SOLD Pristine Condition Acoustic 370 Bass Amp

Selling one of the highly sought after Acoustic 370 bass heads from the 70's. It has an excellent vintage solid state tone with the perfect combination of punch and warmth. I had this shipped down to the Guitar Factory in Orlando, Florida to have it looked over by Curt Coniglio, one of the original amp technicians for Acoustic Control Corp. He serviced the amp (rebiased and cleaned all the electronics up) and looked over everything to ensure it would be performing at top shape for its age. He also noted that this amp is in remarkable condition for its age – the best he has ever seen!

This amp is in excellent working order for its age. All the knobs, switches, and sliders work as they should – except for one switch. The only functional flaw on this amp is that the power switch does not turn off. Once the amp is plugged into a wall outlet, it immediately turns on. Unfortunately, Curt was unable to fix this issue permanently. The way I work around this is to plug the amp into a power strip and use the power strip’s on/off switch as the on/off switch for the amp.

Cosmetically, it is in great condition. I removed the old tolex and rolled 2 coats of Duratex over it. I also replaced the metal corners, the rubber feet, and had Curt replace the 2-prong power cord with a 3-prong one. Surprisingly, I have all 5 of the original slider pieces – a rarity in itself!

The serial number for this amp is HA1318 which I’m pretty sure dates this head to the first year they are produced. This would also mean it is the 318th one ever built! (correct me if I’m mistaken here…)

Price: $550 because it’s in excellent condition. Feel free to message me with any questions.

EDIT: I'll ship in the US for free

 

Wow that would be an incredible connection! I bought it from a man who said he bought it in Cinncinatti area (I think... can't remember). He was from somewhere in the middle of Ohio. He claims he was the second owner and purchased it from the first owner about ~15 years ago. Could this be you?

 

EDIT: Free shipping in the US! Price is $550 still.

 

Should I include “hipster” in the title?

And yes I would like to keep it, but have no need for the massive volume and weight. I guess I could hold onto it... after all the work I put into it.

 

Yeah I was kidding about the hipster thing haha. And that is my thought - I would rather it belong to someone else who will use it more than me. I’m content with my class D head. The weight savings is worth more than the tone that I’m losing

 

Surprised there isn’t much interest in this beast of a head

 

Do you have a link? I couldn’t find it
