I know the great Jamerson generally used the Ampeg Fliptop in the studio but preferred a Kustom rig for live playing. Off hand I don’t know which Kustom he had and would like to hear a little bit about how that particular amp sounds, as well as some technical stuff concerning watts, etc.

Looks like it was a B200 w/ a 2x15 cabinet.
"Live, he’d use his Ampeg B-15 or blue Kustom 200 with two 15s, and he would turn the amp almost all the way up, so he could control the volume and dynamics from his P-Bass and with his fingers. His strings were dead flatwounds, and his action was so high, you had to get your friend to help you play Bb!"
What can you tell me about the Kustom 200? Power, sound, tube, solid state, etc. Was the preamp similar to any other Kustom models?

Steve do you still like it as a bass amp? 100 watts doesn't seem like much these days but its been my experience that watt ratings tended to be more conservative back in the old days.
