Members woolyh Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Guess that applies to the company and the man himself. The Wiki tells me nothing so are Dumble amps actually still being made and is Alexander Dumble AKA the big crystal lettuce still alive? There's so much mystique surrounding the Dumble universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hotmess Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Who cares? You don't need a Dumble anymore. The Freekish Blues Alpha Drive is a Dumble-in-a-box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, Alexander Dumble's poop is used to cover the Crystal Lettuce in the Alpha Drive, as soon as he dies the mojo will be lost forever.

Members Tremster Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 I won "The Dumble Book" in a guitar magazine giveaway years ago. It has reviews and interviews from the time before he became the guru and was just a start up. And a portrait of every single Dumble amp ever made. "Was owned by SRV", "has a stain somewhere".Browsed through it. Been sitting on the shelf ever since. The book, that is.But I think he's still alive.

It is not signed by him, it says "Promotion copy, not for sale" and someone wrote "Giveaway" underneath.It also says on page 2: All rights reserved, may not be reproduced, bla bla.

Members mmolteratx Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Last I heard, he's still alive and occasionally modding amps. Kinda covert though. Like he'll go to a shop, offer to do some mods and then people bring stuff in not knowing it's Dumble. Other than that, he likes to make black powder firearms. There's a whole bunch of info in a .zip file somewhere that has some pretty recent interviews and pics. His house is like that crazy old guy that lives in everybody's neighborhood.

Members Angry Tele Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 supposedly he just mods Fender amps these days, and doesnt make any more amps. But! Keith Urban has been seen playing one the last few years so who knows...the dude is an enigma wrapped up in a pretzel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
