Mark Kane DUMBLE Style – Custom Order & Voiced for YOU!

Mark Kane DUMBLE Style – Custom Order & Voiced for YOU!

Mark Kane amps are 100% Built-To-Order. They are hand soldered on eyelets or posts.  The tolex, grille-cloth and woods are personalized.  Mark offers a staggering variety of models (Dumble, Trainwreck, Marshall & Fender), voicings and materials.

Most Mark Kane amps are available as heads, combos or head/cab setups.  Let Mark help you select the speakers that complement the voicing of the amp he is building you.

Mark Kane amps are custom voiced to the player who orders them.  To assure we get things right, the build process is highly interactive between the you, Mark Kane and Prime Guitars.

To start the process, some buyers will send us You-Tube or audio clips of a tone they are dreaming of.  Alternatively we have had great success just talking out your vision using reference songs, artists and products you have tried/loved.

Step two is for you and Mark to spend time communicating directly to exchange ideas and finalize the volume, voicing and aesthetics.

From there the process is a faithful 8-10 weeks until your amp ships.  Worried about getting things right?….relax, Mark offers a free re-voicing of your amp in the unlikely event your tone needs some tweaking

Dumble Style:  To my ears the classic Dumble tone has sustain, gain without fizz, chime, note bloom and touch sensitivity.  The sustain and dynamics come from the amp naturally.  Bad dumble-type amps sound as if a Boss pedal were wired in the circuit…they are not organic.  Mark Kane amps are the one Dumble-style amp I’ve tried that NAILS what I heard in my 80s ODS.

Now there are MANY styles of Dumble out there…70s Silver Face all the way to late 80s varieties to the early 2000s.  Mark has worked on and played dozens of the classic original Dumble amps…he doesn’t create yours from some schematic or formula.  EACH component can alter the touch and tone dramatically and therefore Mark himself selects all the parts one-at-a-time during the painstaking voicing process; that voicing is specific to what YOU describe during the pre-build consultations directly with Mark.  He has repeated this process hundreds of times with clients ranging from A-list pros to collectors.  You can trust the process because it is time tested.

Work with Mark to find just which variety of Dumble will work for YOUR needs.  Maybe it’s a Robben Ford style?…maybe it’s a later variety or MAYBE it’s something that starts with a Dumble style and adds a touch of something else (my fave has some Marshall flavors).  The beauty of a Mark Kane custom amp is that his skillset extends beyond any one style and you can create an amp that draws from ANY or EVERY classic ever made.

Each Dumble Style amp is built to your desired aesthetics with choices ranging from a plethora of colored tolex to suedes.  Need a matching cabinet with the RIGHT speakers?…no worries!…Mark can nail it for you.  Lastly, each Dumble comes with an accompanying tube buffered effects loop (a.k.a. Dumbleator) which is an integral part of the D-tone.

Own a Dumble but you’re afraid to take it out of your home?….let’s have Mark clone it for

MODELS:

Trainwreck Express:  The most aggressive Wreck style is capable of strong gain, overtones, sustain and overdrive but cleans up amazingly when your guitar’s volume is turned down.  A go-to amp for players who enjoy touch sensitivity and nuance picking translated into sound.  Format is two EL-34s and three 12AX7 vacuum tubes selected to compliment the tone you are seeking.  Controls include Volume, Bright Switch, Treble, Mid, Bass and Presence.   Variety of wood cabinets available to provide you with an amp as visually beautiful as it is aurally.

Trainwreck Liverpool:  High Gain and aggressive with overtones and sustain but not as driven as the Express model.  Cleans up faster and offers sparkling/jangly cleans characteristic of the EL84 vacuum tubes used in the circuit.  Touch sensitivity is a key characteristic of the Wreck amp and Mark Kane nails that dna in every amp.  Format includes four EL84 and three 12ax7 vacuum tubes personally selected by Mark to complement your build. Controls include Volume, Bright Switch, Treble, Mid, Bass and Presence.  Variety of wood cabinets available to provide you with an amp as visually beautiful as it is aurally.

