I have the opportunity to buy a VINTAGE 70's KUSTOM II 2-CHANNEL GUITAR BASS AMP HEAD 11-B as seen here:

www.ebay.com/itm/151998491073?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&a mp;ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have an Acoustic b410 amp and I was wondering if this head will work. I can't find anything about this head's output or ohms and I assume you guys would know.

Welcome to the place.

The IIB amp that you are looking at is rated at 50 watts RMS and will probably work with as low as a 4 ohm load. As far as bass amps go it has a good tone, but is a little low in power by modern standards.

How do you plan on using it?

thank you, I plan to use it for small gigs and house shows. Do you think that this will give me enough power or do I need to get something more powerful? The cab is rated 400W @ 8 ohms

What is your reason for buying the Kustom?

The B410 is a 400 watt RMS amp and packs far more punch and reserve power than the Kustom !

If you are planing on using the Kustom for Bass guitar and you only play a 4 string Bass then it should serve you ok for small gigs and without question for home use if played thru the right speaker impedance load.

Hi,
I do have this type of Kustom. There's a great difference of sound between the two channels !
