    Why cut up Joe for attaining his collection? We should all be so lucky. He’s a working musician and deserves every last piece he buys. We get to see and hear some fantastic instruments and amps. No justification required. Thanks Joe👍

    Joe is the Jay Lenno of guitar gear. He has done an awesome job preserving history. In 1989, I moved back to the Utica area and I remember stopping by Big Apple Music hearing about this kid that was incredible. Years later and Joe has just gotten better and better.

    Joe has been a committed musician his entire life and has earned everything he's got while performing a style of music that hasn't ever been mainstream. Never sold out once. Either respect that or piss off and leave the man alone.
  • My respect for Joe just keeps growing. His playing has a certain unique kind of fire he plays with. Hard to define, but he kinda stings the notes and just always plays something amazing.
  • @vcr210
    Norm said it so well. Set goals and then work hard to achieve them. Universal across cultures.
  • What an amp! Lowell was so underrated as far as guitarists go slide or no slide. He was the greatest slide player ever. Listening to Little Feat in the recordings was so clean and mixed perfectly. When they played live, the same thing happened. If Lowell was using that amp live playing "Mercenary Territory" on the live "Waiting For Columbus" record, that solo was amazing what a sound he got. I like the fact that Joe B is buying the cool signature vintage gear, he plays it and takes care of it rather than being in the glass case of a rich owner bragging about it and never playing it. Joe was right, put Little Feat in the Hall of Fame.
  • Yes, I saw Traffic and Little Feat in Houston Texas in 1974. Best concert I’ve ever seen in my life and I’ve been to hundreds.
  • @dewey7330
    Say what you will of Mr Bonamassa. But I for one love what he does with this gear. If it wasn’t for him we would NEVER be able to see this great gear. Thank you Joe!!
  • You have to admire Joe. He's living the dream, collecting all this epic gear... How? Working really really hard.
  • @beachcomber4141
    You can REALLY hear that crystal clear note articulation that separated Lowell from the other slide players in that amp. There is just a crystal clear ever sustaining sound Lowell got and I'll be damned, I can hear it in that amp. Amazing.

    Was invited to Winterland gig by Lowell. Arrived backstage and the band was sitting around a big circular table with 5 1.75liter tequila bottles. They told us "We aren't playing until you help us finish these" Well, we did and he played great. My hangover was about 2 days long.

    only time I stopped a gig .I was on stage and heard Lowell George died announced it and stopped gig.glad Joe has that amp.
  • @jeffsquires6620
    That Amp sounds incredible. I think anyone on the planet would love to own it. Glad to be able to hear it.
  • @brownsfan7753
    I would love to hear Joe play slide more often!!! Love the amp!!!!
  • @angusorvid8840
    Joe mentions that each Dumble was taylor made for a specific player and their guitar, and he's right. The Lowell George is definitely tuned to make strats sound amazing.
  • I can’t wait to hear Little Feat use this amp! Such a great idea!🤩🎨🍀🌷🎨🤩
  • @VonBluesman
    I heard that amp in New Orleans years ago several times and it sounds fantastic. I hope every artist gets the equipment they desire, inspiration is priceless, you could write the next hit song. 👍😎✌️
