My dad bought me my first big rig and it was similar to the Kustom. It was a sparkle blue rig called Plush.
Cabinet had 3 15" speakers and weighed a ton. Head and cab was covered in that couch like sparkle blue material. Head was all tubes but cannot remember the wattage. Went great with my blue '79 Rick 4001.

Yep - there were a few Kustom-like 'roll & pleated' amps then (can't recall the other one...) and they all rocked at least 2x15" speaker cabs. BIG fat low-end w/o definition.

Currently on eBay (no affiliation) - a lefty '77 "FANG" P-bass. Those of you who know who Fang is/was need no explanation. :bassist: Interestingly enough I had this same fabric at one point - sewed a cover for a foam mat that fit my '66 Volvo 122s station wagon with the back seat down for sleeping on! Loved that car.

Aftermarket brass nut - I love how Fender delt with a lefty hs as far as branding.

Mine looked like this exactly, but with a factory roof rack - I so wish I still had this car, it was a great, great vehicle.

Looks so good! What about the decals? Bit unusual?
