I'm feeling nostalgic and trying to hunt down my first bass amp. It was a Kustom II, 65 watt 115 combo amp. I bought it back in the late 70's. Loaned it to a friend and never saw it again. I remember really liking the sound that came out of that little sucker and would love to have another for small gigs. Any help would be appreciated!

I love Kustom amps, and had the very same amp in college. When I had to move out of town after graduating, my dad trashed it! Anyway I strted on guitar and had a Kustom I SC (35W 1x12) f0r a while and now I found my holy grail, a 1978 Kustom III SC (130W 2x12). It doubles as a 2x12 cab for my Kustom Defender 15 Head.

I bought this one around 1999 and still have it. I think they’re selling for less than what I paid for back then, but it definitely has sentimental value to me. Just recently cleaned the pots and it still works great

Just ran across this feed. If you're still looking for one I'm selling my Kustom II bass amp. Still works and sounds great! Pots need cleaned. Has a Peavey TKO-1556-MI Blue Marvel speaker. Not sure where you're located but I'm in East Texas. Here's a link to some pictures.
