Hi All-

I have a Kustom 150 Bass Amp Combo. I'm guessing it's early 70's. It's missing 2 tone knobs. I have been searching online for several months to locate these tone knobs. Does anyone know where I can find and buy these?

Thanks!

Don't believe they've made them for years. you might check with the new Kustom manufacturer in Cincinnati Ohio. They might carry a retro look alike. I get mine from ebay, old amps I buy for parts and even find them on old amps, radios and such that I see at rummage sales and thrift stores. Matter of fact I picked up a working "Realistic" amp at a local thrift store a couple of days ago just for four of those knobs. They're not cheap on ebay, anywhere from $3 to $6 each, but you can find them. Steve C

Are you looking for the full size black knob with the white dot indicator mark that was standard to Kustoms for years?

We've discussed this many times here and there are exact repros available from Small Bear Electronics in NY city for something like $1.50 each. Search the forum for details.

Hi

That is exactly what I need. I have a few emails into Small Bear but I have not heard back from them.

Still waiting.
