    Oh that's just fucking ridiculously insane.

    That being said. If I was a rock star with my own studio. I'd buy it and write it off on my taxes.
    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.

    no, hell no, no no no no no.

    If there were a holy grail of amplifiers, that'd be it.

    there are plenty of other expensive more fun things to smash.

    I still can't believe how much it is going for. We should all pitch in and take turns, fractional AMP ownership baby!

    No bids yet. I've seen dumble "heads" at around 10 to 15 grand.

    we'll see if they get it. Probably likely. Just not from us normal folks.

    you could trade your Dinan for it.



    For almost 27 grand, I can think of a few amps I'd buy over it. I'd probably get one custom built just for me for much less.

    26K is a ton of cash for an amp, it better perform damn good oral sex for that kind of cash LOL

    I would buy a matchless, and 2 vintage axes for the same cash.

    well there are some other custom manufacturers that could build one near as well now it's just the fame of it all. I personally think Mad Professor, Diezel, Two Rock, and others could get close. Diezel needs to work on the cosmetics. But damn if the VH-4 dosen't sound good.

    Hell Dr. Z or even Matamp could probably do it as well if given the time.

    There are quite a few Dumble copies out there.

    I love Matchless.

    We don't talk enough about crap that's way to expensive for everyone but rock stars around here.

    The expensive shit is what keeps me interested. I am just amazed by the tone. Hell we all need something to aspire to, or look forward to. Who knows maybe one day I can afford one.

    Two Rock is some expensive stuff, I hear they are just amazing. But Matchless is my next amp, they are just perfect IMO.

    yeah, indeed. Matchless makes a several outstanding amplifiers. I'd love to have a Cheiftan.

    Yep, the Cheiftan is the shit.
    The Two Rock amps are really nice, probably just as good as anythign out there. What's another grand when you are in that price range?
    There is another Dumble on ebay and its much better for the price.

    The other one is twice as much because it was handbuilt and signed by Howard Dumble. That's the difference. This one is team built.

    Is it worth the extra 10K?

    to me it's not to a collector it would be.

    that tonesmith is cool.

    I'd just get about 10-15 Fender, Marshall, Vox and THD amps and then get a mess o' cabinets to go with them, and have a custom amp-to-cabinet router system built for me.

    Or maybe look for a used BMW M3.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Would you accept a used silver BMW DINAN 540i?

    LOL, or a used X5?
    The Dinan car sold this week.

    I also found out a cousin of mine owns a vintage guitar shop on the east coast. Brass Gear?

    A BMW SUV?


    If that isn't a fuckin' oxymoron... I don't know what is...


    And while the name "Dinan" perks my post-pubescent ears...

    The alphanumeric "540i" deflates my... interest...

    That's like a sports car for a guy with kids. Ewww...

    No, I want the M3. Small, tight, quick and nimble. I love my women...


    I MEAN CARS! CARS!


    Love my cars like that.

    clearly you've never driven a Dinan 540i. There are many people with very expensive porsches that weep on the interstate. The extra seats are for the bitches you're hauling around. :)

    Seriously though, I'm with you on the M3 and the women I'm a one woman man I like the small, tight, quick and nimble

    Oh by the way I saw a new Lotus Elise in the mountains last weekend. Wow. now that is a bad ass go kart.


    I'd put money on the X5 being the wife's ride.
