Oh dear. Howard Dumble, the Damien Hirst of amp building must be laughing his balls off.

"Priced to sell" at ten grand. Bugger it, then, I'll take a couple

I'd certainly expect the flowerpot thrown in. With the deeds to the house planted in it.

An amp would go for maybe £20k at the moment so in ratio, it's probably about right. Certainly not worth it though. Nothing that Zilla couldn't do.

I doubt it.....unless he very cleverly enforced a "sell on" clause guaranteeing him a cut of any future profits from sale. Whilst Dumbles amps and speakers commanded high end pricing back in the day, they were never anything like the resale prices that are asked for nowadays.

All Dumble ridiculousness is ridiculous and not worth it.

But regardless of whether you think there's any 'magic' in the amps, this is six pieces of plywood, some tolex and other parts and an off-the-shelf speaker.

One grand would still be too much, but probably justifiable if you have a Dumble head.
