Haha, I didn't expect such a controversy. I just find it funny how defensive and condescending the president of the company is. Still looking forward to the amp though, I've heard the vintage ones and they have the best grind tone I've ever heard.

Phone (724)-589-5440 Best time to call is

I'm right between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Your welcome to play the new stuff.

Post #81

You called ACOUSTIC AMPLIFICATION.COM ( GC. ) Not me.

Call, I'm here .

I write big because my eyes are shot from sitting for 10 hours a day on a computer and I have purple ear from the phone.

I am the defensive condescending BIG KAHOONA of The new "acoustic" USA CO. INC.

Hey, guys, How about I'm tired.

Most of my post are at 2 or 3 or 4 Am. I'm already shot by then. Then I sleep for a few and go hit it. again.

I posted on Harmony Central one time...... I gave a beautiful, ( Completely Honest ) update on the new products.

A 40 year old pattent attorney in LA. cut me new A- HOLE. He only had 38,000 posts.

He didn't like the big print. He didn't like my miss speelllllings. He didn't like my marketing approach.

He will never buy my new amps........ LOL.

What marketing approach I just talked about the amp. WOW.

That was fun for me.......... Cheap ads. Massive trashing. UGH.

Five guys wrote me and apologized for him.

As far as posting pictures go. Burlington. Why would you need a second picture?

Hell, I almost had that one removed.

I can post pictures for days.

After 6.5 years to 7.5 years of work. For free I might add.

Bet the farm, sold the stock, cashed out the IRA.

Heay, Wanna ROCK.

I think I'll decide when we release our line.

Again, Im not being mean. I'm tired.

Go to this site: Smart, relatively, High, grade...
OH, I guess Professional is in order.

Bass Gear Mag is going to do a documentary on acoustic.

1968, Acoustic Control Corp, The Warner Group, Samick Music, Guitar Center, and the New "acoustic" GPG CO INC USA.

Interviews from Russ Allee " The Godfather of Electric Bass Amplification"

Harvey Gerst. Steve Marks, On and on.

Ps. Robert Marks was the CEO, Steve Marks was the Pres.
Harvey was the first guy with Steve. Russ was a on the side consultant, They couldn't afford to pay him. He later was added.

Russ later became the acting President, and later the President. Oh Yeah... Head Designer. (always )

All you guys that didnt like the 360/361 and loved the 320/408.

RUSS.

Harvey was never the President. He did not leave talk bass.

He's always around.

These men put me in bussiness. Period.

When Harvey introduced me to Russ. That day changed my life.

I have talked to them daily or weekly for over 6 years.

Very different people. Put them together .......
Lennon and McCartney. ( speaker design and AMP design )

I swear. All True.

Imagine the coolest Grandfather for your kids.

Mel Blanc......... Cartoon voice Mel.

Imagine a 4 or 5 or 6 year old going over to Mel's house for Thanksgiving or X-mas.

He takes them on his knee and does Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and all the rest. WOW.

That's what I feel like when I talk to them...........

Later................ George

Really? How can you not enjoy this guys posts? Can't wait to hear the new amps.:hyper:
 
I was at GC checking out 4-strings the other day and the guy plugged me into an Acoustic combo (B450 I think). I almost didn't play it, instead wanting to plug into a MB LMIII (close to the LMTube I'm running). But I did try it, and frankly was shocked at how good it sounded.

Nothing to do with the 360/361 debate, but my advice is to give the amps a listen if you're so inclined. I won't be buying one (happy with my MB/TC/Berg combinations) but I wouldn't dismiss one without trying it.
 
1976...I was playing through a 1973 Bassman with two 15s and had just gotten a B-15 Ampeg. Also played with a band that had a huge 300 watt, 300 pound Plush head that needed its own truck to haul (exageration, but boy was that thing big and heavy!)through Sunn bins. Loud, clear, and bassy. Playing a Gilbert Fender Jazz bass copy with DiMarzios, with growl from here to tomorrow. Ahh...those were the days!
 
Somebody tell me what the difference is:

WIKIPEDIA::: Acoustic Control Corporation went out of business in the 1980s, then returned under the name True Tone Audio (no valid link available) as a manufacturer of P.A. amplifiers.

Latter-day employee and designer Steve Rabe went on to establish specialist bass amplifier manufacturer SWR (now owned by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation) in 1984, then Raven Labs in 1998.

Acoustic has come back in 2007 under the name Acoustic Amplification with the models: B20 and AB50. They currently have new models out on their new website.

Acoustic either IS or is NOT the new gen of a reborn company. No?
 
Vetchking...Do you intend to reissue the "folded horn" speaker line? I mean the type that was in the 126 or 136 models, or the 1X15 cab? I would love to know more about the development of that configuration, and if you do, no MDF or particle board? Good Finnish birch? Thanks!
 
I didn't say that.

I asked B-string if that was not true.


So far all I have is your sidebar comment and question of all things Wiki-related and that was NOT the question. You work for B-string?

You have an attitude problem.

Of course not, but it's as accurate as any other encyclopedia.

No, it's not. I'm not saying it's full of lies or anything, but anyone who wants to can change it. It is not a reputable source.

Let it be known, I am not trying to troll. It just saddens me that these amps are taking so long to be released. I also think that closeup pictures would really get people excited to buy one.
