Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kustom are good

they make nice solid stuff

Cant go wrong with a good Kustom

they could fall off the back of a truck and be fine

real solid

fair good sound too

i have a kustom groove bass 4x10 cabinet, it works very well, it weighs about 4oo lbs though whee

I've heard and seen good things from Kustom PA systems but I've never seen Kustom amps.

You're actually recommending someone buy a Behringer? You can if you want, but it's like playing Russian roulette, you either end up with a very decent amp/cab, or a complete POS. Their QC is non-existant, and their business practices are so bad it's almost legendary. And how does Hartke rip off Eden? Good call on the Avatar and GK though, my new setup come tax return time is gonna be 2 Avatar Neo 4x10's and either a GK 1001RB II or a Genz-Benz GBE-600. Just remember, normally, with some exceptions (like Avatar), you get what you pay for, Kustom and Behringer may seem great in the beginning, but you're going to outgrow it.

I don't think it's clear at all, the Eden 2x15 is front ported and the speaker position is reversed, or is it just because the both have a 2x15 in general? A lot of have companies have 2x15 cabs, Mesa, Sunn, Ampeg, Ashdown, etc... And I'm also not too clear about how Behringer cabs rip off Ashdown...I know what they both sound like, it most likely will come down to what I can get for cheaper, I've seen them both go for about $350, just gotta see which one I spot first.

Ahahaha, I was hoping you were insecure enough that a little questioning would throw you into a tantrum. Man, you're right, I've never heard of Peavey OR Fender, you're into some obscure s**t right there. And Traynor is mediocre at best, at least their new stuff, and Low Down Sound, that's a boutique builder, that's like comparing SWR to Thunderfunk or Bergantino. And obviously you aren't aware, the Eden is front ported, that's what the vents are... The Ashdown MAG series and the Behringer BX heads are relatively similar, but you said cabs, their cabs don't look the least bit similar to me, maybe you should have pointed that out before going APESHIT WITH YOUR AWESOME CAPS, I GUESS THEY WERE RIGHT, CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL TO AWESOME. In the world of amps and even guitars, you only have so much room to be creative before you're running into someone else's designs, it's just the degree to which you copy that'll get you in trouble. That being said, does that make all other bass manufacturer's a rip off of Fender because he created the first electric bass and they followed suit? I don't think so. If you're going to throw around unfounded conclusions and start playing the "rip-off" game, I'd learn to take criticism and questioning a little better.
