Ditto except I would swap out the Mesa for a Friedman something or other.

I considered a Blue face VH4 instead but having never played one it didn't seem right.:ROFLMAO:

Do you mean current production?

If not, I'd choose:

A vintage Marshall JMP

H&K Triamp 3

Cornford Hellcat

I'd also re-buy a VHT/Fryette D60 and Fender Prosonic

I know what you mean, I would have to try all the Friedmans before I picked one but I think it would be a Dirty Shirley.

forget what you already have and love, if price was no matter what are the five amps you would buy? also - please list 5, even if you only want 1 or 2 - think of it as you HAVE to buy 5 - curious as to what the "short list" amps are for members here

first guy to answer "dumble" loses their rig talk privileges

in no order:

Matamp GT120

Friedman Deluxe BE100

Fender BF Bassman

Marshall JCM 800 (vintage)

tie- either freyette deliverance or a diezel vh4

Production amps? I took that to mean currently in production.
 
If I had that much money, right now just to order one amp, I honestly think I would contact James Peters and see if he would just make me a 2 channel amp. I've talked to him forever and he would know what I want more than anyone most likely. I wouldn't even care how long it took. I actually hope to do this someday.

My bassist in my doom band has a Green (Matamp) GT150 and an Orange AD200. The Matamp is a much better build than the Orange.

Perhaps this was an American one? They had problems with them, and have since cut ties.

Not sure, it was purchased from a Spanish shop, but no idea where it was made. But yeah, if Usa ones had problems than it might have been one of those

There was a time period peters was well respected around here and it seemed everyone had one on order. I mean no respect at all to Rhodes, but I much prefer the sound and tone of Peters’ amps. It’s sad you don’t see more of them around. I’d gladly try one out on the used market but I have no intention to order a new one.

what, No Dumble?

If we are talking lottery money,

I’d buy one just to send to Monomyth so I could piss off all of TGP.

I’d make sure he took a photo of it gutted and to throw the extra components in a ziplock bag. I’d probably then list just the bag on reverb for $20,000 ?

Oh new idea. I’d want to turn a Dumble into a Fucking Fucker ???