Trainwreck Rocket:  Essentially an optimized Vox AC30 type amp offering sparking/jangly cleans ramping into vintage style push and gain.  VERY organic and musical amp with fullness and sustain and touch sensitivity.  Format includes four EL84s, three 12ax7s and a GZ34 rectifier personally selected by Mark to complement your build.   Mark can include a master volume on request.

WYSOCKI Custom Tele-Paul w Doyle Pickups: CHECK OUT THE “STASH” WOODS!

Think about it…would you buy an acoustic guitar made from crap wood?  Why do you think the top end acoustics command so much money?…the woods combined with the craftsmanship.  Well, let’s start with the WOODS….there is ONE person on the planet who is THE wood guy supplying the world’s top luthiers with coveted planks….Larry Wysocki.  For over 50-years he is THE guy the top builds go to.  He searches the world for air dried woods, recovered woods, exotic woods.  He collects them and has a coveted stash that is sadly running low.

A few times a year, Larry builds instruments.  Usually for celebs, but on occasion he is nice enough to sell me a brand new one.  THIS is such a piece.  Oh and it just vibrates like nothing we have had.  The pickups are custom voiced TOM DOYLE HUMBUCKERS that are open and alllow the woods to impart their organic warmth and natural sustain.

Speaking of woods…how about 5A AIR DRIED Flame East Maple Top 150+ Yeat Sinker Recovered Woods on top of a 1-piece AIR DRIED 60 Year Old Alder Body!.  Oh, and a 5A 1-Piece Air Dried Maple Neck from 150+ years ago (Recovered Woods).  OH and the board…Brazilian Rosewood of course but not some stump wood…THis is 100-year old Brazilian from the stash of Czech Republic Woods!.  You just can’t find woods like this anymore.

You can see the complete Spec & Condition Sheet in the 3rd Picture.

A couple other quick points before you bang out a question to me:

  • 6lb-8oz
  • Custom TOM DOYLE Pickups!
  • 12″ Radius
  • C Profile .83″ – .97″ Neck
  • 1-11/16″ Nut
  • Med/Lg Frets

Ronin BADMOON 2019 – MASTER Grade Salvaged Old Growth Redwood upgrade!

Very recent Ronin Badmoon from one of the last batches to be produced.   If you haven’t played a Ronin Badmoon you are in for THE most additive piece you can add to your collection or arsenal.  You chase tone….you have X of this same model because of slight differences in tone…..cast that aside friend….RONIN is like none other.  Picture, if you can, an amplified acoustic meets Tele meets LP Jr meets Gretsch meets Ric……Play with feeling?…this LOVES if you dig into it but responds so well if you vary your attack.  I’ve sold Ronins to A-list Celebs….collectors and everyday players.

This piece features the upgraded MASTER Grade Salvaged Old Growth Redwood.  IT weighs just 5lb-15oz.  Factory aging but there is one area shown where it’s difficult to determine if the wear is factory or user…in any event it fits into the character of the piece given the ‘luthier’ wear.

1956 Fender Tele – 100% Original

1956 Fender Tele.  There is something plunk plunk plunky about these that you just can’t replicate (or part with).  Just a classic sound that makes a guy want to play clean for once and put away the high gain stuff.  You won’t play Ratt on this one.

I have been offered a lot for this and have not yet decided to part with it.  Part of the collection for now.

Enjoy!

D’Pergo Signature Contoured Bakersfield – Made for Julien Kasper

D’Pergo SIGNATURE Contoured Bakersfield (Telecaster).  This is about as high end a guitar as we carry.  New this was $15.5k about 7 years ago….today pushing $20k.  You rarely if ever see one for sale….and this was made for a celeb and well-known player of D’Pergos (Julien Kasper).

Every single detail of this masterful instrument is top of the line and painstakingling approached.  Start with the woods.  D’Pergo Guitars are build with the finest woods available.  OLD GROWTH, RECOVERED, PRIMARY GROWTH woods that are simply too expensive and rare for the big guys to mess with.  If you believe (like most do) that old wood is a major part of the secret for vintage guitars…well D’Pergo has been specializing in this for decades.

We have sold over 60 D’Pergo Guitars.  We can help you determine if this piece is suitable for your playing style and needs.

See the pictures.  There are all the details you desire about woods, measurements and wear.  This guitar is SUPER clean and barely shows any signs of use.

