The Acoustic Club

[Count Bassie]

Oh boy, a new group to join. I have three acoustic bass ukes, actually two with one that was converted from a Yamaha junior 22.5" scale guitar, the others are a Gold Tone GT MicroBass 23" fretted and a Rondo Hadean 20" walnut cutaway. Can I get a number?

So give the man a number! Cheers man, a totally reasonable mistake!

It's about time, too, I'd say...

I was selling my 370. It's big and primitive, and just lately I'm thinking about the fact that I'm playing in the company of people who have their presentation together, both personally and gear-wise. I'm not the guy who's ever been into his appearance in that way, not really.
I'm just trying to keep working, maybe even move my game up. My body's going to get sick of climbing around on houses someday!

Anyway, some recent activity has reminded me of how much I have regarded and wanted a 370, and how successful an amp it has been for me. So I've nixed my for sale ad.
For now at least!

Yeah my 370/408 has been for sale for 10 years!

You have a 408 for sale?!

Oops, and I also didn't read that it's in the Amps and Cabs forum. My bad.

Thanks! But this set up is more current.

Still messing with it. Pedals to setup, I’m gonna put the MoMarks in wood racks like the above pic.

I love messing with it all!

The Peavey MK 4 tank!..they are like duct tape to bass players. I keep one around too. most dependable amp ever made, imo.

Abused and still rocks! Can run at two ohms!
Two channels, for my stereo basses.(mono of course). When I didn’t want to take two amps.

Sat on top of my Acoustic 301 cab many times.

yep - indestructible and always turns on. now that I'm down to only my Gen 1 150 head working (just put my 370 n shop and doesn't look good ;( ) my Mark iv and a SWR Workingman 4004 are waiting in the wings.

Bummer about the 370. I’ve got 2 that need some attention. What’s going on with yours?

 

[billgoodwin]

was hoping just volume pot had crapped the bed, but message from tech that he's going through it good today supposedly checking to see if problem is in pre-amp or power then start testing transisitors and caps.

. I just got my Gen 2 150 head from him, that I now will have to parts out for my other one. There were 2 transistors he could not get anywhere that were toast.

Best of luck. I’m hoping my issues are just bad solder joints in the preamp.

Other than the large inductors for EQ and tone control, I can't think of any part in a 370 that can't be found or successfully substituted. Which transistors?
