"I asked how he justified spending so much money on an amp...":

"While Urban has restocked his guitar collection quite considerably, he purchased only a handful of amps—a Dumble Overdrive Special and a Trainwreck—to replace those damaged in the flood. He says that his friend John Mayer facilitated that decision.

"When I played the Crossroads Festival with John, who owns 14 or so Dumbles, I asked how he justified spending so much money on an amp, Urban says. "He asked, 'How much is your most expensive guitar?' I told him. He said, 'Why wouldn’t you spend a similar amount of money on the amp you’re going to plug all of your expensive guitars into?' When he put it that way, I realized he was right. I decided that instead of replacing all of my amps, I'd get just a few good ones. I talked him into selling me one of his Dumbles, and I started looking for a Trainwreck, which Brad Paisley is always going on about. I found out about one called Nancy and bought it straight away. You can hear it all over the new album."

Oh wow. I was under the impression Dumble built Keith that amplifier. But that makes sense now. Since John owns the largest collection of Dumbles; that makes perfect sense.

BTW - Those two were amazing on tour together; I saw them at the Gorge Ampitheater in 2010.

Telecaster=country music standard issue. I just had a laugh when I saw them all in a row like that. I might have to play mine for a while today.

Many of the country artists and hired guns out there in country land really are good players and capable of playing many different styles of music. I was surprised!!. Last I spoke with Brad he said he prefers Rockets..fwiw

Really thought it made the mids on some of those other amps sound anemic.....
