Dood Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's all change in gear land .. But not big rig stuff, just changing out some of my teaching and workshop gear. I bought my Acme B2 from 'Soliloquy' who imported the cabinet brand new, owned it about 3 months and as I understand it, wanted two B1's instead, so sold it in it's brand new state to me. I'll post some pictures of my B2. I haven't used it for gigs as I always use my Hartke rig, but I have taken the cab to the odd rehearsal (quiet sessions) and has been used at home for teaching. Have a look at www.acmebass.com for full details. This example is the version 2 in 8 ohms with carpet covering. There's the odd mark and small scuff on the outer plastic work, but absolutely does not affect sound or operation. I am asking £350 plus shipping (or pickup) which is a marked saving on the cost of importing/taxes/duties/shipping from US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Did I really only buy the thing in January? Lol!

funkle Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Free bump. My main cabinet for bigger gigs. Filled large halls/weddings with this, no problem. Though mine's the 4 ohm version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohn Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I miss my Low B2s. What's different in the series 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's different in the series 2?[/quote] I believe one of the main improvements was to use 'self resetting fuses' for the midrange and tweeters instead of the 'light bulbs' that had to be replaced every time they blew. Not a nice job having to unscrew the grill, then remove a speaker, then get to the crossover..etc etc.. I believe the rest were cosmetic upgrades and making the total weight less too. I'd have to go take a look at the information on the website again for anything else! oh wait - I just thought of something! - The banana sockets and 1/4" jack sockets have been replaced with a pair of the far stronger Speakon (+ 1/4") combo sockets.

Dood Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Trade bait list: 1. I'm looking for a smallish Line 6 combo for guitar. I'll get some model numbers of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwilym Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 These are great cabs - I currently have 2 of them and 2 B1's so I won't be buying this one I've gigged the 4ohm B2 on its own a few times now (with my Mark Bass F500) and never had a problem getting enough volume (even with no PA support), despite their reputation for having relatively low sensitivity.

Dood Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks Gwilym! Yes, I have a MarkBass F1 as well as the Hartke LH1000 and they both sound great with the Acme cab extended bottom end. I'm selling the Acme as I am funding a Bass combo and a Guitar combo for my teaching. I'd keep the cab if I had both the space and the spare cash!
