The 320 and 126 are 3rd gen no? They have different styling for sure

Just found out that a recurring annual outdoor gig has been calendared for Fri 5/04/18. It's a Special Olympics at a college near me and I've been involved in the special occasion band for about 5 years now.
This is an occasion when I can utilize my big Acoustic rig as they set up a very large outdoor stage. In this case I'm thinking the ntm 320 head (thanks @cornfarmer) and trusty 406 wide cab.
I now feel like a kid waiting for a special weekend at Disneyland, or something like it.
Yes I play out often 8-10 times a month lately including at my church and an open mic I co-host, but I seldom can employ a full size rig Woohoo!
I'll try to get some good pics of the Acoustic rig on scene.

Acoustic 220/406 Bass Amplifier and Speaker Cabinet-Monster 350 Watts of Sound!! | eBay

Now I can see how valuable Talkbass is in black and white.

There is someone in France selling a 408 cabinet for 750€, thats around 1000 bucks and its in sloppy state. My wife would kill me if such a beast shows up in the garage lol. Some people do ask too much for a cabinet in bad state

Damm! I wish my 220 had that special 350 watt mod!

I just picked up a clean 370 and a 402 cab. The 402 cab is missing three of its foot caps.

Anyone know of a source now that sells them?

 

[ghostinthemach]

Ebay search:
speaker cabinet feet
Yields good results.

 

[JacklegBass]

He probably means foot cups. An overseas user had a batch custom made once, but that was years ago. I occasionally see some on the 'bay that are for Marshall cabinets, and I think fliptops has some chrome ones, but I have no idea if they would fit into the circular Acoustic indentation.

Oh those things. Yeah my 406 wide needs those also. No ideas.

 

[bostrowskij]

A guy on the old ACC forum sold them but they're all gone now. Find someone with a 3D printer maybe?

 

[SwitchGear]

Perhaps the Marshall or even Ampeg cups could work in an Acoustic cab? I will keep diggin'. Thanks gents.

 

[StingRay85]

What model is this?

A 401 that got ported afterwards?
