I can get pics up later, but I recently bought a Kustom 200 Head with a large matching 2x15" speaker cab, loaded with two jensens... I got it on the cheap because the whole bright channel on the head does not work, so no trem/reverb but as a bassist I only need the regular channel so it's not an issue. (and it's not a jack problem, we opened it up and think it's something to do with the preamp.)

It's a beautiful turquoise/blue-greeen sparkle T&R... I can get pics up of it soon. Any info about this one? I'm only starting to get into Kustom, and I definitely like what I hear from this one. Year, quality, anything you can give me about this thing is hugely appreciated.

Welcome to the board!

The blue-green naugahyde color is officially named Cascade.

If you check out the catalog section, you can try and find out exactly which model 200 you have. Frank, A or B.

If you search for earlier posts from Les Strickland, for serial number charts, you can get a good idea of when your amp was produced, based on the serial number.

I shrunk down the pictures a lot... I have better quality ones if anyone wants to see anything in more detail. Going to look op those posts/numbers now.

It's a beauty! I bought one like it new in 71...but my head had no effects. You may find the Jensens to be a little light for bass but they are GREAT for guitar. If you want more bass range and volume before distortion use a heavier speaker. If you play low volume it will work just fine.Congrats on a great find! BC

I don't mind the jensens... I have an altec lansing 15 next to them that can kick out the lows so it's a nice contrast. I like what I'm hearing, for sure.. thanks for all the info so far.

Apologies for bumping this up, but I'm looking to get this thing serviced and I need the schematics for it - I've been searching for quite a while to no avail. I know they're offline from this site here but is there somewhere else i can get them?
