Not really guys as I'm 52 years old and have been playing on these beauts for 35 years. I'm just new to this website and hallejuah, I got logged on. Thanks for whoever it was that helped me into this website. I just wanna tell you members of several nice K's I have picked up on since I got my studio set up. First of all, Tucks have vanished from this area in Vicksburg MS that used to be common due to the decline in the music scene. It's a shame but Thank God for Ebay. I found a mint black K-50 textured nauga with mint cover and logo that was literally a little ole ladys amp in Missouri a few years ago for 385.00. She had bought it in 1969, played it 6 months and stuck it in a closet. A dude put it on Ebay, I won it by $3.00 and it is a jewel, not a mark anywhere. However the speaker was frozen up from humidity and dust so I replaced it with a 16 ohm Vintage 30 Celestion greenback and DOES IT TALK? Cranked up full it sounds like a Marshall tube with a lot of gain. Next I found a K100 blue tuck 2-12 with bass module in California for $650.00 with both covers. It is my pride and joy and was my keyboard amp for Hammond XK2 and Yamaha digital grand because it sounds great. But now I've found a near mint black K100 1-15 (if I can ever get the guy to ship it)that has a guitar module with reverb and tremelo which I will add a horn at the top to make my primary keyboard amp for the wedding reception gigs we do. I will swap the chassis so the two-twelve will be guitar in blue and the one-fifteen will have the bass head in black. Since the years of haulin' k200 series to clubs has taken a toll on my back, these little K100's are my favs as they are powerful enough but lighter and easier to handle. I will be looking for a red K100 in the near future if anyone has a tab on one. I also love my Mark 3 Kasino head with a 4-10 Ampeg bass cab that I refurbished in red elephant grain Marshall tolex. It looks awsome!! Thanks
