(chuckling)...the history on this urband legend is myfault... I truly am most fond of the black kustoms..do have a few sparkly pieces...but my initial collection started with black amps and as I added on...a second 2x15 cab for my 200 bass rig, a 2x12 bottom to sit mylittle K25 1x12 Sc on top of...etc...well..before Iknew it I had all black gear..and then along came ebay and all those wonderful rigs were showing up...along with other collectors..who usually had more money than me and so when a clean (not stained, torn, burnt..etc) sparkle rig came along.. I'd wind up loosing out..and take my pitiful meager dollars and go buy another black rig that noone else was looking at...so, being on the pout, I would slap the sparkle boys around a bitand they would all give it right back to me..its been a fun time...told em one christmas that I accidently spilt some christmas cookie glitter ontop of a black kustom and made a big fuss about the sound difference...also told em Ihad taken a mint condition red sparkle rig and sprayed it black to improve the tone.. I'm not that sick....well..actually I am...but not when it comes to defacing a kustom...
seriously...unplug the reverb pan an a 200 Pa headand you will notice a diff in the power...but other than that...no...to be fair to the new guys..there ain't no difference in the chasis between what went into the zodiacs vs the real kustoms..the black ones...oh, and for the record...Bud likes black the best too....and for the record... Ithink I'm the only guy with a complete collection of the model line - plexi face 1968-1970ish...all in black...thing of beauty...now that's all the straight honesty you're gonna get from me...so be warned mynext post will be back to my stupid self....
