Some great 361 action here. The video has nice resolution for 1971

LOL see post 5182!

And I thought the SVT I played through in the 80s was devastating. Oh, man....

Is that a new aquisition?

 

[StereoPlayer]

Woah 360 siting!
Great band.

Somehow missed your post. Nice video!

 

[KingFace]

No, I got it about 10 years ago from an acoustic collector in Florida.

The Thunderbird is a whole other story!

 

[KingFace]

What a gorgeous combination!
I'll bet they don't sound half-bad together, as well.

Not too shabby at all! That said, my neighbors aren't as enthusiastic about it as I am, for some bizarre reason.

Sick!

 

[StingRay85]

Beautiful.... That early logo plate is killin' me.

We would like to know the serial numbers ;-)

The cosmetic condition looks stellar

I wish I still had my 301 Lifetime Warranty card. I think I threw it out after I sold my cab.
Now, I got the cab back...

I have my old 370 head, but really wish I still had the 301 cabinet. That combo is just so much more resilient and tougher at withstanding the bumps and bangs on the road than the 360/361. But, NYC apartment-living isn't very conducive to multiple massive amps?

Man, would i love to pay a visit and hear that bad boy, along with that beauty of a Tbird.

Back to following this thread and now you guys have me GASing for an Acoustic cab for my 370.

Lemme give the floor I live on, and the ones below and above me, first.

That's my fave combination from my ACC bundle. I'll get to trot it out in a couple months at an annual outdoor event

(shhhh......I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas )

I had a 320 and a 408 cabinet to run it though. The 320 had its factory foot switch, too. Both had covers. I traded them away and kept the 360 stack. I sometimes wonder if that was a bad choice. Then I fire up the 360 stack and don't think about it again.

 

[Gaolee]

I think you're spot on. My friend's 220 is the amp that got me hooked on Acoustic. Before then I had to have toobz. The 320 is more refined and clear. I can make it sound similar to the 370 and the 360+ pre with some drastic EQ settings. My 370 just grinds in a really cool way when you push it hard. I'm not sure if that's what it's supposed to sound like or if it's because of wear and tear breaking it down over the years. Never tried a 470 but I did have a 450 for a little while. I remember loving it through my 402 but not liking it at all through a 301 and an Ampeg 8x10. I sold that one to help fund the 370.

Funny thing is I liked the 320 I had far better than the 370. Maybe it was because I was running them through a 408 cabinet, which isn't the 370's thing. I like the 360 better than either of them, although marginally more than the 320/408 stack.

 

[Gaolee]

Serial number 1089, that's one of the first 100 produced. I guess I'll just buy a small converter, keep it original and avoid having to mess with the power supply. Now I need to unload a bunch of stuff to fill up the hole.

Mine is 1007 or 1009. I don't remember which right off the top of my head. It's got a somewhat different kind of switch for the tuning fork - not a toggle. It's a white nylon pushbutton looking thing. I don't know if that was original or if somebody put it there later, but it works and it looks completely outrageous.

Yours is in better cosmetic condition than mine. Armageddon never sounded better than a 'Bird and a 360 in my opinion. Actually, that's not an opinion. It's just a fact.

Line 'em up and sleep on top of them.

I never played a 320. I have had in the past the 150B, 370 and the 270. I loved the 370, but also really liked the EQ points for the 270 on bass.

Now that's the kind of insane, over-indulgent kind of idea I can get behind!
