The Kustom Club

[brocco]

Here is a pic that you may have seen in another post. I absolutely love this rig- the cabs are JBL D140's. I have a matching set in Black with Altec 421-A's which sound a little "sweeter' if that makes sense. I own a bunch of Kustom tuck and roll.

SWEEEET ! Here is my 69' with 421a Altec's.This beauty had been in a guy's closet for 41 years.Pristine conditon.

I just picked up a Kasino 400 w/8-10's. The faceplate and chassis are mint. I'm restoring the cabinet. Is it possible to get the silver piping and correct vertical multi-stripe grille cloth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

My Rock band just bought a little Kustom PA for 300 bucks. Mainly just for rehearsals and possibly parties/small gigs.

Kustom Profile 200 - 100w per side, 6 channels and two speakers with dual 6.5 inch woofers + horn. Just for vocals and acoustic guitar (sometimes). It sounds good, keeps up with us at about 50 percent volume, does exactly what we hoped it would do.

Got a 3 year replacement warranty with it for 30 bucks, even if damaged they give us a brand new one. No tax, free shipping. Great deal.

Heys guys! Do you know by chance if the current KUSTOM KXB200 head ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) is the same old Kustom Deep End DE 200 head (Invalid Link Removed) with just a different look? The EQ looks identical and overall these 2 amps seem pretty similar. Any idea whether these sound different or not?

Hello All ... will upload pic of my Kustom rig later. I am on a bit of a fact finding mission about my gear. My (mid 70's) Kustom 2 Bass head (kustom 11-B) says it's output is 50 watts (back of the head) but it doesn't list ohms. The cabinet lists nothing on the back of it.

The cab w/ this is great but really heavy. I was thinking about looking into some of these newer cabs w/ NEO speakers to ease up on the chiropractor bills. I just don't want to blow speaker cabs or fry the Kustom 2.

Anyone have further info on this amp?

the coolest bass amp of the day that I played through (early 70s) was a Kustom 400 (stereo) with 4 3-15" CTS cabs... it was a big club, and the sound was a little 'boxy' next to the cabs, but sounded punchy and deep off the stage... you could almost watch the ashtrays walk across the tables... alas, I did not own the rig... I had an Acoustic 370 w/ 2 301 bottoms... killer loud, but I always defered the the other rig when it was available... (them were the days of 2 bands every night...)

 

[chuck norriss]

are kustom deep end 15" cabinets a good product? it seems they are one of the very few within reach.

Sorry to those messaging me and asking for numbers. I am no longer visiting TalkBass as a result of my compulsive bass buying habit.

Kustom 310c. Pulled the 1200 head, but it goes back in nicely. God, it's loud.

Here's my Black "72 Kustom K-50 (attempting to make it a combo bass amp), also my Blue "71 Kustom K-150 w/ 2X12Eminence bass speakers. Couple of my Danos in the front.

I'm one of those bassists who was alive and playing when these came out and who shares your opinion that Altecs sounded "sweeter" than JBLs. I like JBLs too.

cheers man
