Always an interesting walk down memory lane when visiting my mom and dad’s house.

My very first “big” amp. Loved it when I was 18. We both had a brief, but exciting time together! It shook buildings. Hopefully, it’s still thundering, but on a ground floor dwelling. I used to have to schlep it up a flight of stairs to my 2nd floor flat.

Did you use the horn?

The horn was my 'secret weapon' ( along with RS66 )

I had the Acoustic 370 Head & 301 (371 Combo) I bought new in 1976. It was a monstrous sound. The reverse 18" refrigerator sized cabinet was a killer to move around. I sold the cabinet years ago; but, I still have the 370 head setting in my kitchen right now. It has been worked on several times over the years. I would love to use it but it weighs so much. I currently have an Acoustic B600h head but it is not the same as the 370.

This is what my amp rig looked like.

Nice! I still have the Fender 400 PS equivalent (18" folded W horn cab) and it puts the low in "low end"!
It's bass you can feel. It's also the size of a small refrigerator. I was always getting compliments on my bass tone. Not mine but exact same:

We all had these huge amps we lugged around and they sounded great. Now I see bands with IEM and everything is FOH speakers.
I gotta feel my bass besides just hearing it. Old School I guess.

I so agree. On a related note to your point, this is why I still play my upright instead of an EUB. Gotta feel it!

When I first got my Acoustic rig, I squeezed it into a 1974 Mustang hatchback like this one. After about 8 months of doing that, I bought a custom van to haul my gear.

Here I was at Agency Recording Studio in Cleveland, OH in August 1978 with my Acoustic rig. We had to lug it up to the second floor of the studio. The cabinet had so much low end that I had to cut the low end on the EQ.

Here is a short, scratchy clip from a vinyl 45 record of "Bring It On Home" we recorded that day.

Totally impressed with those harmonies! Nice walking bass line too.
