The Acoustic Club

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this item for sale at Bass Northwest right now (I have no relationship with them, just thought it was cool looking):

Supposedly those are a real rarity. I've read that as few as 100 were made. I'm not sure if they're quite worth $800, but if you're an Acoustic collector, finding one in that good condition might be hard to pass up.

I
Next up to test with this stack, a Tech21 VT bass pedal (coming today)

You'll love it!!!

I found it worked well if I started with a flat amp EQ and the preset suggestions, then tweaking the presets and adding amp EQ as needed. I like "Fat Tube" especially as a starting point, but have to say that the SVT sound is pretty killer too!

Watch out for the VT's "bass" knob -- it is POWERFUL!

Enjoy!

Yes sir, it's been my speaker combination of choice for years. Been using Fender types through various incarnations of 2x15 setups and I'm just stoked about a new Acoustic!

Yeah, it was a sad era for me when the 2x15 was replaced by the 4x10... but I understand the benefits, even if I don't like 'em particularly.

Can I please have a number?
I just got my B200, and love how I can get a really nice clear flat tone for my basses out of it!
I really feel like I got something much nicer for the small amount it cost!

Nice axes you're slinging there!

So I was at GC messing with the B200 combo again. DAMN do those sound good. I had forgotten how good they sounded since the last time I was there. I gave myself a laugh when the salesman started walking me over to the Ampeg's to try out a bass and I was walking the other way to the Acoustic's.

Thanks!
I think this is one of the best sounding amps I've ever played!

I'm happy I read this thread a couple of months ago

Can't wait to get my wattage-hungry mitts on the B600; if anybody's got any further info to share on this coming attraction that hasn't been posted already, please share, pleeze!

This thread details one TB'ers use of the Acoustic B200H head and that cabinet, I believe.

He ended up not keeping it...

I can't imagine needing more volume than my B200H with two B115's provide, but I don't play against 2 100W Tube guitar amps or a drummer who has two dynamic levels, loud and louder.

That won't stop me from picking up the B600H when it comes out though.

I finally got pics of the new rig! Sorry about the quality, I had to use my mac camera with photo booth. Anywho, here it is in all its pants pooping goodness!!

Hey Owl,

Acoustic Club # 8 here. I still owe you some pics, I have not forgotten. As you may recall, my stuff was on layaway, well, it still is. I may be broke for buying any new gear out right these days (bills, bills, bills) but I'm still determined. Many thanks to the folks at GC for working with me on my dream rig (2 x Acoustic B200H's, 1 x B115, 1 x B410 and even an oldie but goodie, Acoustic Control Corp Model 126, there was no way I was going to pass that up). Good things take time, Great things take longer. Acoustic is the way to go! I'm surprised to see that folks have not joined up here lately, showing the Acoustic Love, if you will as it certainly seems that many have become hip to the fact that Acoustic is not only back but is back in a very big way. Soon (late Oct. early Nov.)we will get to see their new B600H head released (450W RMS @ 4 Ohms, 600W RMS @ 2 Ohms). The GAS just never stops. Also, we should see Acoustic USA launch their first products in December (a.k.a in about 3 months) Their stuff should be without a doubt "Legendary". I'm hoping that both the Acoustic Amplification and Acoustic USA will offer their products to the good folks at Bass Gear Magazine, awesome rag BTW if you have not yet checked it out. Then as I predict, many more folks perhaps will have a greater appreciation for the awesome tonal flexibilty and sheer power these two companies have worked so diligently to bring into the Bass Amp market arena and by doing so will restore the Acoustic name to it's rightful position therein. Lastly, as of this morning, the guy on the radio mentioned that the rumor has yet again resurfaced. That being that Mr. Page, Mr. Jones and young Mr. Bonham are not just working on some stuff together but are actually rehearsing for a tour that may be planned for 2009. Apparently, Mr. Plant may not be joining them but we'll see. What I'm getting at here is, that when the mighty Zeppelin does again take flight, I for one am certainly hopeful that JPJ will indeed have ACOUSTC Bass Amps standing there behind him! Any other Acousticians with me here?

Play On!

Has there been an annoucement? I seem to recall it was supposed to be out like 2-3 years ago.

 

[Bassmore]

Pedro,

That's basically per information from an insider of sorts who's been allowed to share info. on the Acosutic USA stuff (Ziggydude). See other threads here at TB and at unofficialacousticcontrolcorp.com.

Thanks again,

Play On!

Hey! Everyone's still alive!

 

[jazzbo58]

Here's a couple of pictures of my Acoustic 370. I still use it. As you know it's a beast! One day I would love to have a 301 bottom! I would like a number please.
