Kirk Hammett

[edit]

Hammett never used to play with a dumble amplifier, he always used to play with mesa boogie amplifiers, mark IV, double and triple rectifier and mark I. So I deleted his name from the list of Dumble players. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.50.43.44 (talk) 14:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Pictures

[edit]

Can someone help the listing by posting their photos of an ODS 50W combo to replace the deleted photo, which lacked correct copyright attribution, and possibly a photo of a Dumble Winterland - although I have only ever seen the one picture that was originally posted here.

Considering it isn't stated that this amp is necessarily superior to others, and normal people can't really buy this amp anyway, I don't see how this is NPOV. 24.76.183.115 00:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Totally agree, the value of these amps comes from their rareness. In so far they are like a painting of a famous artist. Also they are not really for sale. No advertisment in my opinion...

Mr. Dumble

[edit]

I've known Mr. Dumble for over twenty years. He hasn't lived in Santa Cruz since the early 1970's.

Picture of "Carlos Santana"

[edit]

That's not Carlos Santana, it's Neal Schon! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakehop (talk • contribs) 16:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


[edit]

As Dumble doesn't sell any amplifiers at retail and only by referral, this cannot be construed as an advrtisement.--Benfeing (talk) 00:05, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Gods of Toan"???

[edit]

Whoever edited the "Steel String Singer" and "150W Overdrive Special" sections, I want to say thank you for providing information that has nothing to do with this article. Quite frankly, one line is offensive to Mr. Dumble: "He spent a night in jail, but was released because he was "...too fat to keep in custody", says a Santa Cruz DA." Can someone do something about this genius?

Uhhh

[edit]

"Part of the characteristic sound of Dumble amplifiers comes from Dumble's choice of parts:"

Not the kind of assertion you should throw around lightly; a highly controversial topic by all accounts.

Another Dumble User

[edit]

I have a friend who is a professional photographer and back in the 80's he took pictures of Tom Verlaine at a solo concert. Some of the photos revealed that he was using an Overdrive Special. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GatesofDawn67 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"... resembles that of the old hi fidelity "James" circuits"

No idea what this means. Explain, please. PaulCHebert (talk) 06:41, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"$200,000 Dumble amp...made for Merle Haggard" isn't quite that

[edit]

The final sentence of the first paragraph in the lede states "Other examples have sold for more [than $150,000]." The link to the source for this claim is malformed and leads nowhere. I searched for the original claim and found the video in question on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10154783790461057&ref=sharing ) but it does not support the claim, it simply states "150 watt Dumble amp specifically made for Merle Haggard! $200,000!!!" with no source for this claim. Obviously a Facebook video does not qualify as a reliable source. Next I searched textually and found the amplifier in question, listed for sale on Reverb.com for $155,000. However, that amplifier is not listed as "specifically made for Merle Haggard", as the Facebook video claimed, but rather "rumored to have been originally built for Merle Haggard"; a significantly less definitive claim. Also, the listing says "Looks like someone already grabbed this gear!", which does not mean that it actually sold (it would say the same if the seller had accepted a lower offer, or if it had been withdrawn), but in either case, it does not support the claim that this amplifier "sold for more (than $150,000). Unless someone can furnish a source to show that this amplifier sold for more than $150,000, the claim should be removed. Bricology (talk) 22:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
