$80,000? Please tell me that is an exaggeration?! I already was feeling bad that I wasn't playing that model...
actually David Lindleys Steel String Singer is for sale unless its been purchased the asking price was $250,000
Nichole Kidman's husband was playing it last I read. Not sure if he took it home or not.
Its in Nashville for sale or was and Clapton purchased his from Gruhn guitars.
Clapton paid 80 for his that one was 100 watts I think ODS combo.
John Mayer has at least 25 Dumble amps one of which was the amp that belonged to Jackson Browne
which was loaned too Stevie Ray That amp he bought then agreed to sell and allowed someone to broker the amp
and he was nicked for 165,000 or so not to include some watch collection also gone.
The 0183 amp was purchased by a Landscaper named Tag a few years back for 55,000 dollars.
It was sold after that and guitars were traded as well that amp was cloned and one of each was purchased both 6l6 an el34
so he did well on his trade getting most of his cash back and several choice things in trade.
He probably broke even.
He wound up with one of each 183 amps one 6l6 and one el34.
So not a bad thing afterall.
Tweedle D amps are 16 up if you can even get one made
and you cant.
Ultra Phonic amps are 16 -25 at least. you would have to find one used.
Eric Johson found his prototype ODS amp at a guitar show outside
the guy rolled up with it and Eric kneeled putting his hand on it the person behind him
said name your price not for sale Eric Said.
Same thing with the showmans guitar show both were bought for around 18 each and
someone right there offered 25 each for them on the spot..
He too said not for sale.
I had offers near 16 They wanted to buy the bludo and the Dumble for 18
I told them make it 25 and we can all have a merry Christmas.
They could have had both for 25 but refused to pay that for both.
Someone was offering 16 or better if I shipped it too Europe and I declined
cash in person done deal.
not going to ship the Dumble anywhere.
That amp will sell at the Dallas Guitar show or it can sit right here..
The prices go up not down on Dumble amps.
Soon as I heard the showmans were declined at 25 mine went up.
I was offered a Dumble Marshall he modified but I dont trust the source
from where it came from and I think that guy was taken too the cleaners..
id have to see the amps and play them in person and he was not too keen
on doing that which is why I feel those amps are bogus.
one was 18 watts the other 38 or something like that.
I heard the amps someone else I know did he said they were not
real so I tend to believe him.
The Marshals were touted as phonic mods
I saw a mega plx posted it was not for sale and two supposedly exist one being in Capital records studio full time
and the 2nd owned by this person that Dumble is buddies with.
The person that owned the ODSR Carlos bought heard the mega plx in person at Dumbles place
and said it was the best plexi marshall tone he had ever heard even at volumes the nieghbors would not
call you in on but Dumble said it was late and he could not play it loud for those reasons.
The amp was a marshall modified essentially with Jazz rock switches.
That guy is good friends with Dumble so 2 of those amps exist I know of.
The plexi Dumbles this other person supposedly owns sounded nothing like the mega plx.
they did not sound like the phonic amp either which would not make sense them being phonic amps
considering he made those in fender platforms.
I had chance to buy a supposed plexi modified Dumble in Austin and passed on it
I felt it was fake too..
The reason I feel mine is not is the sound and some of the same parts are seen in the other
fender Dumble mod that was sold along with the amp Cliff bought.
Those amps were probably made first the Fender mode and then the guy got the ODS with D lator
I have gut shots of the Fender amp as I was bidding on it I actually got an email from them
thanking me for bidding and pushing the sale up very nice people..
I think Cliff got the ODS and D lator from the same people.
Epstein estate amps .
I purchased mine right shortly after that...
I had bought another D cab on ebay and it was a fraud
and I got my cash back on it since it belonged to someone else and was not actually even for sale
someone sent me a pic telling me the cab I bought was fake and id best pursue my cash back.
I did and right after that the ULTRA PHONIC amp was up for sale
I negotiated that amp and then had offers of 16-18 right after I bought it
only they wanted both the bludo and that amp for 18..
They demand high prices and depending on what it is and what year its made
it reflects the price one can ask..
Perhaps Ej will be at the show this year and he can hear it in person
id drive the amp too him to let him AB the amp side by side with his
prototype Dumble I think the pair would be a match.
Be neat to hear them both together AB side by side but
I wont hold my breath You never know he liked all the other amps I found for him
including one of the Plexis I traded him he used that to finish recording Venus isle so he said.
Dumbles are tough to come bye and expensive.
