I've come to realize that as a native South Floridian, my knowledge of Canada is limited to knowing the location of the major cities, i.e. Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Dog River.
Might as well, you've got the pickups right there, would be a shame to waste them
....and gives it a bit of a "steam punk" aesthetic.
That is of course the mighty Michael Henderson playing with Miles in the seventies but what is the Acoustic head with more knobs? Maybe a guitar head counterpart to a 360 preamp?
It's probably for Reggie Lucas the guitarist, there was also other Acoustic cabs on stage at that time.
See also the stacking of the cabs. I bet everyone heard the bass at that venue....

There’s a joke in there somewhere.
RE: SVT vs. 360
John Wetton used SVT heads with folded horn Vega cabs when he was in Uriah Heep in 1975. I also recall reading that he had Hiwatt stack "at full treble" behind them. In '76 he switched to a Marshall.

Both are pretty cool.
But i'm at a crossroads with my amp right now.
Might be time for a new flavor.
What i'd have to spend on a repair, i can just get something really cool used.
And no money moves at all to after the Cali trip.

It adds an element of Kara style to it.
To be fair, it probably looked like an anagram before coffee.Yeah, acronym.

The one with all the knobs is probably a 260, which is for guitar. Unless he was using it as some kind of bass tone thing.

Folded horns are pretty dark. It is why I always have the bright switch engaged on the original and appreciate the treble horn on the Grexa reissue.
You can get some really great tones using guitar amps. One show I played I used a small Orange stack that was there and it sounded amazing. I never had to turn on my dirt pedal.
Yeah, acronym.
shaging hate acronyms with a passion, I always make peepholes that spout them, tell me what they stand for.
most can't
A '69 100 watt Marshall Super Lead Plexi makes for a good bass amp in that regard.
I was careful, never fried the amp.
