Whatever happened to the BZ prototype amps?

Hi Billy,
Did any production deal or anything ever entuate from the three prototype amps that were shown in this thread? http://gretschpages.com/forum/billy-zooms-jet-set/a-vist-to-zoom-studios-and-a-lis...
I have a dire and urgent need for that nifty cowboy amp that was demoed

There is a slight possibility, if we're gonna behave, that some of us, maybe perhaps, could have such amp, build by master Zoom. The more prospects, the more chance it will happen in medium near future. You may put your name on the secret list if you want to...

...I want one too.
Make mine a 15"er!

I dig it as well, that demo clip is such a tease. "Billy what a tease" It's a slogan worthy of a least a T-shirt.

I asked him about making one a while back and he said he might be willing to do a small run if enough of us were on board. I think the number he mentioned was 20?

I want the Little Blue Wonder, I knew when I saw the pictures it was the asmp of my dreams, then Proteus demoed it.....

I think BZ actually wanted to do a Blue series first.

I talked to him about it too.
Start saving your pennies.

Saving my pennies for what? The blue one or the cowboy amp?
-
Geoff Vane
From what I remember, master Z would like to issue the Blue Wonders first and then, only if the planets line up correctly, you might be able to sign in on a Cowboy batch. But my memory is bad and being a European I'm not to be trusted of course.

I asked about the BZ cowboy amp, and he said he could build me one, but the cost was out of my range. Has a lot to do with materials and such. Not a cheap amp to make.
That blue one sounds killer.

I could live with a Cowboy amp that has the right guts but a less flashy look. But it's verboten to manipulate a master plan; I got whip cracked slightly when I tried.

Anybody see this one?

Has anybody checked out Vintage 47 amps, he makes a tremotone which might be close to the org. Gretsch amp. His prices are very fair for the amp quality. ( I don't have one but it's on my short list.)

Thanks for the heads-up Greg. These are beautiful and the prices are almost unbelievable.

Has anyone managed to buy an amp from Billy? I'm really interested in one of those little 4 watt Killer amps we saw a while ago.

I can build one of anything for you, but it's expensive to do it that way. The Little Kahuna is the only thing I have in "production", which is still only 20 at a time. If you want to pay $300/watt let me know.
-
Geoff Vane
That's not bad for a true BZ ampschen!
Next to the $300/watt building blocks, are there features to choose from? Like speaker or tone controls etc.etc.
This could go sell faster and more than you'd expect...
-
JoseValentino
Would economies of scale factor in to this? It sounds quite a few people would be on-board for the 4W monster.

I'll take a 50 watter at that price. J/K

Hmm... Would ordering 20 be enough to put the 4 watt in "production"? If so would that significantly lower the price?

Also interested in this....
