Ive went through most of the older posts seeing if any previous posts could help me out and Im still lost. Ive recently come upon a black on black Kustom 200B head along with the dual ported altec 2x15 cabinet. Lately Ive been playing an Epiphone EBM bass with active pickups, and It wasnt until I hauled this beast to practice that I noticed the problem. When cranked up to higher volumes the sound becomes very distorted and lacks any power at all. The symtoms of another post on this bbs. I also read about active bass' problems with earlier Kustoms, but Ive tweaked my knobs on my bass everyway possible. Could it be the bass itself? When at a lower volume the sound is creamy and warm, but once I crank it, it sounds like suck. Umm, do I need to replace the speakers, or the bass? I want to say bass cause, I think that my Kustom is the most metal looking amp ever made, I love the plexi faces! But any way does any body have any suggestions? or Maybe I should ask someone to let me plug their bass to my amp?
