Just got my J595 back from the shop, sounds fantastic! SteveM helped so much with what should be done to it. A quick question, someone had told me the timeline of those early heads, based on the logo under the "Kustom" logo. The first ones said "Ross and some other name Inc." Ross had a partner at that time. Then the split, and they simply covered the silkscreen of the other name, so it was "Ross (and a large space" Inc.". And finally simply "Ross Inc." Mine is the middle version.
Could someone reiterate that history for me? Thanks so much!!

I've also seen By Ross MFG as well. The By Ross and long space is where "Meyers name was" not sure if I spelled it correctly. followed by the Inc. Those amps don't have any marking for the input jacks.

Also the amps By Ross MFG have Guitar for the left channel and Bass for the right channel inputs. There is not the long gap between Ross and INC.
The Frankie guitar and bass heads that say By Ross Inc. short space, the channel inputs are labled Low and High for each channels.

Based upon what I've seen in photos, I think that the Ross mfg. heads are the oldest of the bunch. Next came the Ross and Myers, followed by the Ross w/space and finally the Ross no space.
I may be wrong, but that seems to be the order of things.
