Don't know whether the seller is optimistic or genuinely barking. Could be a very nice rig.......

shizznit Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 He has to give more spec info about the rig if he wants to sell it at that price. Kinda like buying a mail order Russian bride (not that I know anything about that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Pretty neat work with a sharpie there. Should give lessons to MDP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) That blurb doesnt actually make sense. Did he buy the one he was shown or not, after he'd been 'bought' to the warehouse ? Why would he "like to talk to him" ? Is he dead, missing ? moved to Antarctica? taken a vow of silence ? found on Wiki [quote]Amps made by Mr. Dumble reportedly sell new for more than $20,000. Given the small output from Dumble, used Dumble amps often sell for more than $30,000 [/quote] NB: Wiki page [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumble_Amplifiers"] Howard Dumble[/url] Have to admit never heard of the guy till today. Interesting wiki page, especially the bit about him hiding his circuitry in opaque epoxy. Sneeky! Edited September 12, 2012 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 :S is there that much difference between the circuit that his man could make and one other companies would make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Well Mr. F. At the end of that vid, there is a further selection, one entitled Alexander Dumble plays guitar. The other chap decides to demonstrate the "stutter"effect. I wish to insert his guitar up his anal tract after about 6 seconds .

shizznit Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The guy looks like a trailer park serial killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If that's Alexader Dumble in the video then it can't be the same Dumble who built the $50,000 amp can it? He looks about 35 (prime age for a trailer park serial killer...) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 MB1. Same Dumble! The circuitry was sealed in epoxy resin so it couldn't be copied By any other manufacturer. There were however people who tried to copy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

's funny, I've got a mate called Howard but who hates his name. I bet he'd be amazed to hear that someone had chosen to take on that name!
