Gibson SG Std. 1972 plus Dumble ODS 100 1 x 12 EV cab

[Jackwee182]

soo does this guitar come out of tune quick cuz i herd the bridge aint so cool

[Blompcube]

@Jackwee182 i have one with a bigsby trem on it but the same bridge, it stays in tune fine, even though everyone will tell you tuning stability is a major issue with the bigsby equipped versions. people like to exaggerate the bad things they heard about the "norlin era" gibsons like this, as if the problems applied to all guitars for the era, which is simply untrue.

[666snoppy]

dude, i get so horny of the tone thatyou get

[108377]

Exactly the same as mine, I love that bridge : )

[dorianpsycho13]

that neck looks really really thin

[lonestar7703]

I have the same exact guitar. It has an ebony fretboard. I got it at a good deal ten years ago. anybody know what it's worth today?

[BonnardsBluesBand]

Greg.. Do you think there is too much difference between a dumble and a two rock amp?

Thank you

[rydner]

i have the exact same guitar.

[photopicker]

A good clean sound will clear the aisles in a proper context. Distortion came as a result of loosing (and experimenting) that great clean sound. Distortion works for a lot of music but there is nothing like a great guitarist with a clean sound.

[Davesintexas]

You have clean nails. The wife show up Hey, is it true in Germany you can pick these classics up easier. Or cheaper?

[MjXllcommando]

great playing but your tone sucks ass, you should look into Crate amps, i hear Gorilla amps are very good as well.

[Blompcube]

@MjXllcommando i lol'd :P

[GBPaddling]

Sounds sublime!

[raytheprinter]

@GregsGuitars I think it sounds very good!Great tone

[TheRealErob]

you have a dumble too? you sir, are a lucky man

[ReyYbarra]

God i hate the sound of sg's

[RexSimplex]

please dont kill me but the 70s sgs look cheap ... i never liked the block inlays, and there is no binding ... it sounds good but looks ugly, to me of course

[mikolene97]

That's a great for AC/DC set up. No effects pedals and a overdrive blues amp! Not to mention th SG

[pevspaintballer]

how much is it?

[cstrombeck]

How sure are you that this is a 72'? I am asking because I own an identical SG that I am almost positive dates to 1971. What it the serial number on this guitar? My SG is 128400 Also it came with Grover tuners from the factory which I hear is fairly rare as they are usually re-branded as Gibson tuners.

[austinskinner]

Brass nut changes everything. Love it!

[Evoken13]

even if dumble took monopoly money i'd STILL have to buy 4 games to have enough to pay for mine!!!!

[cobraman115]

made, my bad

[cobraman115]

thinnest neck gibson ever mad : )

[zepled112]

is alexander dumble dead or alive

[SweetUpDown40]

alive

[zepled112]

tell that fat ass I want an amp

[SweetUpDown40]

good luck with that - it's near impossible to get one off him... unless you're famous or loaded

[Evoken13]

he can't.....he's trapped in a crystal lattice

[mikeayotte182]

@Evoken13 HAHAHA oh dumble jokes

[VasilijmadeinUSRR]

beautiful guitar,cool sound 5/5:)

[zepled112]

im taking the dumble ok

[GregsGuitars]

No problem

[evilvon]

@jeba189 much character gets lost with gain, its good to hear a vintage guitar clean before any gain as a reference to its warmth from aging... they are meant for many other styles than rock :P. im sure it would sound great with a bit of wah or analog delay over some reggae rhythm.

[jeba189]

@evilvon yes but an old slightly overdriven marshall would be a dream:)

[edtheward]

pretty sure thats a 73 sg with 72 pots. 72's had the front route and les paul pickguard.

[cobraman115]

hes playin a 72 standard. not all 72s had floating pickgaurds...that was a different model...the deluxe.

[treatb09]

oh shit, i just realized, is dumble the amps that were hand made with gold wiring or somethin like that, my paps told me bout them that they were the most saught after amps

[AY4966]

Well, i dont know about the gold wiring (they are built extremely well though), but along with Trainwreck Amps, Dumbles are some of the most saught after in the world, The reason for this is that Dumbles and Trainwrecks are so few in number (about 300 D's, about over 100 T's), but have the best tone in the world. Both Alexander (Howard) Dumble and Ken Fischer are/were(RIP Ken) some of the best amp builders/designers in the world.

