Vintage Acoustic 361PP

Also have a custom-made cab, modeled after the Acoustic 215BX, with 2 Peavy Black Widow 15"s in it (with a vintage Acoustic B220 powering it) (the pic is an old one!):

Dear go, it's so beautiful!

*sniffle*

Thank you Edword and DMN! It took me 10 years to find that 360 locally, but I finally did!

And the neat story to it: it was the amp of Al "Doc" Berger, from Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. Got signed documentation and everything =)

Two 6x12's. Each one 140lbs.+ but completely worth hauling around.

Thanks!

The V6 came out shortly after I started playing, but I didn't realize that the 2x15 for the V6-B were that much smaller than the SVT fridge cabinets!

When I was shopping for my first bass 1974, I really wanted a Grabber but ended up with a P Bass instead. I had no idea that Gibson made them into the '80s (wiki says the Grabber was discontinued in 1982).

Good lord I have never seen a 400+ look so tiny. That must sound MASSIVE!

A bit late in the game I realize...

LDS 210 (alum neo) + 115 (no tweeter, biamp only). Don is amazing.
