Any of youse guys use a vintage tuck&roll Kustom amp? I have always admired the looks of these amps.

Kustom 100 combo, black tuck and roll with two 10" speakers. The first "real" amp I've owned. Got it new almost 45 yrs ago. I still own and use it. They still honor my lifetime warranty. Clean solid state (but not antiseptic)with that cool purple power indicator light and a thumbs up from John Fogerty. What's not to like? I should qualify this by stating I also am partial to the thick poly finish on the maple 3 bolt neck of my strat. So, I may be a little out of touch.

I don't have a vintage Kustom, but I do gig with the all-tube 72 Coupe. It's not totally tuck & roll, but pays homage to the old style with its design.

I don't have it anymore but when I was the bass player in a band, I used a Kuston K200 with two 15" speakers and loved it. It was just like this one except mine was a blue sparkle.

I currently have a Kustom KB100 combo bass amp (no tuck and roll) with one 15" speaker. I am a big fan of Kustom amps especially their bass amps.

I forgot to mention that I DO actually have a Kustom K250 Tuck & Roll head, but it's a bass head and I don't have the matching cab. Works great with my Fender Bassman 115 cab though.

I saw John Fogerty a couple of years ago...he is still playin his...what a great player he is tooo

What about the Osmonds?

A nice family from Utah. Partial to sweaters and Christmas specials. Now, I find out they were powering that all through a Kustom. It just keeps getting better.

The transistor models like the 200 were better than the opamp models like the 250. Both were a lot better than modern Solid-State. A lot of the Kustom cabinets came with the good JBL's. BZ

CCR turned me on to Kustom amps when I was a kid. I owned a 200 guitar amp with 3x 12 and it roared. very clean and very loud.

traded that for a fender super reverb which I should have never sold but I did.

mostly used fenders ever since

I got one for $50 it sounds great through my 4x12 came with a cool peace sticker too! ()

In the late-sixties, I was in a band that had an endorsement deal with Kustom. We had red, white, and blue amps. Mine was the blue one. It had the cool tremolo and the harmonic clipper, and three Jensen 15"s. I would have rather had the 2-D130 cabinet, but it was free.

Yep. The 200 sounded better than it had a right to.

I'm a bigger fan of Bud Ross' pedals, particularly his phaser variants.

Yep. But others came with crummy square magnet CTS speakers.

I had one of the large tuck and roll heads and cabinets when I was a kid. I had just started playing the guitar and a group of guys came by our home to repaint and texture the cieling after our central air drain pan leaked upstairs. One of the guys on the crew was a janitor at a local school. He always looked like he was hung-over or stoned. Maybe it was just the fumes from the paint that had gotten to him. He was strapped for cash.

He noticed my guitar in my bedroom. At the time I was playing my guitar through a Panasonic stereo system by plugging into the auxillary input with a little cable I purchased at radio shack. It actually sounded pretty good to tell you the truth. Billy, the janitor that was on the paint crew, walked by and said, "You are pretty good with that thing. You need a real amp to go with it. I've got an old amp that I will sell you." Turns out it was s big ole' honkin' Kustom Amp cab and head. I paid him $100 for the amp in 1987. When I joined a band with my friends, the Kustom was too large. I traded the Kustom for a more portable solid state Fender Harvard Reverb II at a local music store. The little Harvard Reverb was easy to carry around and fit into my car easily. I thought I had made a great deal. The Harvard Reverb was about 200 bucks more than what I had paid for the Kustom. Now I wish I had the Kustom around again. What did I know? I was a kid in love with my strat, a Pro Co Rat, and my 60 watt dynamite in small packages amp.

Honestly, there was a night when we played a gig at a party where the cops showed up and the entire band bailed over the wall in the backyard of a very large house. Cops showed up and started carrying people away from the party. I unplugged the amp, grabbed my guitar, amp, and two pedals and went over the fence running as best as I could for two blocks. I dumped everything in the front seat of the car and drove off leaving my guitar case and mixer set up in the backyard of the house. As it turned out, the party was being held at the home of the Dean of a local college. The dean was out of town. One of the guys at school decided to throw a party and decided the backyard of the home would be a perfect place to get wild and crazy. We had no idea that we were trespassing. We showed up and set up to play. Played 3 songs before the police arrived. High school kids were running everywhere. We lost a full drum set and our PA system that night. Had I still been playing through that Kustom amp, I would have lost that too. It was just too big.- Dang, I miss that big ole' amp (and that old stereo system too.)
