Then I hope you have a spare £90K.
It's not like it's even Stevie Ray Vaughan's.

There’s a bank manager out there that will buy it.

Joe bonamassa has a few of them. Not sure what the appeal is to be honest at this price.

Doesn't even have the original speaker?

Eh? Yes, I think it does, it’s not a head/cab, it’s a combo, with an optional second speaker in a matching cab for stereo, if I understand the description correctly. All the controls will be inset on the top of the amp. That’s what it looks like to me, anyway, ready to be corrected if wrong.
Ridiculous amount of money for an amp, pretty sure most musicians will just buy whatever amp/speaker/combo/whatever takes their fancy from a dealer, or might have amps specced if they’re a major outfit, most I’ve seen seem to use stock amps, then use an effects board to shape the sound.
Edit - just had a closer look at the photo, it’s cropped badly and all the controls are across the top front, above the speaker, like a Marshall combo.

Yeah but its a Dumble, and they've been mad money for years.
They've seem to got 3 others for sale, one of which was Bonamassa’s.

Price is a bit irrelevant when you can’t actually buy a new one, even if you had a spare 100k and a lot of influence as his order book will see him out, and any of them will have a load of provenance. To anybody who gets it and can afford it, that is. I get it, i’d never have the skills or the money to warrant it though!

Bonamassa obviously did, although 90k probably doesn’t have much of a bearing when you’ve got a 59 LP running through it.

Don’t know about the originals apart from Bonomasa, Santana etc using them but my Vox VT20X has a Dumble emulation mode which sounds rather nice.

£30k off though - bonus!

I paid £900 for an early 1970s Orange head and thought that was kinda pricey....

Dumbles are ridiculous. Also see Klon Centuar pedals. Or many 60s fuzz pedals. The Klons have their insides covered in black goo so Behringer can't work out the very simple circuit and clone it.
