£140 sounds good...watch those customs sods though.

Aye, I think Sounds Great were the first ones to get it (Just round from my office) in the UK so banged the price right up, bit crap of them really but DV247 have them for 169 apparently, still unsure though, need a demo.......

I don't know if they're still sold at the shows or not. I'm guessing they have a certain amount as this is limited to 1000 for the year.

FedX delivers late in the day and on Saturdays so be patient, it'll get to ya!

The paperwork says this one is #331 of 1000 but I don't see a serial number or anything of that nature on the unit itself.

Re: I NOW HAVE THE BONAMASSA FUZZ FACE IN MY HANDS!!!!!!

Spider,
I bought one at the Reading, PA show Wednesday night.  It was the only one they had for sale at the show and it was signed by Joe which of course cost a couple of extra bucks.  The case candy includes four items: brochure for Dunlop strings, brochure for Dunlop DC-Brick, warranty card that includes the serial number and a Dunlop Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face Brochure where on page 3 states that the Fuzz Face is "No. 0026 of 1000."  There is no serial number anywhere on the outside of the Fuzz Face.

Joe signed the Fuzz Face under the volume knob.

Oh my goodness, this effect kicks arse!  The sweet spot for this effect is max for volume and 3/4 ( 1 or 2 o'clock) max for fuzz.  I played through a Fender 59 Bassman Reissue and it sounds really awesome.  The sound is much smoother than other Fuzz Faces that I have played and the compression really punches the sound.

Now I have to figure out whether to seal this up and hold it as a collectable and just buy another one.  My concern is that once it starts to get darker will the autograph be difficult to see or recognize.  Any recommendations?

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

If you want a collectible, then make it one and don't worry about the signature. Sealed up and boxed it will remain intact. Or use the piss out of it and don't worry about the signature. I'm sure Joe will gladly re-sign it for you!

Re: I NOW HAVE THE BONAMASSA FUZZ FACE IN MY HANDS!!!!!!

Gotta love the JB FF - played my first gig with it last night at a 50th Birthday bash - it nailed Rev Willy G tones to a T... I thought the Fuchs was going to implode at one point! Awesome...

This don't look like no express way to me...
