Hi, folks:

Just today I picked up a 1970 Kustom K200 bass amp with a 3x15 speaker cabinet, tuck & roll, in black, with its original covers, in great condition. I'm still learning a bit about it, having been a Marshall/Fender guy all my life, and luckily, I happened upon this website.

Normally, I'd never have thought of acquiring a Kustom, but I recall them being well-regarded in my youth (I'm 55 now). And last summer, at a county fair, I happened to hear a pretty good rock band, whose name I forget, who exclusively used vintage Kustom gear (except for the guitars, I'll add). I was impressed, and didn't forget about that evening. Well, I got an itch to try playing bass guitar lately, bought one, and I didn't care for the sound through my Marshall stack. No depth or presence. So I've been amp hunting. And today I made the purchase, only a little bit on impulse. I have to say the Kustom sounds very good with a Fender Jazz Bass, the little I've played it so far, and I'm looking forward to working with it a lot more. Yeah, it'll rattle the windows, but at my age, 100 watts isn't as loud as it used to be. But it does have a nice tone.

Anyway, I may post some pics and ask if anyone can help ID the amp and cab for me, if I can't figure it out based on the literature available here.

Regards,
Ampaholic
