Hey to all you ACC fans. I wanted to alert you to a classified I ran across:

For Sale/Trade - Acoustic 370 with Greenboy Dually 215

This is not mine, but it used to be. The dually was custom made to my specs, and it was bought to pair with the ACC 370 and get the most out of it. It's a pretty sweet deal.

No serious reason for the picture. Just a question for ACC fans: How many of you got re-creation of Acoustic Black Widow by Eastwood?

Nice bass! I had an OG Black Widow for a little while. One of the Japanese-made ones. It was an incredible sounding bass but it was way too heavy for me so I didn't keep it for long. I'm pretty sure it was 34" scale but it felt way longer than that the way it sat on a strap. I loved it, but at 5'7" 150lbs, it was a bit much for me to play on a gig.

This one is about 6-7 lb (it's chambered body)

Awesome! The OG is a T-40 level back breaker.

Now that's a demolition unit there!

The 470 setups are for guitar though.

I would buy the 3 heads and 2 301s in a heartbeat, only 750 usd. In Europe you cannot even get a single 371 stack for less than 1000€.

I'm not currently playing. But I wanted a solid half stack in case an opportunity arose. Here's my new Acoustic B200H and Carvin Red Line 410

Bump.

Amazing sound amp, even with bass. Drive channel is ruthless

Started to "fix" my 370 covering.
Removed hardware, took guts out.
I want to replace the AC power cord to a molded 3 prong. Feel free to advise where to attach the ground.
I want to dust/wipe down the inside. Should I short out the caps or just be careful. I had electronics in high school.73-74, so not real afraid of it.

The previous owner said one of the jacks on the back was re-wired to an input. I don't see evidence if it, I'll point out the jack in the pics.
If anyone sees anything out of order, feel free to advise.

I'm prob going to use spray truck bed liner for the cab.

Opinions please....should I paint the recessed handle assembly? Or leave it original.

I'll also post the serial for those who don't want to open theirs up. It is dated on the amp frame.
Thanks to all.

Edit spelling.

Addendum.
What is this red button for?

Addendum.
What is this red button for?

It defeats the automatic gain control circuit (AGC) temporarily for setting up during servicing.

Thank you. I won't push it.

I was gonna say "DON'T PUSH THE RED BUTTON!!!"

Yes short the caps but not with a screwdriver. You need to use a drain resistor (google it). You absoluteky need to remove the death cap when you go three prong. You can google that too. Im typing fast becuase I have to go and drive my Mom home (cant let my wife catch me on TB). PM me and Ill send you the service manual and schematic (and 3 prong cobersion) when I get back.

Awesome
