SSS #004
These is everthing I gathered of the Dumble Steel String Singer #004 so far
A previous owner confirmed it has a "classic" tonestack

Re: SSS #004
I think the speaker the #004 is using (3rd pic) is Altec Lansing 417 12". The ones on the Dumbleland cab look like EV EVM 12L

Re: SSS #004
I was listening to this great video of JM playing the #004 https://youtu.be/hbfBI9bopcY
Given it is sitting next to the Fender Dual Professional I figured we can reverse engineer the size of the cab. They look like standard SSS 26.5".
I attach below the sizes of the Dual Professional which will give a bit of guidance

Re: SSS #004
I have a question for the Dumble savy here
I noticed that the cabinet built for #004 can be used as combo. There is a gap on the top to drop in the chassis.
Given this SSS has a reverb and hence a reverb tank, which is usually placed on the lower (floor) part of the head cabinet, or similarly on the lower (floor) part of the combo.
Is it a fair assumption that both the head and the cabinet have their individual reverb tanks for the potential chassis drop in?

Re: SSS #004
This looks to be the cabinet John is using with the #004 http://maverick-music.com/vintage-amps/ ... bo-cabinet
Incredibly rare Dumble product, 2×12 speaker cabinet with the removable top panel which allows this cabinet to become a 2×12 suede combo. It is in excellent original condition with zero issues, the tan suede is remarkably clean.
Two Original Dumble spec JBL D131 drivers in perfect operational condition. 8 original metal corners and 4 original metal feet, and original strap handle. A piece of Dumble history and extremely flexible as a speaker cabinet with a head or, as a 2×12 combo.

Perhaps these photo threads should be moved to the files section.

Re: SSS #004
AFAIR what Henry Kaiser told: The combo cabinet is the original cabinet of SSS 100W #004. Later SSS #004 was (and still is) mounted in the head cabinet and the top (front and back) of the combo cabinet was (and still is) closed.Bombacaototal wrote:I noticed that the cabinet built for #004 can be used as combo.
Cheers,

Re: SSS #004
I just exchanged a couple emails with MaverickDoes anyone knows which wood was this cabinet made of?
The speaker cabinet was made of oak
They said many of the dumbles are marine ply
