there are a pair of 3x15 sirens in the pics..and a pair of 4x10 columns...I actually still use the siren cabs as mains, and the 2x15 bass cabs are reloaded with eminence subs..and that is my small club PA..country club that is.. I'm too old to want to play bars...but can get plenty of sound level for what we do from those 4 kustom cabs...
if youre a geetar player you really should try an SC 100 2x10 model...and with some change outs in the electronics..they can be made as tastey as the old franks..I prefer CTS speakers..warmer and bolder...just gotta find em and recone em...
I actually enjoy the B3 a lot..just recognize that I am not a player every time I hear it in the hands of these gospel guys...I like to play a little organ...but better to keep me on a synth like the roland VK7... I do better with a transpose button cause Idon't have to think when I'm playing in 'C'..I play keys like a guitar player...chords with the left hand...mess with the right..
I had neve owned a big marshall stack before I started this company..I did have a little 2x12 marshall jcm900 combo...but that was it..now I've got a dozen cabs and several heads..and on the prowl for more...just snagged one of the new Vox AC30 CC2..I kinda like it..but jury is still out..for the young guns that see their heros playing a vox and think they have to have that...its fine for the tones they want to get..in fact with the blend feature you can quickly dial up some dirt...but for old school class A players...not sure yet..some better tubes and some resistor change ups..and maybe...have a cool Roland JC120 that is in the piggy back model..seperate head on a 4x12 stereo cab..and one of my fender twins is a 72 model that's had some nice work done on it...and has the original D120Fs in it...very clean cosmetically and a real growl monster...its the kind of twin I always wanted growing up, but never looked to afford..probably could have if I wasn't always buying kustoms..but those are still myfirst love.. I've cut my guitars down by over half..only about a dozen now..and would probably loose some of those..but what's left are gifts or some of the early endorsement stuff..etc..just not models you go out and sell...but bottom line..the black kustoms are missing a couple models from that 68-69 era... a 1x15 K100 cab, the 4x12 columns..etc..but these were the models I remembered as a kid..going down to the local store and drooling for hours til they threw me out...so for me... it feels like I've completed the life time collection that I dreamed of..even if its not a completel model line...the occasional cool sparkle rig that might come my way..that's a bonus.. I totally love em....but usually someone has more money than me and I loose out..its not the case that I settled for the black...the black is my favorite..and a complete set in black..is a way cool thing
