Sunday I'm picking up a Kustom K-200 guitar cab, which will be number 3 to my kollection. I'll have two aluminum ported ones which are a little on the shabby side, and the K-200B which is absolutely the cleanest t&r cab I've ever seen. Only one tear in the back.

A friend emailed me and said she has a Kustom Hustler (or another combo, but she specifically said Hustler, so we'll see), and a few heads along with a 3x15 cab. Since I already have cabs up the wazoo, I told her I'd take a look at it.

Another friend said he has a 2x15 Kustom with the horn and a B-1 brain. 200$. Will be snagging this soon.

Dang... you're catching up to me.... The Hustler is one I'd like to have too...75 watts and 4-10's is a great guitar setup...the 1st guitar player I ever played with had a Kasino Club amp with 60 watts and 4-10's Sam also know how to not over decibel the rest of the band... A problem my current axe player has....I wish I had a remote to mute Gary 3 to 6 db close to where my thumb rests on my bass..... The Blue 200B2 is here and I'll have the cab reassembled tonight to try out... Smile

LOL!!! That would be me! I actually got more replies from people who HAVE them, but were not interested in selling. If I'd gotten every piece of t&r from everyone who replied I'd have 10 2x15 cabs... I can't even fit the two I'm getting with the two I already have, lol! But one person did reply and said he has a Kustom 200 with the covers from 1971, and another person said she has the Hustler and a bunch of miscellany heads...

Hey Shawn,
In one of your postings, you mentioned a "K-200 2x15 with folded horn (forthcoming)"
Is it really a 2x15 folded horn?

Not sure some of you are aware of some of the LARGE Collections out there - But most likely the largest is Terry's:

Please check it out - It's incredible!

I actually haven't even SEEN that cab yet, but that's what my friend Charlie says he has... a B1 with a 2X15 with the horn. I'm not going to get my hopes up on it, but I'm curious as to what he has as far as that goes. He's got a lot of vintage equipment that he just needs to unload. I will keep everyone posted on this. I myself love the regular 2x15s... Knowing my luck it'll be the regular horn, but he described it as 'cast iron' which I think is what it is...

Yeah, that is a KOLLECTION... It's amazing what he has. Right now I just want the whole B-series on 2x15s, the combos, and I'll take it from there...

I Think what the guy means is he has a 3x15 siren horn cabinet which would a 2x15 speakers and the 15" siren horn.

That's what it sounds like. I mean, I've seen a few with the cast irons, but they weren't tuck and roll. Either way, they LOOK cool... Is one of them about the same size as a regular Kustom with 2 heads on them? I'm just gauging....

That is probably a late Tn'R pa/guitar cab with the cast horn...for 200 it's a steal....I'm jealous!!! There is a Kustom 2-15 folded horn cab but it looks like mid 70's (on Ebay) with the K-III series head. I wasn't aware they made them... I don't remember looking at that in a brochure when I was trying to upgrade my rig back then. I knew about the T&R 1-18 which I have but the only bass cabs were 1-15,2-15 and 4-12 for the K-IV head for the mid 70's Kustoms. Very Happy

Well, I know he said it's tuck and roll... says top and bottom match. Showed him my pic of my stuff and he said yup... that's it. He says he has a B1 head with the Bright... I really can't wait to see it... Even if the head is just a B1... I'm okay with that...

And to hell with this expensive shipping!!!!!...I've blown most of my wad on Blue Sparkly stuff.LOL!!!!! But I do have enuf to do a whole stage in Blue Very Happy

Kraig, that non tuck and roll folded horn cabinet with the kustom lll bass head is actually a folded 2x12 cabinet. It is kustoms 1212 cabinet and was made for PA use. Kustom offered them in two versions, standard speakers and upgrade EV SRO 12" speakers.

I was wondering If it was a pa cabinet....I wasn't interested in Pa stuff in the 70's..just Bass...tho it would make a good bass cab... Especially with SRO's.. I installed a 15" SRO in my 1st Charger...Wish I still had it!!!!!! Until I saw that Ebay ad I never knew Kustom made anything other than the 1-18 cab in a folded horn design. I didn't think it was a 2-15 FH...wasn't wide enuf in the ebay pix.

You've been a great help to me and is appreciated more than I can say thanks for...hope you can help him...maybe that JBL cab for 125 that was in New York...on CL He's close to you in Mass...

I don't really "know" him but he's posted looking for a 2-15 cab with JBL's While rereading the snaggings posts the 10 cabs you'd been offered and same state status I thought you might be able to point him in a direction to pursue his quest...Heck If a cab is available I usually grab it.... I've seen only a few single cabs in my area. You seem to find lots more stuff but could be the densly populated area you live in..makes sense that you might be able to lend a hand.... Wasn't there a gold 2-15 in your area recently??? I haven't read a response from him yet so I have no idea if he's even seen it yet. He's not a frequent poster by his own admission so he may not check the site as often as you or I might.

He is looking for a very specific cab. Even the gold one out in Westernmass isn't what he's looking for. I've sent him a few links, but nothing seems to pacify him... He knows what he wants, what can I say?

Since he said he would consider recovering the cab I thought he might also consider installing D130's or 140's of outside aquisition and different impedance to get a 4 ohm cab.. I wouldn't think twice about doing so If I needed it... If not he's going to have a tough time finding a spare Gold JBL Frank cabinet. He could always sell the old speakers to one of us collectors needing to restore one of our cabs....Well...I tried to help.... There was a guy selling 4 JBL's that were 16 ohm on CL recently $100 each if you took all 4...Those were later JBL's
w/o the AL dust cap. Dust caps could be replaced at nominal cost. Time for surgery...L8R

He said he would re-cover one only if it was the earlier 2X15s... Kind of like my endless search for an A4... I decided not to get the A3, because I feared the next day that damned A4 would pop up!

LOL!!!!!! 5 years or so ago when I was looking for a Charger I looked and looked and looked..nothing..... Then I took a shot at another Kollector and he came thru with a lead which I ultimately aquired... I was lucky and met him at the Kollector Konvention in Chanute this year!!!! Now it seems like they are all over the place!!!!! But out of all I've seen was 1 blue in new york earlier this year...I did make a best effort at it tho so I'm not going to whine tooooooo....much!!!

LOL! Same story here. When I first started kollecting there was zilch to be found. Took forever to find that K200B cab. Now there are plenty, but at their peak I didn't have enough for most of them...

If your looking for something specific then ZILCH!!! it is. It's those unexpected treasures that make it rewarding. Especially when Bryan covers your amp with his Kustom trinkets..
