I've seen RF thru his Dumble 2X.
I saw RF and LC together and LC used his Dumble.
In both cases I heard staggering tone.
i got TONS of RF vids where he uses his Dumble.
The 40g's is for rarity, availability...but some of them have the tone of the Gods.
Actually it's Steel String Singer. Also on the first SRV he used Jackson Browne's Dumbleland which was a SSS build from AMpeg SVT transformers and chassis.CaseyCor":ba921 said:SRV used a Six-String-Singer (?), but he was using a Fender Super Reverb and a Marshall JMP (?) at the same time, switching between amps for different sounds. I think EJ used one for awhile too at some point, and we all know about his tone.

Either way, I didn't hear anything that mind blowing. I'd get one just cause it'll be worth a million dollars by the time I'm 50.
Weathered;20562895]The jump from $25K to $50K is pretty great, especially for an amp you haven't heard. That's the problem with Dumbles as I see it - each one is so unique that you can't just buy it and expect it to sound like that out of the box.
As a collector's piece, it is cool, but as an investment, it's not a good investment. They aren't going to appreciate like a pre-CBS Fender amp will. I have a feeling that amps are going to catch up to guitars in vintage value in the coming years. You can still get a '67 Plexi for $7K if you look around, where getting a '67 Strat for that would be a steal.

Well, I was exaggerating with the million dollars but then again, don't '59 Les Pauls go for $250K? They are almost 50 years old. A dumble is half that. I'd say it's on pace to get around there.
