Joe is a seasoned bassist known for his innovative chord progressions and crushing riffage. It is safe to say that he takes full advatage of his instruments tonal capabilities and knows how to select the right rig for the job. So when he got a chance to play Ampeg's new SVT-8PRO along with the new PRO NEO Series PN-410HLF and PN-115HLF, we took his opinion seriously. Here's what he had to say:
"I'm loving the sound of this new SVT-8PRO; it's got the power that I need to play with Intronaut while still giving me the crystal clear sonics and accurate reproduction of tone I deman. I want my bass to sound like itself, not overly colored by electronics and it sings loud and clear through this rig. And the PRO NEO cabs are awesome! They're loud as hell and super rugged but shockingly light...my guitarists are green with envy"
While we were at the show (at the Hawthorne Theatre in Portland, OR) we recorded a couple of tracks on video. The first (Elegy) is an unreleased track from their upcoming album, "Valley of Smoke", due out in October of this year. The second tune (The Literal Black Cloud) features some really sweet chord progressions that any bass player should appreciate.

Ampeg's new Heritage line is designed and assembled in the U.S.A., right down the street from Ampeg headquarters in Woodinville, WA. Besides being built out of the best possible components, the new Heritage line will undergo rigorous testing to make sure it looks and sounds like a piece of Ampeg history should.
We are going to document some of the key milestones of this historic build on our blog.
Next up in production is the Heritage SVT-CL. You are all probably very familiar with our long-lasting line of all-tube bass heads. If not, you are missing out. The original SVT was introduced in 1969 and pretty much changed the game of bass amplification forever. Today, the vast majority of national touring acts use Ampeg for their bass rig.
Over the past few years we heard from countless pro and not-yet-pro bassists who really wanted to get their hands on a US-made SVT rig. Well, we are happy to provide. Our new Heritage SVT-CL delivers 300 watts of Ampeg goodness. It's a perfect match for the Heritage SVT-810E or the Heritage SVT-410HLF, depending on how you roll.
Here are a bunch of great pics from our production facility down the road. You can click here to learn more about the Heritage Series. They are extremely limited, so be sure to get in touch with an authorized Ampeg dealer right away so they can try to get an order in!
Ampeg Micro-VR on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus
Ampeg is a big supporter of the John Lennon Education Tour Bus, which is now on tour with The Black Eyed Peas. EQ Magazine worked with the JLETB to create this awesome video, which provides an inside look into the gear that makes the mobile studio so amazing. Bassist's lucky enough to record on the bus use Ampeg's Micro-VR and SVT-210AV.
Ampeg fans are the best. We get countless emails, snail mails and voice mails from Ampeg fans across the globe. You would think that means a lot of complaints, gripes and groans...but rarely is that the case. Most fans just want to thank us for making the best bass amps ever or just want to chat about their rig. Well, now's your chance. Ampeg now has tons of social media outlets for your to use. Post a picture or video of your rig on Facebook then tweet it to your followers.
Bob Glaub has stood alongside some of the music industry's most enduring legends. He's played with everyone, from John Lennon to Dusty Springfield. Right now, Bob is providing the low end for the Crosby, Stills and Nash tour. Click here to check out their upcoming tour dates. On stage, Bob uses two SVT-VR heads with two SVT-410HLF cabinets that have been decked out to match his VRs.
He was all smiles. And who could blame him? The Micro-VR stack delivers 200 watts of pure Ampeg tone and is obviously portable.
Mr. Ampeg himself, Dino Monoxelos, recently posted a really great overview of the Micro-VR. You can hear for yourself how the direct out sounds vs. the mic'd cab. It is really a great demo, so be sure to check it out below.
Joe is a seasoned bassist known for his innovative chord progressions and crushing riffage. It is safe to say that he takes full advatage of his instruments tonal capabilities and knows how to select the right rig for the job. So when he got a chance to play Ampeg's new SVT-8PRO along with the new PRO NEO Series PN-410HLF and PN-115HLF, we took his opinion seriously. Here's what he had to say:
"I'm loving the sound of this new SVT-8PRO; it's got the power that I need to play with Intronaut while still giving me the crystal clear sonics and accurate reproduction of tone I deman. I want my bass to sound like itself, not overly colored by electronics and it sings loud and clear through this rig. And the PRO NEO cabs are awesome! They're loud as hell and super rugged but shockingly light...my guitarists are green with envy"
While we were at the show (at the Hawthorne Theatre in Portland, OR) we recorded a couple of tracks on video. The first (Elegy) is an unreleased track from their upcoming album, "Valley of Smoke", due out in October of this year. The second tune (The Literal Black Cloud) features some really sweet chord progressions that any bass player should appreciate.
