Bass Amp Hunting this weekend

[B-string]

I hate to burst any bubbles, but I've never been a big fan of the Acoustic amps, except perhaps the 370. If you're looking for a great used 200 Watt solid state amp that won't break your piggy bank, I would strongly recommend the Peavey Mark IV. I used one for years to power an old SVT (8-10") cabinet. That sucker never quit, and I used it for gigs everywhere! I'm sorry, you were looking for a small gig home recording amp. Ampeg has a new B-15 Portaflex combo, that I would love to have. I'm still using the old 1960's B-18N, but I mostly only use it at home. I don't want to push it too much anymore. Besides, it deserves to be treated with deference and respect, so I now go easy on her.

So you were not a fan of the Acoustic Control Corp. amps? How about the Guitar Center house brand Acoustic (no relation to ACC)?

I have owned Acoustic B200 combo since 2009..LOVE IT.
Tone bank for both is 6 bands of semi parametric tone control.

actually it doesn't. it has fixed frequencies on 6 knobs.
Pretty much the same as a 6 band graphic but with knobs instead of sliders.

this is what a semi-parametric looks like.

not trying to be a jerk, just pointing it out in case any younger bassists reading this are confused.
