Members ericz Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 Just found out that Jaco and John Paul Jones used the same amp. I'd kill a man for that setup. They went outta business in the 80's. I wonder how much one of the stacks would go for nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Paul Jones used the 370/301 stack. Jaco used the 360/361. And they're not that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members justinbass Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 There is a reason no one makes folded horn bass cabs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ericz Posted August 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 John Paul Jones used the 370/301 stack.Jaco used the 360/361.And they're not that expensive. Acoustic 361 bass stack, consisting of an Acoustic 360 bass pre-amplifier and one or two Acoustic 361 W-bins, each featuring a built-in 200-watt RMS power amplifier and a rear-facing 18" Cerwin-Vega loudspeaker. Ebay doesn't have anything. Where else would I look for a 30 year old amp? That would just be cool to own even if I didn't use it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pickdust Posted August 5, 2007 Members Share Posted August 5, 2007 When I was coming up a lot of guys used the 360/361 rig. They were plenty loud! I went to many an outside gig where the first thing I heard, when I got near the venue, was the 360/361. Man those carried a long way. I'm sure the folded horn cabinet (and the 18") allowed for a more developed bass wave. The only knock I had, and still have, is that they were a total loss on the high end and tended to be somewhat woofy with very pronounced mids. Still ....it was one of the killers of the day.

Jaco used the "Variamp" EQ controls on his two Acoustic 361 amplifiers to boost the midrange frequencies, thus accentuating the natural growling tone of his fretless passive Fender Jazz Bass and roundwound string combination. Listened to him for years, looked him up on Wikipedia for something and learned a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
