I'd rock the shit out of that however $3,500 is absolutely insane sorry seller. I would like to have the destroyer but I think these amps while sound pretty awesome are way too steep in price considering what you could get for the same amount.

Well this one is.
They are $2,800 but if you want a custom airbrushed design that is an extra $600 then tax and all of that.
Even stock, $3,000 is too much for one of these IMO. That is like saying the quality is on par with Friedman, Bogner and the likes of the big dogs and also that the quality is better than the smaller builders.
I think the Blades sound great and I would definitely play one, for the right price. But it is a fact the quality is not on par with any of the other companies and there are many small builders who are more knowledgeable, provide much higher quality, better attention to detail and sound just as good for much less money.
I am sorry Mr Blades but your amps are WAY overpriced. I always give him the benefit when these discussions come up because I like to route for the underdog but this is just common sense and logic. I would imagine his quality has gotten better over the years since that famous blades guts picture however, I haven't seen any internals on any of these amps so who knows.

I believe so.....The custom Tiger crap makes it more expensive. I do not understand why someone would what an amp with a tiger graphic. Maybe the fuzzy tiger tolex would be cool and that is a maybe, but the amp looks like it was designed to be used at The Circus!!!!

I've been a longtime Blades critic. Can't stand the hypocrisy, dissing other builders etc...and no I would never buy one. But, I do believe he has someone building the amps for him now, and they are point to point wired. So they should be a decent build quality.maddnotez":3pci7wo1 said:mooncobra":3pci7wo1 said:

Blades build quality is on par with his tattoos. Bush league shit. Anyone who has seen the inside of of one of these knows billy is a hack. Ad that to his psychotic, dillisional and arrogant attitude makes for a completely bad investment.

But when was the last time you have seen one?
Did you see the comment above stating that Blades now has others building his amps now?

Is even worse to me.
I buy a boutique amp because of the taste, hears, and final tuning of the builder. Otherwise marshall mods are all over the web, i could do it myself...

If a person doesn't have the skill and passes himself off as more, that's indicative of many other things than just soldering skills. I don't need to see any more to know that he's neither a stand up person nor providing anything new to the amp world other than someone with Internet access, a little money, and making themselves out to be something they are not while belittling the same people he copies from. I dont care who builds his amps. Too many real amp builders out their to settle for posersmaddnotez":caku6ttx said:

I'd rather have a Boss Waza Amp.
I wouldn't want an amp that looks like that, unless Dumble or Fortin built it (I could always re-tolex/paint it!)
