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...?

I overdrive the amp with a boss bass overdrive very occasionally for small amounts of time.

There is a 30 day return policy. It DID in fact crap out the first time in this time period. They gave me the option of a refund or a repair. The repair was free and I liked the sound so I opted to repair it. By the time it crapped the second time I was 6 days past the 30 day period. I asked for...

Same cab both places. The matching PF-210he

They sent me to Strait Music to get it fixed.

And I should note that the band I am playing in is not a loud band. Just moderate volume wise. The amp wasn't pushed much at all.

I wouldn't describe what I do as hard gigging. I just have been playing locally for 50-100 people.

I guess I could. But at this point I have no desire to pour money into this thing. I would rather take it out back and shoot it.

I definitely don't know, but in all instances with me it worked fine at home. So maybe the gig volume level? It' always about 3-4 songs in. It starts cutting in and out. Worsens until completely useless.

They are cool about it for sure. I was the one who wasn't. I felt really bad, but they didn't give me any grief at all.

I'll likely continue with Ampeg. But something older. Not class D. American made.

I'm not furious. It's an amp. Not a person. Nothing to be mad about. I just don't trust Class D new Ampeg at my live gigs now.

Nah, not uncomfortable. I choose not to say things like that, but that's me.

Strait Music in Austin, TX. My local Ampeg warranty repair center...

Like I said earlier, this amp had every part replaced by the time it died the third time. Essentially it is a new amp.

My PF500 never worked long enough to see if the cab was any good.

I'm not brave enough to touch Ampeg again period. Except for my vintage SVT. The new stuff is GARBAGE! Sounds good for the very little amount of time it actually works. So what brand has a similar sound that isn't made in China by a 7 year old?

still available

Well, I bought a PF500 used from Guitar Center. It went out 3 out of 3 shows. Taken back for repair every time. The last time I got it back literally EVERYTHING had been replaced. Essentially a new amp minus the casing. And guess what? It died. It's going in the trash. I will never buy a newer...

I bought a used PF-500/210HE combo very recently from Guitar Center. First show, it started cutting in and out. I just picked it up from repair yesterday and went straight to a gig. It happened again but worse! The repair center is an authorized Ampeg shop. They replaced the circuit board. I'm...

It might. Sounds like a lot of trouble to sell a special amp for an insignificant gain.

It was in outter space once. And Bootsy Collins played on it at Michael Jackson's funeral.

But mine is the BIG one! With sparkley cloth! LOLZ

No one likes me purty picture?

Thanks everybody for their input!!!!!!!! While I'm not too worried about max profits I still don't really want to sell it for what an SVT-CL goes for. Maybe I'll recover the whole thing in chimp skin and set up a shrine. Or I could use the 4x12 cabinet as a belt buckle. Or I'll just fill the...
