Dumble talk by Don Felder
I was watching Don Felder rig talk and found his Dumble discussion interesting. Mr. Dumble very much active in 2016 at least.
Starting at 24:00 Dumble discussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLMJIfmaVzM

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
I've seen and heard a number of interviews with Felder, from big-time outlets like Howard Stern to "tell us about your pedal board"-type YouTube videos for guitar geeks, and he invariably comes across as the most pleasant, humble, even-keeled guy you could ever hope to meet. But in that Eagles documentary that came out a couple years ago, Henley and Frey seemed like they just detested him. It would be interesting to know what really went on.

Wow! I'd heard rumors he refused to work on anything, and was only doing custom gun work of some kind now. Good to know he helps the rock gods still

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
remember about a month ago I mentioned I was at a friends house and Eric Clapton had been over the day before and said HAD was building him a new amp. A 100w Bandmaster.

Yes I remember you talking about the Eric Clapton amp build.norburybrook wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:39 am remember about a month ago I mentioned I was at a friends house and Eric Clapton had been over the day before and said HAD was building him a new amp. A 100w Bandmaster.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
What sort of Bandmaster?
Tweed, brown face or black face. I wonder if Clapton is in any shape to use it?
I saw pictures of him in a wheelchair.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
I saw that too Mark. I'll be seeing my friend next week who was Eric's guitarist so if Eric has been over I'll enquire as to what's happening.
Eric had asked HAD for a 100w bandmaster, he didn't go into details, I 'm not sure Eric does amp details to be honest.

This is for EJ and R. Ford fans curiosity.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
Yeah that Blues Cube Artist has gotten my attention. A little too pricey though IMO. If it were $300 cheaper I'd go for it.Mark wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 12:01 pm Felder also said this.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
Yeah I agree, it piqued my curiosity. I like the fact it is simple to use and I don't need a pedal board covered in footswitches. The modules didn't do it for me, the dirty channel of the EJ model sounds too dark. I didn't think there was a lot of tonal difference.
I also wonder why these guys have chosen this amp and as far as I can tell they don't use it. Has anyone seen RF, EJ or Don Felder using one live?

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
I saw the robben ford demo of this amp and thought it sounded awful. I doubt you'll see any of these guys using those amps. It's just a money thing and fair play to them if they've built the reputation that will bring them some extra income. Neither Robben or EJ have made the kind of money someone like John Mayer or Eric Clapton have made so they still need to earn a living.Mark wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2017 2:22 am Yeah I agree, it piqued my curiosity.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
I think I saw the same video as you. RF was playing the amp at NAMM and it did sound awful. I would have thought Roland would have specified live usage in the contracts with RF and EJ. The Don Felder clip sees him gushing over the amp, yet he doesn't use it live.

Re: Dumble talk by Don Felder
It would not surprise me if any them don't use it. They can afford to pay someone to baby their amps while on tour so they are just going to play whatever they are most comfortable with.
However, if you believe this video, Chuck Loeb uses them on stage...
