 "Slo" Maggard, bass player for Unearth, recently upgraded his Ampeg rig. Our AR staff hand-delivered the new rig to "Slo" during their last show in the Seattle area.
Slo's Ampeg rig consists of:
Their recent tour just ended, but looks like you might be able to catch them soon, as they plan to book some July dates with the band, For the Fallen Dreams.
Thanks for your support, Slo. Looking good with those Ampegs.
Pro Guitar Shop has been posting some killer pedal demos on YouTube for the past couple of years. Their no-nonsense approach to gear reviews has garnered a tremendous amount of respect from both the pro audio and guitar playing communities. But they also review all kinds of other guitar-related gear, including a recent review for the Ampeg J-20 Guitar Combo.
So, without further ado...Pro Guitar Shops review of the Ampeg J-20. Enjoy:
 Fleetwood Mac has been busy this year, playing sold out shows across North America. There are still a few dates, so be sure to get tickets soon if you are in one of the lucky cities to host Fleetwood Mac. Here are the remaining dates:
 June 17th, 2009 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun Arena June 23rd, 2009 - Calgary, AB - Pengrowth Saddledome June 24th, 2009 - Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place
The Ampeg Artist Relations team recently got to sit in on a practice session down in the LA area. Aside from witnessing one of the most intimate and real performances any Fleetwood Mac fan is likely to experience, they also had a chance to chat with Ampeg endorser John McVie. He is more than happy with his Ampeg rig, which features a full complement of custom Ampeg cabinets and two SVT-4PROs. They were even able to snap some photos during the practice session.
Ampeg would like to congratulate John, and the entire band, on a successful tour.
 We recently received a press kit from a group called " Dr. K's Motown Revue." This, in itself, is a rather commonplace sort of occurrence here at Ampeg headquarters. Just ask our Artist Relation guy, as he is responsible for looking through the stacks and stacks of press kits we receive. When he got to Dr. K's kit, it became quite clear that Dr. K was a true-blue Ampeg fan.
Dr. K (aka Paul Korman) bought an Ampeg B-15 in 1964. You can see him in action in the picture on the right. The rest of the band were obviously into Ampeg also.
That was then, this was now. Dr. K now tours with "Dr. K's Motown Revue." He sent a DVD and I have to say that his band is one of the most authentic and certainly entertaining Motown-styled groups touring today.
 He has put together an amazing array of seasoned musicians and singers that he's either played with or wanted to play with over the course of his years. Their appeal, in large part, is attributable to the perfect blend of the Motown-era costumes worn and the outstanding group of singers who compliment this latter day "Funk Bros"* type band of musicians. Each singer is quite capable of fronting any band as a soloist and the combination of singers is more than enough to deliver authentically the vocal sound of the Motown roster of artists.
These days, Dr. K gigs with his Ampeg SVT-4PRO and cabs, but "The Round Sound" remains. Be sure to check out their website to get a listing of upcoming shows.
Here's a clip from the video Dr. K sent us...pretty amazing, right?
 William K. Santana is 12 years old. He lives in Chico, CA with his mother, father and little sister. Oh yeah, he also owns it when he plays bass. We caught up with William during the 2009 NAMM show when he plugged into our SVT-VR and rocked the house. All we could say was "wow."
 William started playing bass at age nine, joining his first band, "Children with Chainsaws." Now, William plays with "X-Factor," and they are playing around California. His background in Jazz gives him a breadth of style that will certainly benefit him throughout his playing career.
He sent us this video, showing off his skills and his new Ampeg BA300/115 combo amp
Thanks for stopping by to see us at NAMM and good luck in the future...not that you need it...just keep playing!
