Has anyone tried either of these amps? (Kustom KXB100 & Harley Benton HB-300B)

[Jay_182]

I'm looking for an opinion or a comparison on/of these amps. I will likely use it for small gigs and practice in the future before I upgrade (if need be). Any other suggestions in this price range would be welcome too.

My advice is buy second hand. You will get a combo with the same stats as the HB or the Kustom for a lot cheaper and you won't have to eat the decrease in value as much as you'd have to do when buying one of these two.
Since you linked .de addresses, I assume you're from Germany. On eBay Kleinanzeigen, a quick search for 'Bass Combo' yielded several amps that will do what these listed by you do, only probably better - and most of them below €150,-
If you haggle a bit and then treat the amp good, you will be able to sell it for roughly the same when the time comes to upgrade.

Actually, I am Irish. Thanks for the response, I will still check out Ebay regardless.

I have the Kustom. Great deep tones! It will support a 2nd cab. I'm thinking of adding a 4x8 to bring out the high end.

They're everywhere!! LOL

I hope you find a good amp to play through.

Interesting result in your election!
