Howdy! I'm a new Kustom Kollector and user [message #24054]

Of all of my eclectic stuff, the Kustom T&R stuff is my most space taking. My father has several more pieces in various colors, but the photos show what I have moved to my new house minus the 2x10" cab for the 100 head you see. My main focus here is to upgrade the heads to a grounded cable to stop the terrible buzz they seem to have (minus the one that appears to have a factory 3 prong plug?)

*Apparently I cannot post images yet* If a mod could fix that to make my intro interesting, that would help alot.

Slow to wit but worth the wait.

Added the grounded plug will not necessarily eliminate your noise problem. Primarily it protects you from getting shocked when touching a mic or other grounded object. Welcome aboard.

I came up with a little system of color coding the plug and the ways the switch could be thrown. Nothing like stepping up to the mic and having an arc go from toe lips to the microphone! Same with my guitar though too until I got the wireless setup.

if anybody wants to post pictures on here just go to photobucket.com and upload your photos and it will give you a code to copy and paste.

I'm not sure what I would trade it for or what I could ask for it. I am in Minnesota, so getting it somewhere over post would be ridiculous.

The 200 head is on the far left, The tape was just stuck on there. Nothing is missing/broken. The 300 head on top is something like 60 pounds! The knobs are really tight. Just haven't had the time to pull it all apart.

Maybe my father would be willing to give up his gold 200 head. Do you have any photos?

I figure what I really need are pedals. I can beat a great surf sound out of the reverb heads, but not much for overdrive.

Ashley.ackley@outlook.com A am looking for an overdrive pedal mostly. My old samick has humbuckers and the head is clean through. I like playing my 50s, but I also like a nice hard crunch.

Fun fact- The bass head 250 fits perfectly in a T-Top storage bag!
