Paul_C Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 my suspicion is that ebay is being used to announce that the amp is for sale, then a deal can be struck in private (for less than that crazy price, obviously) without paying ebay fees this also goes for things like that "rare 4 string guitar" someone posted a link to the other day - they're not that dumb, they just use it as a way of getting more people to see the auction, and possibly bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nah probably is worth that, in terms of "it's worth what some twit will pay" [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumble_Amplifiers"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumble_Amplifiers[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to send him a tape of your playing,and if you are good enough he may build you one. Just plain crazy,since when does being reclusive and arrogant, make your nothing more than average amp so expensive and hard to obtain? Does anyone know what artists use dumble amps? I would be curious to see if anyone still does knowing the "big secret" to these, "amazing amps"! /cheers Steven Edited May 28, 2009 by LerxstLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've never played through one, but how much better can it be than my vintage Fender, my Vintage Mesa, or my vintage Marshall? - all of which were less than £400. You can download the Dumble schematics from t'interweb and copy it using the best components you can find and you'll still have change out of £750.

Unless eBay works differently in the States, the Seller pays extra fees for using a Buy It Now option, the amount being tied to the figure being asked. A BIN of $57,000 will have generated a pretty huge fee all on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 "...electrons can survive in a vacuum tube, but can be eliminated or squashed in a lattice" no wonder his amps are expensive if they can bend the laws of physics. maybe they do warp drive too.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I bet with my cloth-eared, cack-handed rhythm guitarist hat on, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the sound that comes out of this amp and some of my best patches on guitar rig.

Protium Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 He's talking about the amp having this ultimate pure tone and "unsquashed" electrons but using a massive digital rack in front of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
