Description

The first official Dumble product, built as early as 1966, variations of the Dumbleland and Winterland bass amplifier ranged from 150 to 300 watts.

The listed tube complement is two 7025 high-mu twin triodes, a 5751 high-mu twin triode, a 12AU7, a 12BH7, and a 6550A, however these are amp specific specs, and often varied depending on the player the amp was built for.

According to some sources, the Dumbleland Special was effectively replaced by the Steel String Singer, which is an evolution of the same circuit.
