I am fixing to start playing a kustom III B 1-15 cabinet and amp as seen here: http://www.broadwaymusicco.com/kustom4.htm

I have a few questions to anyone who may know something about this amp and head:

--how old is this amp?
--the amp has 4 cable inputs, why are there so many?
--what is voicing on a bass amp mean?
--any and all information about this amp would be appreciated

God bless and Merry Christmas!

The amp was made late 1976 to 1980.
There are two inputs per channel - they are different levels - one jack is louder than the other. If your guitar has a preamp you might plug into the quieter of the two jacks.
"Voicing" is just another word for equalization - tone control.

The voice control is a overall tone control the effect the bass thru treble freqency range on that amp.

Thanks for the info. All the amps I have ever played on have the equalization setting. When I saw the voicing on this amp it kind of threw me a curve. The amp suprisingly sounds good and is really loud, even when just turned up half way.

Even with only one 15" a 130 watt rms amp is loud!
