Merry Christmas for the 34th year! [message #3357] Sun, 21 December 2003 21:20 ET Messages: 146 Registered: October 2000 Location: Charlotte NC Senior Member it was 1969..and this boy had a shiny black kustom K25C sitting under the tree with a big red bow tied on the top handle.. I have never been so excited in my entire life just knowing that christmas was days away and that amp was already sitting in the house! anyway...my first little rig is still gleaming and sits proudly as the center piece to the rest of the kollection of this sick boy...so once I again I find myself just as proud, saying Merry Christmas to all...and to all... Play Loud! ET Report message to a moderator

[message #3362 is a reply to message #3357] Tue, 23 December 2003 07:51   stevem Messages: 4733 Registered: June 2004 Location: NY Senior Member I recall the first time I saw a kustom,a friend of mine`s brother, was in a band playing bass and he had a 200 with 2 CTS 15s. I am not clear what year I am talking about here, but I remember that it said on it made by ross and had the steel mesh on the back I think it was a 67.Boy was I knocked out by the the sight and sound of that amp. The next christmas I got my k100 piggie back with 2 -12s. To his day when I think back on those times I can still smell that new sent of the tuck and roll covering. I would rush home from school poop open my bedroom door take a deep breath of that great sent and then plug in and play to records till dinner.AH! the times gone by. Report message to a moderator

Merry Christmas and the best New Year wishes to all. Report message to a moderator

[message #3365 is a reply to message #3357] Wed, 24 December 2003 00:13 QModer Messages: 413 Registered: June 2003 Senior Member Well maybe you apprecaited your Kustom even more at the time that you worked for it. I can't imagine just how wonderful it would be to have a new Kustom at christmas. Those were the cadillac of their times. Certainly one of the most beautiful amps of that period and not really surpassed much to this day. I got a new harmony guitar for christmas once . I sold it later but looking back I probably should have kept it for sentimental reasons. I may have hurt my moms feelings by doing that. But I was just a young dumb kid LOL.. I thought I needed the money to help differ the price on my next guitar some. Now I'm just as dumb and just older LOL.. Somethings never change. Report message to a moderator

[message #3368 is a reply to message #3366] Thu, 25 December 2003 17:05 BC Messages: 583 Registered: March 2000 Location: Kentucky Senior Member This is my 5th Christmas as a Kustom owner......at least this time around. I can not see my self playing without one. 2003 has been a good year as I have turned a confirmed tube freak guitar player in my band into a Challenger combo user. He still uses the tube amp when apropriate....but the tuck and roll gets most of the notes now! The best thing about the Kustoms is the friends I have made.....and the brothers I have found! The sharing of experience and knowledge is fantastic on this site. The Best of the Christmas Season to all!Now, Santa.....What happened to my cascade 400 with twin JBL 3x15 cabinets????BC Report message to a moderator

I have two 2x15 cascade cabs since 1970 and have never found the head to match. They miss their mommie LOL.. Report message to a moderator
