Kustom KG210FX - anybody played one?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello, I am a complete newb to Bass playing. I'm older (50) and decided I wanted to make music. Tried a guitar but the strings are too close so I decided to try a bass. I happened to pick up an Ibanez 5 string entry level at the store and it felt good in my hands. The string spacing felt right. I went home and researched it and all the reviews I could find raved about it for the money ($199). I went back to buy it and of course it was sold so they ordered one for me. It should be in soon. Now I need to get an amp, obviously. I'm looking at the Kustom KG210FX right now because I'm thinking that fifth string is going to require an amp that can go low and two 10s sounds like the ticket. This is strictly for use in the mancave and maybe a little jamming after I get better with the kid across the street, who plays pretty good guitar and has a small practice amp.
Any thoughts? Am I on the right track with my thinking? Is there a better choice in the same price range? Definitely not higher priced. I have two people in braces at the same time, so money is tight.
Thanks

Not heard of that particular amp, but the KG part of it seems to designate keyboards, or guitar. There are dozens of good bass combo's available, you should wait till you've got the bass, then take it in and try some amps out for size. Never know what your ears will like. Just be sure it's an actual bass amp- and it doesn't *have* to be 210's either. a single 12, or 15 might do just as well or better. have fun.

I just looked at it again and it is a guitar amplifier, not bass.
Any recommendations?
