 Bad Religion is currently on tour in North America. Our Artist Relations dude recently went out to visit them on their Seattle stop with Four Year Strong and Rise Against. Jay recently swapped out his older SVT head for an all-new, US-made Heritage SVT-CL. We tried to convince him that a new 810 cab was in order, but he strongly refused. Take a look at the pic...that thing is beat up. But that's exactly how Jay likes it. Seems that Jay has a habit of spitting during shows. During the early years, that meant that band mates, audience members and security were often the unintentional targets. The complaints got so bad that, about ten years ago, he was forced to start spitting on the only thing on stage that was his...his SVT stack! A little disturbing and gross...maybe. But better the stack than you in the front row, that's for sure. So, for good or for bad, Jay will keep his old 810. When we asked him about the new Heritage SVT-CL head, he said, "...other than being the very best Ampeg SVT I have ever played, it also seems to have taller rubber feet {smiles}." Maybe he is aiming to spit in between the head and the cab. Who knows? Visit Bad Religion's website for upcoming shows, music and more. Visit the Ampeg site to learn more about the Heritage SVT line of bass heads and cabs.
 Long time Ampeg endorser, Hutch Hutchinson, more than played his part at the recent Kokua for Japan benefit show in Hawaii. The benefit has raised over $1.6 million dollars for the American Red Cross, directly helping the victims of the Japan earthquake and tsunami crisis.
Hutch and Mick Fleetwood held down the rhythm section for headliner, Willie Nelson, alongside Pat Simmons and Mike McDonald...not a bad lineup.
A fan was able to catch some of the performance on video, you can check that out here. As you can see from the video, it was a fairly intimate show and fans were loving the interactions with their favorite artists. Other performers included Jack Johnson, ukulele superstar, Jake Shimabukuro and ton of local Hawaii favorites.
 Before you take the stage, you go to great lengths to make sure everything is just right. Your guitar tone is no exception. The new all-tube Ampeg GVT guitar amps deliver the kind of great-sounding, flexible tone that working guitarists demand. With a variety of tones from clean to crunch, it's one less thing you need to worry about. Hell, you might even have time for another drink before your set. Straight up guitar tone - Ampeg GVT.
GVT guitar heads, cabs and combos are debuting now at Muskimesse 2011. If you are at the show, be sure to visit Ampeg in Halle 4.1, Stand E31. Plug into a GVT now and get an exclusive sneak peek.
Until GVT becomes available later this summer, be sure to keep up with Ampeg on Facebook. We will have even more contests, more info and more tone samples of our exciting new guitar amp line.
