Is your white logo model US made?

What did the last of the Classic Series heads look like? Was it the blue/red? Or were there others?

Either way, he has that preference. The only difference is he has the capital to demand it. I would be willing to bet this preference came long before the success. Most bandleaders would like to think they have the potential to be high profile - true or not. They have a vision of how they want...

I'm just glad my bandmates didn't pants me!

To some it isn't a matter of being "retro." Maybe more of a matter of being "classic." They aren't necessarily synonymous. There are a reason why the classics surpass being retro and remain relevant no matter the time period they find themselves in. The tux, a sear sucker suit, a stratocaster...

I don't think they need an update. That just means you don't like them. Plenty of folks love them the way they are.

I've played a 4003S almost exclusively for almost 20 years. I prefer the sound and feel. I could see where the ones with binding would hurt your arm. It always made me wonder why that was the most popular model. I also think they are pretty easy to work on and set up. That's just me. I have a...

For the record, what I said was " I will never buy a newer Ampeg model again." I will still use Ampeg and probably exclusively. It's what I have used 90 percent of the time for 20 years. I'm an Ampeg guy. I just don't feel like being the R&D rat for their Class D failures. I'll go tube or...

I once heard a story similar about Lenny Kravitz. Maybe it was from this board, I dunno. Basically if you showed up with anything other than a Fender passive four string he dismissed you. Personally, I get it. I am a designer by trade, and aesthetics are important to many people (including...

God! That looks amazing!

They weren't fabricated! All but one was related! Then the other was a pal. Hardly fabricated.

I'm likely going with an older B-100R. I have ALWAYS ended up borrowing/using one from time to time and just loving the sound. But have always been worried about the low wattage. In the end, my shows arent huge and there is always PA support. If it ends up running out of juice Ill keep it and...

I worship Brian Wilson. I would like it off if anything.

Guitar Center made this claim BTW

It was an 8ohm load, which should be easier on the amp I think...?
