A couple times my stepson and I came down to a GC north of the airport but rarely get down your way.IE and Chrome on WindowsXP are now unsupported. I signed on a few months ago but have been reading posts a couple years. I hope we can meet sometime as we are the same age started guitar the same age and live about 50 miles apart and seem to have similar interests. Second Item WhiteFang - I like your posts and really relate to them. I do not like the modern one input jack design on new amps as it makes it hard to have a friend or beginner stop by to play a little. YOu can actuallly plug in 4 players if you wanted. I think the padded look is still the coolest design. A couple years ago I dusted things off bought a few new toys and got back into practicing but did not join a band yet. I played in a couple bands that did weddings, bars and small clubs five or six years before making the decision that I was not good enough to make a living at it and concentrated on my engineering job. Bought it in late 1973 or early 1974 at wonderland music near Detroit. With 4 (I think) 10 inch speakers it still sounds good.

I still have a Kustom 250 with the build in effects and still play it when I take time to play. Not sure if Plush was connected to Kustom or not.Ĭouple of things. Now, I know a few people with old Plush amps, which look similar but were tube amps. Few had any use for a solid state sound these days. A friend who had a music shop had a wall of them in every color on consignment. every kid who wanted to lug around those beasts could get one for dirt cheap, but they weren't 'in.' WHen the vintage thing picked up in the 90s everybody drug them out of the garage and attic, but nobody would pay big money for them. They were very plentiful around here for nothing in the late 70s and 80s. Like I said, I got mine for free with a $150 4 x 12 cab I bought. People are attracted to the vintage tuck and roll look, but they seem to mentally criss cross it with a heavy distorted rock sound a la Orange or something. During the grunge years they became big for 'video shoot/pose' factor, but few people seemed to actually use them live. But maybe concentrated on the tube models. I think they re-issued them in the 90s at some point. clean as the day is long, loud and bright.

I played some CCR through it every once in a while, used it as a bass head a couple of times, and as a practice PA head a lot. I bought a speaker cab and it came with it. I have a Kustom tuck and roll 200 head that I left at a friend's practice room in the mid-90s (need to get it back).
