Ampeg/China

Talkbass is not a forum for you to express your xenophobic views.

Here are some pix... these guys rocked hard and were spewing some political sh*t...my brother in-law, a pro musician in Beijing, was surprised they were getting away with it. If you notice the equipment in the photos, clearly having ampeg available will improve things!:

.......And I'M Xenophobic? Again, don't confuse FACTS with hyperbole....

And, you're right. At least for me, this topic has gone well beyond the limits that it should have.

Cheers!!

You have mentioned this in two posts. Clearly you have no clue about China.

I have lived in China. China is many things but it is not communist.

As far as selling quality "western" musical instruments and amplifiers there, it is a hard slog. I know pro musicians that paid >$5k for Fender custom shop strats. They really like the single builder ones and can name all the builders.

I have surveyed the music retail scene in Beijing and while you can find some good pro stuff, it is few and far between. People usually have friends go to Hong Kong and buy things and bring them back.

There is a lot of cash under mattresses there but the average rocker uses low end or chinese brand stuff.

Here are some pix I took while there:

China is a communist country. And you are free to leave here and live there at any time. Could the majority of there people do the same?

Why are Christian missionaries still murdered there each year each year for preaching against the state and their population controls?

As to the OP grays to Ampeg and hopefully your business will do well there.

Ugh...Arguing with fools, proves there are two. I am done here.
