Hi All... I'm looking for parts and basic info on the Kustom 200 head and cabs (I'm sure you've covered most these items in previous posts, but I'm a newbie, so go easy on me). I've recently purchased two 200 heads (1 bass model, 1 guitar w/verb and trem), two 215 CTS cabs, one 315 CTS cab, (all black) and a blue 150 combo with 1-15" CTS. I'm looking at a third 200 head now (Guess I got the bug!!!). Anyway, here's what I'm looking for...
#1. Handles. I've seen close approximations at vibroworld(?). Not sure of the name (I've got it bookmarked). These handles have a clear plastic insert. Does anyone have a line on the black insert handles.
#2. Knobs. I read one post regarding Ric knobs. Has anyone come up with anything else?
#3. Speakers. Has anyone out there tried Webers? I'm looking for a JBL D140 sound and they make a "California" Ceramic 15", 60 watts RMS, which they claim sounds like a JBL D130. I use these cabs primarily for bass. Any suggestions?
#4. Wattage rating. Is the 100 watt RMS rating for the 200 head at a 4 or 8 ohm load?
#5. A question for the bassists out there. Do you find yourself running the bass up around 3/4 of the way to get enough low end. The reason I'm asking is I wonder if perhaps there's something wrong with the amps (such as vintage tube amps needing recapped). I'm no tech, as you can tell...
#6. Casters. Any tips or info on where to purchase?
I truly appreciate any bone y'all can throw my way.
Thanks!
Jon

The BEST place to get casters is from Grainger at Grainger.com or one of hundreds of stores in major metropolitan areas. The caster you are looking for is part number 5X758 at $5.27 each. the mounting plate has a slightly different bolt hole arrangement but it will work with very little effort. If you need more help, let me know your location and I can get more information to you.

All you need to do is tell Grainger who you work for. Most businesses have done some business with Grainger. If not, just drop the name of any building contractor and tell them it's a cash sale. They don't do any backround checks. The counter guys could care less.
