OH MY!! Found this on Ebay. HOLY $#%*!

Year 1971 was when I first got acquainted with the Fender PS400. I saw a bass player at a local club using the pictured rig. The sound filled the large room very nicely with thunderous and very powerful bass a la Grand Funk Railroad.

I went to my first Chicago concert that summer. Terry Kath used the PS400 to drive 3 Acoustic 104 guitar cabinets (6x10). No fuzzbox was needed and he was very loud! Peter Cetera played his P-Bass through one Acoustic 360.

I had one of these without the dolly - so I placed the head on top of the cabinet which the spec. explicitly say NOT to do. Obviously I was one of those idiots who couldn't be bothered by user guides. This is probably the reason that after a short time, the head enclosure became rickety and the frame had to be reinforced - no further issues after that. This thing was a beast, even with a single folded horn cabinet. Sadly it was destroyed in a club fire. I would say it was roughly comparable to the Acoustic 360 that replaced it.

Terry Kath...One of the most under rated guitarists IMHO...was that is.
