RevDavidLee Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just when I was getting ready to paypal them and "poof" it sold Ok obviously I'm kidding because even if I had that kind of money I wouldn't drop it on an amplifier - and I mean on any amplifier & for $50,000 you'd think the seller would have thrown in free shipping Here's the link to "the one that got away" https://reverb.com/item/866756-1983-dumble-ods-overdrive-special?_aid=fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErickC Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I've got a JCM900 Mk. III half-stack, it cost about $1600 total, I think I came out ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joevacc Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 $50k and no speaker cabinet? Pfft ~ A good speaker cab is going to run you another $400.00!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Joe Bonamassa bought it, most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He probably already has 4. He has some of the best guitars out there, but at lest he plays them. I know he has a few - but he's a gear hound...he can't stop buying. Can't say as I blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I saw he was selling off some gear in LA recently and I wish I had looked into checking it out. In the pics he posted you could see a Zonk Machine, a 3 knob Electric Mistress, all kinds of cool stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Dumbles are irritatingly over rated. In the late 90's you could play them all day at any decent guitar show. meh. Grainy gained marshall is all. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I still have a Fender Twin Reverb II (P Rivera design) which does the cascading gain thing just as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I built a few Dumble clones and I got sick of them after awhile. The ones with 6V6's were pretty sweet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grainy gained marshall is all. rct Having never played through one I can easily agree with you because that price - on ANY amp - is ridiculous. Having said that... I wish I had one to sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'd be interested to play through one just so as to have first-hand knowledge of the thing. I know the circumstances in the following tale are very different from a real player but, running the risk of coming across as utterly conceited... Yesterday evening I was invited over to play with some friends. I took along my R0 and the newly acquired D'Angelico. With surprising regularity folks (some of whom are actually musicians...lol!) were commenting on how sweet was the tone produced by the combination of guitars and amp. The amp I had dragged along was this one; The name-plate is, of course, just a joke made from paper and gold ink. The amp cost me under $30 brand new. In my current situation, it seems, I have no urgent need of a Dumble. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHTom Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I heard that if you plug a 59 Burst through a Klon into a Dumble, the earth would stop rotating............just a rumor... \:D/ NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
