Which of the Dumbles are they building. Wasn't his stuff all 1 of 1?
They were originally crafted for an A-list clientele, setup specifically to respond to their own playing style, and they couldn’t be bought stock from a wider inventory. A newly established Dumble website has confirmed new amps are on the cards, as well as a complete database of every Dumble ever made.Which of the Dumbles are they building.

They've been making them in Doncaster for ages haven't they?
They were originally crafted for an A-list clientele, setup specifically to respond to their own playing style, and they couldn’t be bought stock from a wider inventory. A newly established Dumble website has confirmed new amps are on the cards, as well as a complete database of every Dumble ever made.
What’s most notable, though, is the fact the statement reveals the current Dumble overseers have access to “schematics… and databases of all authentic Dumble amplifiers ever in existence”.
Dumble.com is maintained by the successor to Mr. Dumble’s business, who owns all intellectual property rights associated with Dumble amplifiers, including trademarks, schematics and other trade secrets, together with records and databases of all authentic Dumble amplifiers ever in existence sufficient to verify authenticity.
“New and exciting product lines and services are in the works”: Dumble is under new ownership – and it will begin making amps again using the elusive amp builder’s “trade secrets”

So those with the dollars will be ordering a 'Lowell George' dumble or a 'Stevie Ray Vaughan' dumble
.............. I've got a Marshall stack
I just saw a comment on other forum that they are not making amps, just protecting the intellectual property
How are they Dumble if Alexander isn’t building them, same as Trainwrecks if Ken Fischer isn’t building them?
Yeah. Dumbles were built by one guy, the examples you gave weren’t. Gibson, Fenders, Marshall’s were assembly line built. Not the same thing. Not arguing the legality of as much as the morality of it. Sounds like a cash grab.The rights go with the name. That's the law.
Leo Fender's been dead for 33 years. Fender still makes guitars and amps.
Orville Gibson's been dead for 106 years. Gibson still makes guitars.
Jim Marshall's been dead for 12 years. Marshall still makes amps.
Problem?
