In the early days of Status Quo, Alan Lancaster used an Acoustic Control Corporation 360 Bass Amp. This setup can be seen in the background during their live performance of "Don't Waste My Time" and "Paper Plane" at The Marquee in 1972, as captured in a video by pirate61ster on YouTube. After the "Hello!" sessions, the amp was retired.
