hey Jerry, Aaron from Ed Gein here. I think I talked to you about my non-working Sunn Concert Bass amp awhile ago...anyway, it has kind of sat around in my garage for a few months because I havent had the time to check it out and see what the problem could be. I finally had some time to look at it yesterday and found that a resistor is fried. I believe it is a 22ohm +-10% resistor (i'm not sure how to tell what the W rating is). I have also done some research and found that a lot of people have had problems with their old Sunn Concert Bass's because all the wire connections to the board are done with poles and those slip on connectors instead of being soldered, so the connections tend to get dirty and corroded. My question is, could you give me a ballpark estimate for replacing that fried resistor, and cleaning up and soldering the wire connections to the board? I'm just looking for your best guess estimate without actually seeing the amp...I dont really have the money to do anything with it right now, I'd just like to get an idea of around how much I'm going to need to save up. Thanks a lot Jerry!

Hey Aaron,
I'd really have to see it before I can give you a price. I'll have to find out why the resistor is fried. Something else caused the resistor to fail. It will cost around $30 to check it over and see what it needs.
Did you tell me you were looking for an Acoustic bass amp before? I know a guy locally that has an Acoustic 370 head for sale. He had a single 18" cab that went with it too, but he may have sold that.

yeah, i kind of figured you would have to see it. Alright, when I get some money saved up I'll be in touch. I was definately looking for an Acoustic. I ended up with an Acoustic 320. But I am definately interested in that 370! I originally wanted a 370, but couldnt find one in good shape for a reasonable price. Do you have any other info on it? What kind of shape its in, how much he wants for it, etc.? I'd love to get my hands on an Acoustic 406 2x15 cab, or a 408 4x15 cab....if you ever hear of one of those monsters being sold locally let me know!

Aaron,
He wants $425 for the Acoustic 370 head and the Acoustic 301 single 18" cab.
