Looks as if Transom Capital has moved the brand on to Yamaha. I feel that this could be a good move for Ampeg.

Oh man, good things are going to happen to the brand. Yamaha knows how to do it right, everything is top notch.

It seems both Ampeg and Line 6 were sold to Yamaha.

After years (decades?) of running the company into the ground, ruining the products and Ampeg's reputation, LOUD finally sells the company off..............



It may take a while but I might consider an Ampeg product, once again.

Two parallel threads!

Again, I hope it's true.

I have sold everything musical Yamaha makes. Their quality control is THE BEST.

This is fantastic news, if true.

 

[Jwood]

Interesting news for sure.

So is their customer service.

Looks yo be true. Crazy. I'm excited to see what changes they make.

They used to make a lot of instrument stuff in Taiwan.

Yamaha (like Korg and Roland and Ibanez) is a company that “gets it” when it comes to music products and musicians.

I’m chuffed.

I owned two Yamaha basses that were MIT; fine basses the both of them were.

Line 6 helix + ampeg with yamaha...
Looking foward to this for us bass players in the near future...

I play Yamaha RBXJM2 John Myung Signature 2 basses and they are awesome.

Interesting news!

"This is fantastic news, if true."

The link in the first post leads directly to Ampeg's site where they say "We are pleased to announce that we are now a part of the Yamaha Guitar Group family."

There's no need for doubt or disbelief in this case.

Ampaha or Yamapeg?

 

[Johno Dunn]

It’s true, my drummer works for them and just texted me!

 

[tombowlus]

Ampaha or Yamapeg?

Yampeg!

 

[TjMetalhead]

What kind of changes do you think there will be? I really hope some good stuff comes out in the future.

 

[Linnin]

This is good news! I had thought that Behringer would scoop up the greasy remains, and put out even worse made in China product. With Yamaha there is some hope.

 

[Spectrum]

Sounds like good news.

What would be really cool is an MIJ SVT. I can dream, right?
