Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
Yes I was going by memory and that isn't working too well these days!
Back in 2007 the builder of LW amps had just starting building some amps from this Tino Z. book and posted it on a forum. He hadn't been building much at that point.
Here is that amp he posted in 2007: The one Robben is using is LW newest line which is basically a Fender 59 Bassman 5f6a his 59 series 50w
Or 89 series 100w:

Didn't he originally build a straight up older early octal 50's TV front Bassman circuit and from there kind of went into other older Tweed's..It's not surprising he eventually went to building the 5F6A circuit given its popularity and arguably the best guitar amplifier circuit ever used.
Thanks!

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
Thanks Mark. I actually built one of these (based off your recommendation) with beefier X-formers and still have it today and use it as a little practice amp. Sounds great especially with my Tele's. I can see why Vince liked them,M Fowler wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 3:20 amTony, yes he has done straight up tweeds and he still does.talbany wrote: ↑Sun Jun 13, 2021 9:17 pm Mark

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
Tony, I remember you and quite a few guys started building them, fun times.
I've built a few of these Tony and people really like this circuit fun with Pedal too.

From our "it only gets worse" department. Robben is now a PRS fanboy.....oy.

Jack Pearson......
I remember him saying when he bought a squire from Guitar center the assistant asked if he was going to modify it? he say :yes, I'm going to take this sticker off!!
Amazing player/Musician

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
Hey Marcus!
Other than that it's strings..Jack also has some really nice Vintage pieces as well..An SG to die for
BTW.I had the chance to get a few lessons from Jack a few years ago..What confused me was how much volume he gets out of a guitar with such a light touch..He seems to glide across the fretboard
BTW. He showed me how to get reverb off your pick
Tony
Yes especially after the whole covid debacle!!absolutely Tony, and you can't blame any musician at the moment taking any kind of financial help.
Jacks funny! I think the only mod he does is wire the bridge P.U to a tone knob ala E.JI remember him saying when he bought a squire from Guitar center the assistant asked if he was going to modify it? he say :yes, I'm going to take this sticker off!!

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
I'm not a fan of PRS, but are they really that different from Robben's old Fender Esprit with the exception of .5'' difference in scale length?
It's true i've lost my marbles and i cant remember where i put them

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
Yeah I was going to mention that also. Robben sounded really great playing that Fender guitar. Now having said that, I understand why Andy probably doesn't care much for Paul Reed Smith, and from what I heard, I wouldn't either. I will not say anymore than that.

Re: Hey Robben, where's your Dumble?
I was gifted a Squire Tele in payment for a repair I did on a guitar. It was a fair trade both ways, and it's a great little guitar ! I don't knock Mexican nor Squire guitars, as some are really sweet !! Jack could make a shoebox and rubber bands sound amazing though.....Robben's tone and playing isn't what is was...the hair-raising style and tone are just not there lately....and this comes from a big Robben fan here....since the Witherspoon days.talbany wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 12:30 pmOr a PRS endorsement check casher There's worse ways to make a buck.Robben is now a PRS fanboy.....oy.
