Hey Chris, Have you ever heard of this amp - Kustom 310C bass combo???
This thing pumps 1200 watts, more than enough for me, but I am sitting here thinking, "A Combo??? 1200 watts?? 3 10s with bass ports??? 140lbs?? Sound Quality??? Feasible???"

I just googled it.. I can't say I've heard it, nor have I heard anything about it. It seems like it could be nice, but I really can't say. It's convenient that it's all one piece, but wow 140 Lbs withOUT a case??... that's more than YOU Geetus!

Yeah, But the amp I got now is 94 lbs, so it's not that far off. My real concern was the plywood build of the thing. All the reviews I hear say it has loads of tone and maintains warmth at high volumes. But plywood??? Just trying to get a bit more volume and warmth.....

those 3 speakers are probably wired in parallel; it runs those 1200W only at 2 ohms. usually power rating for seperate heads are given with all the wattages for a given resistance (ohms). doesnt have to sound bad, but it makes the 1200W thing a lot less impressive. it's power sections rating is probably (like the seperate head they sell) 450W @ 8 ohms. furthermore, the power rating says jack shit. it kinda depends on how they measured it. also its great that the power section is rated @ 1200, can the speakers handle it or will they start fucking up halfway? voice coils are especially expensive and this combo is especially cheap. be suspicious

plyamp is not a necessarily bad thing for a cab, it depends on what you are plying see: http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_db810.htm high end bass cab, 13-ply. btw high end basses are often plied as well

aside from that, its a motherfucking heavy combo, you sure you want to carry it around all the time?

Again with the heavy thing hahaha
Isnt this why drummers and bassists hang together when loading in to gigs and in the studio???
Maybe I can locate one in the city and jam on it a bit and see what it is like.
Any suggestions on half cabs??? Anyone???

But most bassists actually BRING their gear to the studio.

I'm mainly using my custom-designed/built 7-string through my VHT Deliverance 60 and/or Engl Savage 120...lately I've been running through them both, in parallel. I have a modified Ibanez TS7 that gets run through the VHT as a clean boost to add a bit of saturation to the amp's own distortion. I'm eventually planning to replace the Deliverance with a Sig:X, though, so I can do a little more on the fly (the Deliverance, while extremely versatile, only has a single channel with nothing footswitchable...no problem on its own, but when running in parallel with the Engl, it would be nice to have a dedicated clean channel, for example).

GEAR!!! G.A.S... as for guitar related nothing has really changed for me lately..but in my studio i have upgraded alot of Mic pres from either API or Dakings to Millenia's and Manley. I like the more sustaining organic feels of them. what are the tech's you used for recording the Low ended tones of Novembers Doom Baritone guitars? and I am not surprised to hear mesa tones on the new stuff...Tubes push air Line 6 stuff is flexable but does not have the Push of a tube amp...

Ah yes, that amp sounded great! We have a few baritones as well, and selected what we thought were the best for each sound. I used a multiple mic setup through an SSL VHD, no EQ, just worked on mic placement and blend.
