I recognize that place! Didn't know they did used stuff. Good shop. GREAT pedal selection.
It's not a terrible shop. Their heyday was about 10 years ago, now they have probably 30% of the inventory that they had. Their pedal selection is great and they carry some basses not found everywhere. I usually find the staff to be somewhat incompetent, especially with regard to bass gear(and pedals depending on the employee). That's somewhat expected though in small town suburban Missouri.
The amp is there on consignment so it is not horrendously overpriced. If they had it for sale it would probably be tagged at $2k I'd suspect.
There's one of those same Acoustic stacks in a local shop, don't remember the exact price but it's way over $800.
Most of what I've dug up indicated that just the 360 or the 360/361 in beat up shape tend to go for 1100-1300. Pristine specimens between $1600-$2200.
I'm honestly shocked that no one at the shop bought it from the seller. Even if they were to buy it only to haul it to the city and sell it to Killer Vintage, I'd bet they could still make a couple hundred just for the drive. Maybe.
That's an awesome looking rig.
The EHX Ravish Sitar pedal came in the mail. It's big, but not as huge as I expected, so pleasant surprise there.

YOU BUY THAT G*****N RIG RIGHT NOW.
I probably will buy it. I just need a night or two to swallow the credit card statement that will be forthcoming. UGH....
Apparently it has been up there for like 5 or 6 months. Recently dropped from $1000.
New pedals.
The only obvious solution is fuzz>Miku set to "Scat"(as if there were another real option)>fuzz blended in parallel with Fuzz>ravish, all going into reverb.
I guess the only thing I'd check with the shop is what work has been done to it. Does it have the OG Cerwin Vega speaker? Is the internal power amp all up to snuff?
PS if you hate it I'll trade ya as many snowcones as you can eat for it. Or something.
Probably actually going to put the Miku before everything except the tuner.
And then the ravish after that.
So TU-3->Miku->Ravish->Swollen Pickle->Bass Big Muff->Wah->Reverb->D-180 amp.
Both fuzz pedals will soon be replaced by a single Dunwich.
I played it and it sounded fantastic. No scratchy pots, weird noises or smells. The fuzz is a bit wonky sounding but it sounds functional enough that I'd imagine thats just how they sounded. I turned it up reasonably loud, but didn't want to risk damaging the speaker. Definitely a lot of air being moved for one speaker. It didn't have any old school "serviced by" tags. The only thing I could see that was bvious was that both amp and cab had been converted to three prong plugs. If/when I go in to buy it, I am coming with a screwdriver to check out the speaker. I'm not sure just how much that impacts the value though when it's already such a good deal. I'd imagine if the seller truly doesn't know the rigs value I could barter with that, but if he does know the real value I doubt he'd budge.
Please put Miku after fuzz. I must know if Miku sounds angry after fuzz, or just terrible.
New pedals.
how ya like that Ravish Sitar??? Ive been on the fence about one for a long time... The demos online are kinda hit or miss and I cant tell how it would be for my playing.
There's a demo of that on youtube already.
About to try it out.
I'll probably be going for a sound kinda like this:
Broke the seal on bass gear for the first time in awhile.
Snagged a USA Millennium for $120 (150 shipped)...
Unless of course GC had the wrong picture which we all know is entirely possible.
Guess we will see, they had it listed as a AC BXP.

No, the opposite direction. Fuzz pedal output into Miku input. Likely terrible, but I must know for certain.
I'll try that configuration out. I imagine the tracking will be a problem, though.
