Just wanted to drop a line as a new member. I love all the vintage kustom gear on e-bay and this site will help me
understand what I am looking at. Hope to buy a bass rig this spring maybe a k-100 with a altec 15 cab.

Hey there! and welcome.I hope you find the 1-15 altec k100 you are looking for as the altec loaded ones are quite rare, I`ve only seen a few.
It may come down to you getting a CTS loaded cabinet and picking up a seperate altec 418b or 421a driver to replace the CTS.
hey Mark...welcome! to the greatest bunch of krazies on the web.
the lil K100 w/Altec is a sweet rig...and actually one of the few pieces in my complete model line collection that I don't own.
also don't overlook the very cool SC100/SC150 ..its a combo that you can run the Altec in as well...I think in the 60s/70s when we were kids...we often preferred the piggyback models cause they seemed somehow to be bigger amps and we wanted the biggest rig we could afford..but in later years I learned to completely love the combo series...and the SC 1x15 bass rig seems to have the correct airspace etc that allows it to provide nice deep tones... I have put it up against other brand bass combos..even with considerably more rated power, and was surprised at how the kustom was able to get me a better low end...plus its the only combo in the series that gives you those nice shiney chrome ports..gotta love it!
anyway..get your first bass amp..and we'll all help talk you into getting your second...and third....and...
