I went into Music-Go-Round yesterday and picked up a new-as-used Kustom KBA100, brought it home, plugged it up, and proceeded to knock things off the walls in the house *next*door* with it.
It's got tons of low end, the Celestion driver is responsive and moves a ton of air, the effects are decent, and the thing is LOUD AS HELL.
What I want to know is: Why do these things have such a low resale value? This thing seems to be quite a workhorse, and more than adequate as an on-stage monitor for moderately-sized shows, yet I see them for $150 - $250 all the time.
All the reviews I've read say the amp is great, mostly pro's with very few (and inconsistent) cons, so why the low resale value? Why were there *four* new-as-used KBA100's sitting at Music-Go-Round yesterday, virtually untouched?
I have 30 days to return it for pretty much any reason, and could easily return it for the KBA200, which was the same price and is 100W more powerful, but I really like the Flange 2 effect on the 100, and it's more than loud enough for any applications I may have for it for at least the next year.
Any light you kind folk can shed on this subject would be greatly appreciated
OH YEAH, Same Music-Go-Round has an EIGHT STRING WishBass for $300. I asked them why it was so cheap and they said "It needs a good setup". For anyone interested, it's at the Columbus-EAST Music-Go-Round. I'd buy it, but it would hang on my wall forever and never get played. Right now, 4 strings is plenty for me
What's the Deal With the Kustom KBA100?