We do not have documentation supporting the celeb ownership; however, Mr D brokered this piece to the prior owner because Julien wanted essentially the same instrument but chambered and this became duplicative.

Wysocki Tele – 100+ Yr Old Aged Recovered Amazing “Secret Stash” Woods!

So you spend your time searching for guitars.  You ask a zillion questions about them.  You read.  You play.  You test.  Details matter to you.  You understand that quality in equals quality out.  You’re reading this ad because you are intrigued.  Yeah you have seen ’boutique’ guitars ….names and faces…..maybe you’ve tried one or owned a few…you pay a huge premium for 1-piece bodies….brazilian rosewood….nitro finishes…hand craftsmanship….light weight.   But what you’re missing is THE WOOD damn you!…the freaking WOOD quality.

There are different GRADES OF WOOD AND THE BIG GUYS CAN’T WASTE THEIR TIME FINDING ODD PIECES TO MAKE 1 GUITAR.

Now…if ONLY there was a wood guy.  If ONLY that wood guy was the GO TO guy for the past 50 years.  If ONLY that go-to wood guy kept aside some CHOICE pieces and CREATED A HAND MADE INSTRUMENT then SOLD IT…..how does that not get every hair on your body (or the few that are left) standing up!?

Larry Wysocki is THE wood guy.  His instruments have recovered, air dried, exotic woods.  This guitar has a 1`-piece 60+ Year Old Air Dried piece of Swamp Ash.  The neck is 150+ year old SINKER MAPLE (D’pergo guitars with this are $16k).  Board is the DARKEST Brazilian we have seen……100+m Year-Old PItch Black!

Pickups?  Custom wound ROLPHs.  Weight?  6lb-11oz.  So think about all the pieces of wood you have to scour through to combine them into something that then comes out with a world class low weight too.  See why this is such a desirable piece?

Ok so now that you get it….read the 3rd picture for a complete Spec & Condition Sheet.  We are the ONLY Authorized Dealer for Wysocki Guitars….damn proud of it.  We get the very few a year that don’t go directly to a celeb (Larry only creates guitars on order for celebs now).

Taku SAKASHTA 17″ Archtop – Loaded with BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD!

Taku SAKASHTA 17″ Archtop – Loaded with BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD!

Taku Sakashta masterpiece!  An impossibly rare custom 17″ Archtop from a 1-owner collection.  Amazing story accompanies this piece.  The owner inherited a Brazilian Rosewood bed; Taku was SO interested in the wood that he took in the entire bed in partial exchange for this piece.  SO this very guitar has genuine FURNITURE GRADE BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD !  Taku used the rest of the wood in other pieces.  The top is German Spruce.

ALL the dark woods shown are the Furniture Grade Brazilian Rosewood.  Board, Tailpiece, Binding, Bridge, Neck Heal, Headstock overlays and pickguard.

The final product weighs just 5lb-10oz.  IT literally took 4.5 years to complete showing the perfectionist work ethic Taku embodied.

The tailpiece is totally floating and it is custom created to match the curvature of the top & allow for a strap.

Even the pot for the single volume control is a super expensive one from a medical device company.  No expense was spared here.  Nothing but the finest in details, woods and of course craftsmanship.

Custom form fit Calton Case is included of course.

The only consideration of note is the owner had Taku inlay his name at the 12th fret. Most will elect to keep this feature as a sign of provenance; however, it is an easy task for your luthier (at your expsense and risk) to swap this out for the inlay of your choice.

This piece has no fretwear and no repairs.  Only the very slightest faint ‘contact’ hairline swirls on the back (NO not buckle rash…just touch swirls from super light contact).

Whether you are a player, artist or collector THIS is an investment grade piece for your collection.  You many never have this opportunity to acquire another.  Total 1-off.

People often aske me what I believe to be the most collectible and investment worthy modern pieces…..Sakashta Guitars are always my answer.

The solidbodies which are more readily available have sold in the mid-and upper-$40k’s.  We have placed several.  The Jam Master Custom was a higher and more costly offering.  There were only A COUPLE EVER PRODUCED.  The condition of this piece is near mint with just the lightest of ‘touch’.  Don’t let this pass you by and forever wonder when it will resurface.
