anyone willing to devote themselves to a dream like this deserves to succeed.

As someone who works in sales and marketing, reading these threads is like watching a car accident in slow motion. Loose lips sink ships.
 
Nonsense. The intellectual property claim is valid, but you have not explained why that photo would be so damaging to the work you've done so far.

I was interested based on the information posted here. Why do these images continue to be removed? The only thing I can think of is that someone does not own the rights to produce this equipment.

Sure hope I'm wrong...
 
But just like the kid who cries "I'm taking my ball and going home", it leaves us with the feeling that he's not somebody we'll want to play with in the future.

If a person can't explain themselves rationally, then I don't care whether it's within their right not to explain themselves.
