Best if the bunch for me. Solid tone. Very deep.

My first bass amp was thru an electronics book in 1966. It had 10 Watts. From there I have played thru them all, including Marshall Stacks and 2k amps. This time I was looking for something cheap, clean, and made the sound I wanted to hear. So after 2 hours of playing every amp they had, I chose this head and the BN 210 cabinet. Unbelievable sound for that price. I play serious music with serious musicians and they love this unit. The deep lows to the sustained treble highs, it all works like a system that sells for much more. With the addition of the 2-10 cabinet you get twice the wattage without paying more. I tried the same head into the Accoustic single 15" cabinet, and it lost its punch and the tone was weak. I play different kinds of music. I play with a blues quartet, a rock quartet, a '50's 6 piece, and a country quartet. This amp and speaker system will fit the bill for every one of those styles and every place we play. Just mike it into a giant pa for more coverage at fairgrounds or something. But for the average bar/lounge setting, this is all you will need.

Amp is fried

I was in the store two days ago and played through this amp. The B300HD model is great. It's not too heavy and sonically, it'ss quite versatile for a budget amp. Unfortunately, this specific head unit is fried. After around 5 minutes of playing through it, the sound got distorted and started fading until nothing was pushing through to the cabinet. After a short break, it would work for about another 5 minutes and then started acting up again. I plugged it into 3 different cabs and used 3 different bases just to make sure that it was the head unit. I brought it to the counter and told the salesman what had happened. He said that he would take care of it, but apparently it's still on the sales floor. I'm giving 2 stars only because of how it sounded before it blew up.

    I'm an experienced gigging bassist; in five bands over a 30-year timespan. I've been through my share of superior bass amps, therefore. Lately I've made the switch to (lighter) class D heads, disappointed with all except my (expensive) live performance amp. I also record at home and in our band's drummer's studio. The disappointment was due to fan noise, which impacted recording at lower output levels. I had positive experiences with Acoustic's B100 combo, but a lot of musicians here (and on Talk Bass) had issues with Acoustic heads, fan noise being a common one. I bumped into the Acoustic B300HD at a GC on clearance, so I just bought it to put it through its paces at home. Yes, it's a powerful bass amp with wonderful tone adjustments plus an effective onboard compressor—essential to my recordings—with virtually no fan noise. Beyond that I'm impressed by the simple design, the ruggedness of the control knobs and switching selectors, and the helpful lighting display...except that Acoustic could have gone the extra mile and provided lighting for control knobs; being black determining their positions will be a bit difficult when on stage (for those of you interested in performing in clubs, etc), but I didn't buy it for that purpose. I can't comment on reliability, so I can't recommend it based on that. To sum: Very capable, powerful and tweakable bass head suitable for gigging and recording. Because of this and the modest price tag (and nearly zero fan noise!) I rate it at five stars.

    I've used or played on a compact amp head thinking there wouldn't be any punch, but this head is a powerful Beast!

    Awesome bass amp. Easy to quickly change the sound you want with the notch filter and Super High or Super Low controls. I've been using Acoustic Amps for more than 40 years.

    Is the amp compatible with bass guitars with active pickup systems in them? I own two with active and one passive bass, but I don't want to commit to buying a budget bass amp with it only being able to work on my passive pickup bass.
