Where did Brandon go? Funkaliciousgroove?

I was talking to Brandon on the phone today and he says to say hi to everyone!! He is really really busy building amps for famous people and has not been active on any forums for a while.

LOL on the famous people, but some are.... hehe

Jon Herington, Larry Carlton, Matt Schofield and I think Robben Ford are quite famous

I'm probably the only one who hasn't ordered one yet LOL

Brandon apparently needs to come back and reveal some of his 'secrets' in order to take the over load off of his orders.

Maybe he needs to hire some help. I could use a job change and would love to live back in Denver again. Part of me (the part that isn't married) is serious.

Don't you mean Dumbles secrets.

Am glad to hear Brandon is doing well, and wishing him further success. His chassis' were top notch.

[johan]

More chassis and trannies wanted!

I don’t blame Brandon. I know what it takes to get a business off the ground 16 hour days 7 days a week
For the first five years. I suspect after Brandon’s post of the dumbleator (thank you Brandon) and nic at ceritone started knocking them off week’s later that would do it for me. I recall the 300-500 phone calls
And 200-300 walk-ins per day. My doctor made me retire and when my home phone started ringing off the hook it pissed me off. Fame is double edged good and bad. I’m sure that if you want to order product from Brandon he will get back with you as time allows.

I don't think Brandon worries about Ceriatone. His products are in another league. Ceriatone fits in a certain price point and Brandon is in another.

[dr. who]

I have seen him show up on Facebook more often than here or TGP as of recent.

It's not that he worries about competition from Ceriatone, he's probably bothered by the fact that they are profiting from work he did and shared with everyone while giving no credit to him whatsoever or without asking his permission.

Actually, he is just really busy building amps. He now does it full time.

He was getting sucked into the bullshit that always happens and it was interfering with his work.

Also, nobody is happy when peopel lurk here and then use the stuff discussed. At least join up and post once in a while. I refer to those that never even say hi or thanks. Then fans of that builder trash the more expensive domestic builders as being overpriced. Kind of annoying....

as being overpriced

They just don't understand the high quality amplifiers that are being produced is all, uninformed decision makers.

Minor correction...
It is Howard Dumble's work being exploited and profited from...



What is silly about this place too is that the only people getting short changed on the whole "gotta keep this a secret so other builder don't use it" is the DIY crowd....
Every pro builder in these parts knows stuff the general public does not....
For fear that some other builder might see it here and use it...

Isn't that interesting and odd?

[M Fowler]

I can't comment on any secretive goings on, as me arse still hurts from my last SSS commets a few years ago.

However, the show must go on and so it does.

I have more data squirrel away then I know how to catalog.

I don't think he is worrying about Ceriatone profiting. Brandon has a strong product and customer base that continues to grow. No need to sweat the small stuff. Heck if he wanted to sell his products in the range of ceriatones prices, all it would take is a week in China.

I believe from what I see, he is building top end, extreme high quality products.
