Basshole Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Acoustic Control Corp. 220 built around 1978-1982 Extremely Powerful Amp, Graphic EQ=Tone Monster My brother also uses it as a guitar amp. For $100 It seems like a very good pick up. Just though I would share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Have you gigged with it yet? If so, how does it hold up? I am old school and still believe in tube bass amps. Have heard nice things about Acoustic bass amps, just a little leery since it is solid state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I haven't gigged with it yet, I have cranked it and it gets loud, Good tone. Much more reliable and louder than tubes, I used to have a Super Bassman 135. This thing kicks balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 tubes for bass amps are over-ra................ well, im not gonna say it, because everyone and their mother thinks that something out there is over-rated, but it really kicks ***, lots of bottom end thud, while still keeping the musical tone of the note your hearing, you hear the note and you feel the note, not many bass amps can do that!

Basshole Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I was surprised how well it has been maintained, yes some of the knobs are missing. It still seems very crsip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 tubes for bass amps are over-ra................ At the risk of sounding like a big malaka, you obviously have never heard an Ampeg SVTAV or Silvertone 1483. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Can you post a demo? I'd love to hear it! Of course, if you can't, that's fine too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshole Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ever try the GK 800RB?Wonderful bass amp. SS too. Ive seen the new one's, yet to play the old ones built in the 80's I'm sure they make fine amps too. They only reason I got turned on to "Acoustic" amp was my brother traded one of the extra drum sets we had for a 136 combo. I feel in love ever since. I would really like to try out a Sunn Head and wonder why they are so expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
