Kustom bass 5

[Jrutt]

I bought this little practice amp for $40 dollars. It was made in chanute, kansas. I'm trying to find out the year it was made. I think maybe pre 1970's.

Hmm... All it says is "Kustom Bass 5". Any pics?

I suspect one of the late 70's offerings after Bud Ross sold off the company. Doesn't appear in any of the catalog pages I've got from earlier times.

This is what it looks like...

There should be date codes on the back of the speaker and on the back of the potentiometers, that should help provide a better idea of the date of manufacture.
