Oh, I've played through plenty of Acoustic 360s and own a 220 head with a 402 cab, but 3500 when it's not even an original ACC 360?..

This stuff is now similar to any other reissue/replica of a classic, like reproductions of old cars. Funny how the innards of these old things are so simple, but they go for premium bread.

For my money, if I had some, I'd go find an old beat to hell one and restore it instead. Have an actual old, well used piece with a story to muse at could be even inspirational.

I just don't understand the extender. I understand wanting to have the low D, but I don't understand why you want an extender to get there. It makes more sense to me to have your bass tuned BEAD. And for those that want EADG too, well, have two basses - because you always need another.. Or, you could even go with a 5 string...

There are lots of things I don't understand, so I will get over it. But if someone can explain what I am missing, I would be at least modestly appreciative.

If this is of any help, always take what i say with, (is there such a thing as), less then a grain of salt?

I like the extender, and mind you, I do have a bass tuned BEAD but if I'm playing a set that only requires on drop D song, it saves from packing/taking another bass to the gig..

For @Gaolee, cause he knows what this badd@ss is all about.

For Sale - Acoustic 360

Oh, man! What were we saying about self-restraint? If I was close enough and had a spare kidney laying around, that's an amazing deal for a Grexa 360 and TWO cabinets. You would never, ever need power like that, but it sure would be fun to have on tap, just in case. And there's the sound that comes out. Those make a standard issue Ampeg sound like it has a head cold.
