This is one of the new ACC 360/361 amps being auctioned on the Bay.

If you ever dreamed, and who hasn't take a look.

It's local to me. I wish I knew the guy so I could ask him to let me take it for a spin.

It's not an ACC (Acoustic Control Corporation).
It's an Acoustic USA.

It's a different beast than the original.

Want

 

[Jim Carr]

$5.4k plus shipping. That's a 15/6/1, a 15sub, a ShuttleMax 9.2, AND a team built Custom Shop '60s Jazz relic or used Sadowsky RV5 NYC.

 

[B-string]

None of which are a 360/361

Yep. Had one, but don't need to go back to "totally baked in" tone, so I won't be snagging this "new" one.

If I was rich, I'd totally get it.

Not sure why you never thought you would see this. There is absolutely nothing special about it. Almost seems like you are the seller and just trying to get more people to look at the auction.

The only times I had any tone troubles was when there was air leaks in the cab. Took two trips to ACC before they did not return.

I would probably as well, just to have it again. Which sounds kind of dumb, but I would.

Why is new in quotation marks?

If I was in the market I would wait to find an original example in excellent condition for much less. This is almost like seeing a Fender Custom Shop '62 Jazz selling for $30K. I realize the US made reissue is a "collectors item" in and of itself, I guess I'm just not that excited about this amp in the first place.

 

[Jim Carr]

Why is new in quotation marks?

It's a used "*NEW* ACOUSTIC USA 360/361 Bass Amp/Cabinet" in "Excellent (like new) played condition."

Just thought I'd skip all that.

 

[Korladis]

Ah, right.

 

[BurningSkies]

The seller is trying an interesting tactic. It was listed for $5K last week... now its up a few hundred dollars from that.

And the NEW price of one of these is 5K or less. Hrrrm.

 

[wcriley]

Why is new in quotation marks?

Maybe because it's a cosmetic reproduction of an original ACC?

Different preamp.
Different driver.
(Not sure about the power amp.)

 

[Sav'nBass]

Hmmm 5k ... no thanks. I had a 301 bottom and a 4xx something back in the day .. the one with the equalizer ... and frankly I don't see that rig doing anything that either of my GB heads with two 115sor even a 410 can't do for a heck of a lot less in cash and back strain.

 

[BurningSkies]

Why is new in quotation marks?

It's the 'new' version of this amp, and this one is actually 'used' although the seller is making like it's new anyway.

"New" is in quotes because the amp is from 2010, it is hardly new. It is in flight cases, I would shocked if it has not been gigged.

EDIT: The rig has friggin' toured... what a dink.

Mmmmm .... maybe.

Yeah, I initially thought the new just referenced it not being a 70s one.
