Some advice please. I want a Kustom bass amp to add to my studio. A nostalgia thing. I am considering a K150, gold tuck & roll matching amp/cabinet.. It is tagged that it has Altec speakers and the silver cone is visible. The owner say it works and sounds good.It won't be gigged so I'm cool with the watts.

I understand it should be upgraded with a grounded plug. Anything else I need to know? Will it need electronic upgrades, caps, etc; will the speakers need to be reconed due to age if orginal.

I admit I know nothing about Kustoms. I used 1 briefly in 1971 (yep, I'm an oldie). They are asking $400. It's a few hour drive from me so hand on are out until I know if it worth it.

Not sure how to post pics, will work on that.

Thanks, grateful this site is here.
