If 1 is good and 2 is better, than 13 must be just right! I just happened to see this ad and was kinda impressed.

Wow..that's crazy (why is my back hurting all of a sudden?)


Here's  some remnants from my late friends accumulations...4560's etc.

You know your back is in trouble when you're talking about speaker cab tonnage rather than pounds or kilos.

I love those old EV MT systems. Classic 80s concert sound. I still occasionally run across some of that stuff on the club and fest circuit.

There's a guy in the local Craigslist with a freakin' garage FULL of those old tuck-n-roll sparkle-covered Kustom amps... bass, guitar, PA sets. And I think every time I see that 2x15 in blue sparkle... that little voice gets louder- do it man, DO IT! Then I remember - Greg, you dumbass, you can hardly heft the Mesa DragAbout/Scout 15 you got into the car, if you did have a gig to go play.    Still... that blue sparkle Kustom 2x15... Yeah, I could own that look. 

I used to have a Kustom 200 and 3X15 amp as a teenager. One day mom was baking a cake and went out while it was in the oven. I cranked that puppy up loud for a bit. When she came back and opened the oven up the cake had collapsed. Talk about death metal!

I went to Sam Ash around 1968 because I wanted to buy a Marshall guitar amp. The model I was considering was a 50 watt head with a 6x10 cabinet. The person helping me at the store was insistent that I would be better off if I bought one of the big Kustom roll and tuck amps since in his words the Marshall was a "one-trick pony". Thankfully I ignored his advice, the Marshall kicked butt and IMO was a way better sounding guitar amp than any of the Kustoms I heard around that time.

Now if Sam Ash had tried to sell me the Kustom organ...

Cool pic, a summer jam would be nice about now 

Musicians playing with their backs to the crowd! Doesn't get any more old school than that! Imagine Taylor Swift doing that...
That is a cool looking organ.

Love Bobby's highwater bells.  Well on his way to capri pants land!

Bill, tgo

Bill and me must have had the same fashion twitch... all I could think of was- Man Phil, those are some wicked pants...   

(they would definitely go well with my blue-sparkle roll-n-tuck 2x15 Kustom)

You should have seen what I was wearing circa 1971.... or maybe it's better there are no pics.  Remember Elephant Bellbottoms? 

Bill, tgo

This is from the Denver Be-In. A pretty casual affair, to say the least.

Here's another partial shot of the organ.

Yes I do and regretfully there are some pictures floating around with me wearing them.
