Hello. All I have to say is get a K200 B-6 with selectone and hook it up to one Jensen 2x15 and one CTS 2x15, you just might cry with joy. On top of being FRICKEN LOUD, it sounds great for both guitar and bass, distorted and clean. I think I need to buy my friends CTS 2x15 from him.... My question is, the Jensen 2x15 (mine) sounds good for bass (with this amp only, i've found), but can it take it for an extended period of time? I heard these work well on organs, so I guess they can, but that's a guess. I noticed it doesn't play quite as low as the CTS cab (only noticeable difference is there is less air blowing out of the ports), but they sounded identical otherwise. I'll probably use this more for guitar than bass since I have a bass stack powered by an Ampeg SVT 350, but this setup sounds amazing for both bass and guitar, very handy since I switch between the two frequently. So, can the Jensens take the heat or should they get out of the kitchen? Thanks!!

Hello. I am a bass player, but I've actually been playing guitar longer. I've been playing bass since I was eleven, and guitar since I was seven (am I'm 17 now...man i've been playing for a while now!), and I play a bunch of other instruments too (I play trombone in marching/symphonic band at school, ukulele, banjo and mandolin for fun, and I also experiment with keyboards on rare occasion). But yeah, those are some great columns, I have a pair of CTS loaded Fender 4x10 columns that work well for guitar or vocals. Speaking of which, my band played at a basketball game at school last night and my Kustoms made an appearance. The guitar amps were my full stack (Kustom K200A5 running an Orange and a Crate 4x12), my friend's Line 6 Vetta and a Sonic 4x12 (he's going to sell that amp, he doesn't like it, i'm making him get a Kustom ), and an Ampeg SS140C driving a 4x10 Madison loaded Sonic cab. The bass amp was an Ampeg SVT350 and a Crate 4x10 and 1x15. The PA was a pair of Kustom CTS 2x15's, the Fender 4x10 columns, a pair of 1x15" PA cabs and a pair of 1x12" PA cabs, powered by a 350 watt (175 per side) power amp for mains and a 100 watt for monitors. So yeah, I have a lot of stuff; all of the above is mine minus the Vetta setup and the Kustom 2x15's that are (unfortunately, I wish they were mine) on loan. For guitars I used a Epiphone G-310 with a late 70's les paul neck on it that I rebuilt after my friend smashed it and a (also) previously smashed (also by my friend, I get stuff from him for free or cheap, so I don't mind, keep 'em coming!) early '90's Fender Strat with the SG's original neck; yeah, I know, a strat with an SG neck and an SG with a les paul neck, but they sound great despite their amatuer looks (the strat was a light blue that my friend half sanded down to the olive drab primer, and I put my version of a Fender competition stripe on both guitars). Even though I have two nice Fender Jazz basses (one fretless), I used a Squier P-bass for the low end, it sounds remarkably good with the SVT and, of course, my Kustom K200-B6 at home. My dad took some pics of us, so maybe I can get those on the computer soon if anyone would like to see 14 speaker cabinets and 5 amp heads in one shot. Cool stuff!
