    The Bumbox is the shit, get one now before you have to wait 2 years-trust me!
    I think the price is beyond great, the looks are amazing and the sound, well the clips are just the tip of the iceberg. We are giving one away at ToneFest!

    yeah you just fucking sold me, and i've only listened to 1 clip so far.

    nothing else out there seems to even compare ... not at $400 that is for DAMN SURE ! ! !
    the gain knob is just pure BONUS.

    yeah, I know the money is set aside, if you want one you might want to get in ASAP.

    These things have a way of exploding. Waiting in this sense usually means waiting big time. You can find a cabinet later there are lots of good cabinet builders that we've discussed. I can't remember if we've mentioned tone tools or not.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    dude.
    i'm IN.
    i have to go to the store and get some food for a lunch meeting here at the office but when i come back i'm sending an email over asking about placing the order ...

    it WILL happen TODAY.

    i can see these going on 6month wait very quick
    and then i see the price going up to at least $650 if not $850+
    agree?
    yup.

    thanks again, all.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/112-AVATAR-Guitar-Speaker-cab-Eminence-Wizard-WOW_W0QQitemZ7410298663QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    speaker cab. 100 bucks including shipping, Bada Bing Bada Boom.

    Eminence Wizard. 75 watter very clean, pretty stiff cone, if you don't like it though you can always sell it and swap it for something else.

    There are some Ear Candies on their too.

    For those type of features that price ain't gonna last long.

  • i just placed my order for the Lead1.

    I may bid on that Avatar if it doesn't go up too hight.

    I know this sounds retarded but, as much as i LOVE my matched flamed maple 2x12 Buzzbomb from Earcandy (that i picked up on ebay, it was a demo piece they did for a wood show) ... i can NOT STAND their new logo (that stupid false-metal core blood drip logo) ... and the new direction their designs have taken are just so beyond-the-pale dark \ goth and blah ... i dunno ...

    i'd like to post a pic. of the cabinet i picked up 2 years ago from them so you all could see the difference in where they were and where they are now.

    i asked the guys at sombrabella if they knew of any other cab makers,
    but i guess i'll probably pick up an avatar in the near future ...

    worst comes to worse i'll run this thing through only the 1 side of my stereo 2x12.

    :D

    I think Bumbox is going to sell so many they will be backordered for years and the price has got to go up. I can't wait for mine :)
    Enjoy it!!!!
    One nice feature is you can use just about any cab you want, so there is no need to sacrifice if you have a second rig.
    I am glad you dig it and make sure you let me know how you like it.

    Hell maybe I should get one too. Anybody want to buy an 87 LP Studio wine red dot inlay Ebony, schallers? Anyone? Bueller?

    Why not just use your Ear Candy you already love?

    Nate is the owner and one cool guy. I am going to talk to him in a few. I'll see if I can get him to come over here and introduce himself.

    it's a 2x12 wired in STEREO ...
    somehow i doubt being able to get this Bumbox w\ stereo outs
    (but fuck me if i didn't ask. :D )

    anyhow,
    i need something portable ... and even if it WAS easy to move ...

    it's polyeurethane coated bookmatched maple ... NO tolex ... so it is too much of a looker to be dragging back and forth ...

    i already have an ding or two on the front top from a goober of a friend who laid the guitar against it with the strings facing and the strings dug a sliver in to it...

    i'd rather keep it stationary ...

  • BTW -- I am in cue for a Lead 1 from Bumbox!
    Super excited,
    and he is adding an extra out on the back so i can have the option of plugging in to a 1x12 (that i've yet to get) or my current 2x12 which requires 2 cables (as it's stereo) ...


    BJF BBOD -- anyone? anything? JoZ?

    Any news is good news at this point.
    Thanks a million, J!

    I CAN'T WAIT to get the Lead1.
    I'm DYING to crank a fucking amp ...

    honestly, even when i try to crank my Egnater, it doesn't sound so hot ...
    a. because the tubes are so damn old
    b. because it is so loud i get vibrations off of the walls and shit.
    ugly noises...

    this 1watter is gonna be fun!

    ha ha, I have this problem too. I was helping my friends guitar player dial in his AC30 CC for recording, but it was in this like 10x12 room with wood floors and walls, I was going, uh, yeah, part of the problem is you bought an amp that's WAY WAY too loud for the application everytime I got it to operating range he says, wow that sounds good but it's too loud. I said....yeah I agree. Why did you buy this amp? He says because david gilmore and Billy Corgan have used them and I wanted to sound like that....

    Oh well, Hopefully the Bumbox is as ill as it sounds on the clips. Good luck on the BBOD.

    nice story Pac, it sounds about like my situation.
    I'm now forced to wonder, "what the fuck was i thinking, buying a HUNDRED WATT amp!" ... lol.
    I know, i did it because it had an attenuator knob all the way down to 10watts.

    But knowing now what i should have known then, even 10watts is too much.
    Although, i'm not sure that 2 or 3 years ago there were even any viable 1W options.

    This is a very recent phenomenon, yes?

    I'm sure the Lead1 will not dissapoint.
    i'd just like to know what effects were used with it on those clips at the bottom of the page, or if they were taken from a recording post-preduction (ie. studio effects) ... those last set sound WAY to "done up" to be dry signal... i'd just like to know what is being used ... reverb\delay & ?
    hmm. i'd really like to nail that near-screetching feedback laden sonic-rapture enducing Neil Young Live Rust era guitar sound!
    :D

    All I know about the Lead1 is that I placed my order 1 week ago and it was a 3 week wait. Today a couple buddies placed orders and it is an 8 week wait.

    I think Nate is going to have to hire some helpers ;) This one is a keeper.

    It was something like 4 to 6 weeks when I sent my deposit in,
    which was ... uh ... letterman ... uh ... Thursday!

    Yeah ...
    like i said earlier ... this will be $800 with a 2 year wait in a month.
    :D

    and as long as those "helpers" don't muddy up the production before i get MINE.
    lol.

  • my buddy and i laid down a track a piece this past sunday ...

    recorded with a gretch (his favorite) and an LP (My fav) run through Saffron Yellow > Shannon PHaser > Baby Blue > BumBox Lead 1 > Mesa Boogie Black Shadow ...

    both tracks sound fucking phenomenal ...
    my buddy ran his track dry except the BBOD ...
    i used just a smidge of SYT and the Shannon with the BBOD cranked mid vol mid drive very little treble ... flying V for the amp ...

    IT KICKS ASS ... the tone i mean ... the tracks are bloody half decent but when i listen to the tone i got, i almost cream ...

    wow!
    :D
