Mostly hype Mike on Dumbles. They do sound good for some and they are few in numbers like Franklins but there is no rational reason big stars buy those things.
I think in most cases its about bragging rights but Im sure the buyers love them, or at least they better to throw down 6 figures for one! Bludotone builds a D-Style amp as well for 5K that guys like Ford and Carolton use so they can preserve their investments. Dumbles are finite and have been 100% copied so there really ins't some sort of voodoo on those things.
Cheers Mike....
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you

I did. 11.5K with only 5 knees. Guess that puts my 8/6 @ 12K!
Bob you never know, At the end of the day it really boils down to what someone will pay,
Mike and Mike ...10 years ago I was offered a Dumble overdrive special for 22,500.00, played it for a few hours with different cabs, really gave it a work out,
A great amp, for sure, But I thought the price was crazy,
Its double that today, at least, who's the Dumble now? LOL.
Stuff like this is hard to predict, but generally they go up,

Greg,
I saw a Dumble OD Special with a 2x12 cab at Gruhns 4 or 5 years ago before they moved. It was a 150K LOL. Completely stupid but I guess Hype sells to people with more money than brains.

At the time I thought the amp was as good as the really nice classic's, but of course different,
Like a nice Blackface amp, or a old Copper panel Ac 30 , or an old Marshall,
But it had that Dumble mojo, you know its the only one on the Block for sure,

Yeah but since those days they have been duplicated easily and a blindfold test will prove that. Now, if you want an investment that (might) go up even more thats another subject matter.

every time I read about stuff like this I remember my heroes, Buddy and Lloyd, Buddy with his old push pull and $300 Peavey amps, and Lloyd with his old Sho~Bud and Twin ... if I could only play like these guys, you can keep your Dumbles lol ....
Totally agree, nice appreciate the guys that make great instruments to,
Its an art as well, and one that usually makes great players sound even better,
