I guess my preconcieved notions of a 'combo' amp were limited to these cute little things that could churn out a couple of watts and that was it. The guy had sent me the picture of the Charger but from a high angle and with nothing to reference it against. It is HUGE! The guy let me play on it before I bought it and it literally shook the walls. It was huge!
The place was a Kustom museum, almost. He has a B1 head that he'll sell me, bu the cream of the crop was a B4... He says the guy who owns it won't sell it, but I'll ask him...

The Charger cabinet is 38% bigger than a Sidewinder cabinet.
Also, the Kustom brochure is a little wrong on the dimensions - the Charger is actually 10% bigger than the brochure says.
I would put on a 4 inch aluminum dust cap if it does not have one. Maybe because of the size and the chrome ports and dust cap, my Charger always had a tough, gangster look to me, maybe like a 50's V8-powered Buick. And I always said "My best guitar amp is a bass amp".
But then I used it for one gig, the gig had stairs - I sold it the next week.....

Dimensions per Kustom brochure:
Charger ...... 28 W ... 24 H... 13 D... 8,736 cu.in.
Sidewinder... 24 W ... 24 H ... 11 D... 6,336 cu.in.
