Re: amps for sale [message #3530 is a reply to message #3522] Sat, 17 January 2004 23:35 ET Messages: 146 Registered: October 2000 Location: Charlotte NC Senior Member The 200 series weight differs depending on the speaker load..but I'll tell you that I've been loading a pair of the 2x15 cabs since I was 16, am now 47 and just used them again this past weekend...casters, side handles in the right position..Ross put a whole lot more thought and care into his rigs than any manufacturer these days...heck, he's got more screws in his cab than any 3 rigs by the other guys...just a huge difference in the quality and amount of materials that went into those old kustoms...I'm a believer...you'll love your 200 2x15 rig...even better when you snag the second cab for it...oh, and highly recommend CTS for warmth, but the best load is the old Altecs...just ask BC...he's the bass master!

Re: amps for sale [message #3533 is a reply to message #3530] Sun, 18 January 2004 10:27   LesS Messages: 477 Registered: December 2002 Senior Member ET I agree with you 100% on the quality of the materials used in the Ross Kustoms. I always appreciated the cabinets being all plywood – stronger and lighter than the particle board that companies like Peavey and Yamaha used. Then after Bud Ross sold Kustom to the Baldwin Piano Company, they began using particle board – not for the entire cabinet – but for such pieces as the speaker baffle, the back, and the spacer board that the amplifier sits on in the combos. That, plus the cabinets being a little bigger, is why the SS series is usually heavier than the equivalent Ross Kustom. Bassndrumboy , For the weight for a Kustom 200 – A K200-B2 head weighs 31 lbs. I used to have a Kustom 2-15 cabinet and it weighed 85 lbs with Jensens with large magnets. So it could weight 75 lbs with lighter duty speakers or maybe 90 lbs with Altecs. -Les Strickland Report message to a moderator

Here's the amp I'm dying for http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3700333853&category=4713 Anyone here know the seller? I'd love to own this amp but caution is wise.

Re: amps for sale [message #3585 is a reply to message #3509] Wed, 28 January 2004 23:24 JB Messages: 32 Registered: January 2003 Location: Maryland Member He did answer my email and said everything works on the Red one. It's about 400 miles from me. If I go for it and ask him if I can pick it up COD. His feedback is frightening, John Report message to a moderator

Re: amps for sale [message #3586 is a reply to message #3585] Wed, 28 January 2004 23:55 ET Messages: 146 Registered: October 2000 Location: Charlotte NC Senior Member Man is that scary feedback..only way I'd do that auction is to hand him the money in person as I was loading the amp into my van...I remember this guy from a couple years back when he was buying like crazy...he's not making any real profit cause he always paid premium bucks...if he came up on an auction I knew I was not going to win it cause he'd always out bid me. I remember emailing him to be friendly and he did respond several times, nicely..not freindly, but nice..he sent me a couple pics of his rigs..mostly he has marshalls (hence the name)..had a room with them around every wall and a pool table stuck in the middle that could never be played for all the full stacks he had around it..the guy has some serious gear and primo condition stuff, but yeah, he'll want/need full price..sounds like hard times may have hit and he's ready to unload..feel for him in that situation...but with multiple negatives.. I'd really watch out..ya gotta piss somebody off pretty bad to get negative feedback cause you just don't want to risk it coming back on you. .but for these other guys to be complaining this bad...watch yourself dude..face to face if you can...and that's a real shame..and 400 miles is a hike!..let us know how it comes out...we might have to call the kustom gang together and go pay this guy a visit Report message to a moderator

Re: amps for sale [message #3590 is a reply to message #3509] Thu, 29 January 2004 15:23 JB Messages: 32 Registered: January 2003 Location: Maryland Member ET, thanks a lot for the scoop. I'm waiting for his reply now about possibly picking up the amp if I win. From the pics the amp looks mint! Might be cool to see some of the other stuff he has up close IF he's willing. He has more good feedback than bad but your right I've been rooked a couple of times and was worried about the getting in a feedback war. It's usually not worth the trouble in the long run. I plan to take due care while dealing with this guy. If the amp is as it appears in the photos and I can get it $600 what do you think, is it worth it? Thanks again, John Report message to a moderator

Re: amps for sale [message #3596 is a reply to message #3590] Thu, 29 January 2004 21:04 ET Messages: 146 Registered: October 2000 Location: Charlotte NC Senior Member never ask me about price cause I'm always on the emotional side of the line...translation..heck yeah!..its worth it! but yes, a minty clean sparkle rig...used to be you could find some real bargains..sometimes you still can, but thanks to ebay and to some of these rigs having been bought and sold several times within a fairly active group..the prices are just about saturated and the sellers really aren't making a heck of a lot..some are just trying to get out from under, as I suspect our marshalman is doing...sounds like he's planning to move or something..he sounds a tad stress on the 5 day requirement, and yet he's not listed a fraction of what he owns, although I'm guessing the marshalls are probably selling locally just fine..he really has some nice ones....youre being cautious and that's good...if you love the amp...get it...$50 here or there in the scheme of things....