[treatb09]

they really do sound so sweet, and smooth, course this guy helps and espicially with the guitars, a true test would be to get a first act from walmart, and if that sounds as good, then hell ya there the best

[lonestar225]

Velvety smooth tone...nice

[Hobbis]

sooooo warm

[bscfo1]

Greg - beautiful tone and playing, love the string rakes and your walkdown to the 9th chord! Sweet move, can I borrow it? LOL! You could really make my day by doing this same demo with a Strat using all the pickups. Please? I've never heard a Dumble on the bridge pickup of a Strat. Always 2nd and 4th.

[wisesatyr72]

This Sg is so awseome looking, that big saddle bidge piece looks so fucking cool

[cobraman115]

its called a harmonica bridge...

[pwarren1010]

Play in any bands Greg?

[matthewgoodnight92]

what is the trick to get that tone?

[GregsGuitars]

I was very lucky when I saw the amp offered at "buy it now" on the bay

[matthewgoodnight92]

i mean as far as settings.

i've never been able to get that really bluesy tone.

[GregsGuitars]

not too much gain (gain on 11) - no bright switch on

[baseballnolie34]

How's the bridge on that SG? I've heard a lot of bad things about its tuning stability - any truth in that?

[GregsGuitars]

the bridge is ok!

[LordOfThisWorld74]

SG standard with no neck binding? Weird

[dave9296]

Unless this guitar is chestnut brown color (tough to tell from the video), then I have the exact same guitar.

This is the ONLY other 70's SG Standard I have ever seen without neck binding (like mine). Even Gibson wasn't exactly sure when it was made. All I know is the date on my pots is 1971.

[ikky85]

look at that beauty...

[xXshred4lifeXx]

a buddy of mine has the same SG, and I have 2 say its personally the best gibson i have EVER played...i want one badly

[RythmTR]

i got the same bridge on my lespaul copy, the inlay of the neck and the bridge of your SG are really from the 70's models but the usual standard models have a full size pickguard.

awesome guitars!

[guitarmaniac179]

Do you have the double-neck Gibson? Just Curious

[DukeDe]

I don't get it, sorry. Great playing, nice guitar (though more a fan of Fenders myself)...I know the amp is supposed to be perhaps the BEST ever, but to my ears it sounds a little bland. Like you'd hear on old 70s records of washed out rockers...it's not distinctive, I suppose. Please don't take offense. I'm not compaing my tone to yours, but for the money these go for, I'd rather have a Fender Twin or something...

[GregsGuitars]

Hi, this is only one clip, recorded at home with a simple mikeat Bedroom-Volume. Check the files of my cd - this is different. But I like this sg sound too

[DukeDe]

I suppose the bedroom volume will make lots of difference..can't really hear it working properly. I know Mayer uses a Dumble clone live and his tone is pretty damn good so maybe it just needs to be cranked to work well (as with most tube amps...)

Also, the cheap mic will make lots of difference. I have listened to many of your clips though, and I still don't think it has anything special. It is a little smooth (I don't mean clean) for my liking...I don't know. I probably need to hear it live.

[paulinathediva]

do you like this better or the les paul studio? in your opinion what is better for classic rock / metal and emo songs? :D

[GregsGuitars]

I like them both. But for classic rock / metal and emo songs the studio with hmbucking PUs would be better. The P-90 are great for Blues and Jazz

[GregsGuitars]

I like them both. But for classic rock / metal and emo songs the studio with hmbucking PUs would be better. The SG is great for Blues and trad. Rock (Stones, AC/DC etc)

[hanseatus]

Tone and feeling at his best,superbe...

[justpeechy01]

TONE!!!!

[chooseyourblues]

Best amp tone I have ever heard. On all the videos not just this one. Sounds fatter than the fender you used in the other videos.

5 Stars!!!

[GregsGuitars]

Thanks man, yes, this Dumble is unbelieveable! But with this series of videos I started to use a good Mikrophone placed direct in front of the speaker instead of the cheap camara-mike wich was used on the Fender-Amp-Videos

[chooseyourblues]

Well, whatever it is it is awesome.

[bluesderek]

Welches Mikro nimmst Du denn gerne für's Amp-Miking live und im Studio?

[GregsGuitars]

ein Shure SM-58

[mattchurchill]

Now that's what I call TONE!!!!
