If you looked carefully and bought used, there were some around. In 1971, I had a Kustom 200 bass rig (I played bass as well as guitar) I had bought as an insurance theft recovery for $175. A friend of a friend was playing bass through a brownface Bassman (with some other cab). I offered to trade him the Kustom head for the Bassman head, and he accepted. I then had the brownface Bassman head, the Kustom 2x15 cab with JBL D140s, and a 4x12 cab I had built with Utah speakers, all for less than $400 total. Later that year, I bought a used 1962 Epiphone Wilshire for $150 at a music store.There were no decent low cost options in the '70s.
