Man if this isn't a BLAST from the past. Wasnt he featured regularly in Guitar Player back in the day? Originally Posted by MaxTwang

My Fender Super Champ XD vintage modified tube amp thinks that it's a Dumble when I put it on the "boutique" voicing...just bragging...

Not so sure about the fool part though. His Monteleone Radio Flyer.

Love the 'crystal lattice' ref. One of my favourites. Love the Lindley clip, takes me back to seeing him in the UK on a 'Four Guitarists' tour. He did Mercury Blues through a pair of Dumble modded Fender Bassman amps and sounded just the same. I like a muso to have a sense of humour like Lindley, and unlike Mr Kaiser. Lindleys 'Lost Guitar's vid on Youtube cracks me up everytime - NB To 'get' this you need to know what a Coodercaster is.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste! Poor Henry, I love the review he does of a Suhr guitar,he might as well be playing toaster. Originally Posted by Jabberwocky

When that video started, I thought "I can't get through this", but listening to just the first part of his childhood had me understanding why he is the way he is. Originally Posted by Jabberwocky

Bill Frissell references that type of ability on this Andersen (2:00 mark):

Frisell's playing is the perfect answer to all the gear threads - yes, he's playing an outstanding guitar in the video - but what he's playing is the real story.Last edited by MaxTwang; 12-12-2015 at 10:32 AM.

Robben Ford with the Yellowjackets - Pass It On. Solo starts at 3:20, I'm assuming it's his Dumble.
BTW In addition to the Zendrive, the Mad Professor Simble is a really good Dumble style pedal. The Zendrive is more clear in the mids, the Simble is thicker in the mids. Both equally good, more a matter of preference. The Zendrive has a nice clarity for low & mid gain, while the Simble's fatter sound does well at low, mid and higher gain (a little better for the David Lindly sound).

Wes never played through no stinkin' Dumble amp . . .

Some bop type lines (starting 1:40) including one or two phrases from his Yellowjacket days:

Having owned 2 real Dumbles 1979 models OD Specials 50 and 100 watt combos. Nice amps for sure but nowhere near the hype they get! Also no proper effects loop and no reverb on them. If you really want one buy a used copy like a Bludotone, Quinn Amps, even Ceriatone and save yourself the headaches of dealing w the price and problems of a real one.

I've got a G50-112 for sale locally that nobody wants. Only reason I'm selling it is because I found a G100 in excellent condition! Originally Posted by LtKojak

I'm so tempted to buy the one in the pic I posted

Dumbles are outstanding amplifiers...truly outstanding. OTOH, I am not at all convinced that what they stand out for has anything to do with jazz. I personally would go to a Dumble for a memorable blues/rock guitar tone. If I am copping a Wes/Barney/Joe/George-type tone, it would _never_ occur to me to switch on a Dumble--if I owned one. I am sure that I could throttle a Dumble back enough to get a good, clean tone with it. However, that wouldn't be exploiting the Dumble at all. In that case, I would choose an Ampeg, or a Fender, or a Gibson amp. (or, a modern, class-D solid-state)

Guitarist Corey Christiansen plays thru a Dumble Overdrive Special clone (a 1:1 clone, really) on his Buscarino signature model and sounds great thru it. So I'm tempted to say it's just another amp that gets the job done and has the jazz-thing down. I've heard so many great jazz-tones on so many different guitars thru so many different brands of amps that I'm more and more convinced it's not what you're using, but how you're using it.......

Then the inverse guys with the best gear made and it still doesn't help them play better, they are who they are.
Last the audience doesn't know or care. All an audience knows is that sounds irritating or that's too loud. Even your gear head buddy is only listening for a minute then the focus is on more beer and the hottie in the corner.
I went to a roadhouse to hear some buddies play last night they do old R&B and rock. Guitar player is one of those whose played 40 years and nothing flashy, but every note fits perfectly musically and feel. He also has a great tone, but ever gig different gear but same great tone. Last night he shows up with a more recent Peavey Delta Blues, and this DIY cross between a Tele, Jazzmaster body, and a P90, but full clear tone. Well I can't drink anymore and all the hotties were biker old ladies so wasn't going to stare at them. So I decide to focus on how guitarist with funky gear gets such a great tone and it truly is his hands. His volume and tone knobs weren't touched except at end of the set to put his guitar down, but his sound and dynamics were changing all night, his picking and where he picked was his volume and tone knobs. That playing that guitar with the wide open volume and tone that cheap Peavey woke up and sounded full with a bit of speaker distortion. The guy is one of the multitude of great old guitar players that really understand tasty soulfull playing and how to get great tone from any gear.Last edited by docbop; 12-13-2015 at 03:25 PM.
