Larry let's see some work in process. Or parts? Station?

[Racerxrated]

Guys that have no concept of what custom work is and how unpredictable timelines are. Go play your instant "just add water" amp. I'm sure Larry remembers every amp he's done, while the rest of you are playing a f#$@ing line item on a corporate ledger, or best case scenario, an amp made by some paint by numbers self proclaimed internet amp Messiah whos only designs consist of whatever sales schtik they come up with. I can probably count using fingers on only 1 hand where you will get an amp of this quality and true custom nature

This mindset is a clear contrast between pro players and hobbyists of a certain income- where bragging and cost really just appeals to the vanity of the buyer. Most guys I know that are really good players will sound great on the "just add water" gear you mention... then there are those who can't play and prefer the designer jeans version. The condescension is truly ironic....

Yep, there are those guys out there. Can't hardly play the instrument, except for a few open chords but HAVE to have the most expensive/rare stuff. But, I'm sure there are some very good players who have great gear too.
Since this is a Larry thread, his amps seem to cost the most out of any high gainer out there. Wizards come in a close 2nd though, over 5K now with customs fees etc...guys certainly bitch about how much these amps cost....

Then why do guitars get a free pass? Have you seen the new price tags of some of these builders?? Like 7-8K for a ESP USA Custom Shop, 5-7K for a 50s era LP from Gibby...not to mention the LP clone builders at 10K or more?? Suhrs new are 5-6K now. How come no hate (disdain) for these guitar builders? And yes they also have stories of HUGE wait times of 3-5 yrs for some of them...

You got a good point there but what I cant understand is the price of all this shit when rock n roll is what fueled it in the first place and its in the shitter. Its like supply and demand backwards. At least 50% less guitar players so lets jack the prices up 50% I guess that's mentality. I guess you could also put 2k down on a Larry amp and save $100 a month and by the time 4 years passes you got it paid for wowza

 

[SBlue]

So in all how long did it take to get the British Purist?

A little less than 3 years.
It's a long wait, but it's worth every cent I've paid and every minute I've waited for.

Answer: Kids. Their uneducated world view and inexperience shows thru. Every time. High Gain Custom Built Tube Amps... who are the chronic complainers, in shock, awe and most in disbelief... mostly kids.

For those complaining about build times, custom made items, parts, et al... go check out the build time for a custom ordered or custom color Ferrari or Lamborghini... just a car right... why so long? They've got a big factory full of workers?

These are the same people that will walk in to the Ferrari dealer asking why $200,000 for this car... my Mom's Toyota Prius was a lot cheaper and does the same thing? See what the car dealer says to you and where he tells you to go.

Glad you are satisfied that is all that counts.

Thanks for letting us know. I am glad it was worth the wait! Cheers

And then there are those who are really good players that sound great on an average amp but can sound even greater on a better amp.

… and mediocre players who sound worse on better gear etc etc.... the combinations are endless~

 

[panhead]

I goggled the Dino939? You mean he charges 9k for this amp? That's fuckn insane

 

[panhead]

That may be wrong. One sold on reverb used I take it from Florida in 2015 for 12,000 plus $500 shipping

Yea and then the guy who bought it had it up for sale a few months later. It was sitting on Reverb for quite a long time. He dropped his price from $12000 to $10000 and finally $8500.

Ouch.

Hell of a hit he took. $8,500 seems more appropriate. $6k amp with a 2 year wait. Skip the line for $2,500 extra.

Yea it was a good opportunity for someone with the $. And dude you keep saying 2 years. It’s at least 3 or more.

No it isn't. Where are you getting 3 years?

His current wait time is 26 months he has already said that. I assume you are riding on the one single case where a build was delayed because he was in the hospital? Get real.

 

[panhead]

Has Larry stated what the amps cost now as of 2020?

Right at 3 years here sir

You forget Stevek? Ordered in 2015. Still no amp to this day. Only after Larry saw what was going on here did he reach out to Steve’s widow. How do you explain that?

To finally correct the BS of our omniscient Troll about the 5th or 6th time - slowly it becomes boring:

Order was placed in Oct 2015
Down payment went through in Jan 2016
I've announced shipping in Jul 2017
He's postponed by some serious health issues and upcoming hospital stops and said, he'd coming back to me after this all
I've never heard back from him
Just 2 or 3 weeks ago I've heard first time, that he's passed away
Yes I haven't been on Rig-Talk or on other forums a very long time due to my health issues
First time I came back here has just been 3 weeks ago
Meanwhile I've sorted it out with his widow Siobhan already more than a week ago
Inspector Troll might determine whether it's true and then confirm

Edit: Everybody who claims or tries to suggest something different has to bring the proof here! Not only words! Real proof, links, documents, aso!

 

[novosibir]

I want to see a work in progress...

This might happen on Wantsday

... and at least hear the wait time.

And this maybe on Hearsday

AND how long the person waited for the amp to be shipped. That's all.

Where is your benefit of knowing about this?

It would look a lot better for Larry to post that.

What if I don't want to look still better than I already do?

But I don't care. It would only help him.

No! Quite the opposite would be the case.
If I'd post photos of an amp in progress, then you's see my circuits and wiring w/o deliberate mistakes, you'd see the board assembled with the correct part's values aso.
You'd see something, what's quite different to that on the photos, I'm showing on my Facebook business page.

Have you really been so naive, thinking that I'd show my real circuits to the entire world and this up into each detail?
Sorry for disappointing you.

At this point I really don't care. A week ago I had respect for Larry. Before the childish shit. Now it has dwindled. Larry is making himself look like a fool.

You make me sad

He has not shown professionalism in my opinion.

In other words: I have not shown that, what others have expected from me.
But has anyone asked himself, whether not only my amps are different to others, but maybe also my thinking might be different to your?
Drive down your expections to others, then you can minimize your disappointments.
By any means I'm myself, not shaped by anyone, not programmed by school and education, to fit into the matrix.
Take me as I am, or simply keep off - now I don't care

But small batch production is FAR more efficient. Do three boards, assemble three chassis, etc.

Never ever. Efficiency isn't my goal. Finally dig it!
Quality is my goal. Best sounds possible. Highest reliability and longevity.
This isn't possible with "three at once", because your concetration will be splitted (divided) by three

OK attack me. Someone who has been a supporter for the last three weeks or so regarding your scenario.

Brilliant move.

I don't care about your bullshit anymore, I have stated nothing against you, just the post you ripped apart.

Look I feel bad your design had been ripped off. I do.

But the last few days you have been nothing but childish in your responses,like a PMSing 14 year old girl.

You are the one digging your grave. I could now give a fuck less.

Larry will sell many more amps because of these threads that have been appearing here and on TPG. Good or bad, more business for Larry. Up until a couple of weeks ago I never even heard of Larry, and if Krull hadn't been such a douche-bagette, I probably never would have read the thread!

I will some day own something Larry.
