My preamps are US made, Mesa, Ashly, TubeWorks...
Amps are US made, Straight Ahead and Stewart
One Fender head made in China.
One cab US made with speaker from Kentucky, one Chinese Eden cab, one Chinese Fender cab.
Basses include 1 US made Peavey, one Japanese Fender, one Korean Guild, an Indonesian Yamaha, and a for sale ESP LTD made in Vietnam.

don’t get started on the six strings and their amps.

I've had a Mesa/Boogie for a long time, but it conked out and I wanted to buy a cheap backup...you know, for when I have to ship the amp back to Mesa and wait around for 3-4 weeks. So I start looking at 200-300 watt amps heads, preferably with an FX loop or power amp in.

Ampeg Micro VT: Made in China
Trace ELF: Made in China
Peavey: Made in China
GK MB200: have been made in China, can't tell about the new ones

Anybody have any insight on newer amps made anywhere but China?

GK amps are made in California. They brought production back here around 2020.
