Acoustic 370

The Acoustic 370 is a bass guitar amplifier head. It’s a simple head but sounds cool and still gives you a decent amount of control. I don’t know the wattage of this amplifier and I’ve only tried it out once in the studio. The amp has two ¼” inputs in the front of it and a speaker output in the back.



UTILIZATION

It’s not at all hard to use the Acoustic 370. You’ll have plenty of EQ control which is always nice too. The main controls are knobs for volume, treble, mid-range, and bass, but you also get a five band graphic EQ for further and more specific control in the 50 Hz to 400 Hz range which can be quite important for bass guitar. It’s easy to use and a manual shouldn’t be needed.


SOUNDS

While I haven’t recorded too many bass tracks with the 370, I’ve definitely liked the sound of it when I have used. I don’t remember the cabinet that we were using with this amp for recording but I don’t think it was an Acoustic. Any decent cabinet should do the trick. It’s not the best overall sounding bass amp I’ve used as I do prefer an Ampeg for sure. Still, it’s definitely quality and is it’s own sound that differs from an Ampeg and other bass amps.


OVERALL OPINION

I don’t think it would cost you too much to get your hands on an Acoustic 370 and could be a good choice for the bass player looking for a very nice amp head without springing from a top of the line new head. I don’t know how old these are but I guess they would be considered vintage at this point. You should be able to find some used to check out so I’d recommend doing so if you want a generally fairly priced bass amp head.

Head transistor 350 w (350 w which required), simple settings: volume, acute, medium, low, a five-band equalizer, a bright button to boost the treble and basta. A body (unit 301) refrigerator with a cabinet type 18 inches in the belly where the magnet is positioned in front and a vent reference sound.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, plug and the sound is there. Ideal on a big stage or outdoors, in a bar you can not operate and if you loose the boss will introduce the note bottles broken jack!
Disadvantage: weigh the weight of a dead cow.

SOUNDS

Its roots, excellent for rock and reggae.

OVERALL OPINION

I have not used for some time (bulky and heavy), but I listened a live recording of my old band with this amp: whaouuu any bass sound, the shot will make him redo the air.

Monsters and power quality. TRANSISTOR.

UTILIZATION

Varis sound and efficient, modern or "vintage" just rgler!

SOUNDS

I do not hate nothing but a power that comes a bit too fast (300w). Cursors lack progressiv. so be careful. in an apartment, use the atenuateur, and live or studio, LET YOU! (but respect the ears of others!) I think after having taton on many functions, it manages to sound almost perfect shape. . and no lamps to change, not stand-by after 5 minutes .. it gives a good heat and sound very definite.

OVERALL OPINION

I tried and had a lot of amps but we must recognize that the trademark acoustic can demonstrate a certain "all lamps" good + expensive and less reliable .. (it must be said that this brand was very expensive us and almost inaccessible early 80).
