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.
Mike Inez Rocks Massive Ampeg Rig for N. American Tour
Alice in Chains has already begun their North American tour and Ampeg endorser/bassist extraordinaire Mike Inez has brought along one of the most massive Ampeg bass rigs that we have ever seen.
This monster rig combines two SVT-810E’s and four custom 18’s, fed by four SVT-2PRO’s:
Mike actually keeps the entire rig live during each performance, allowing him to feel his bass in a manner that is illegal in more than a few states. Check out the Alice in Chains site for upcoming tour dates and you just might be able to feel this rig for yourself.
Tony Levin and Stick Men Rock NAMM with the Micro-VR
One of the highlights of the 2010 Winter NAMM show was undoubtedly the performances of Tony Levin with the Stick Men in Ampeg's demo room. Two separate performances, each unique in both vibe and flow, packed the house with fans from all walks of life. As an Ampeg endorser, Tony Levin is no stranger to the full line of Ampeg gear. When he approached us about his Ampeg rig for the Stick Men project, we were surprised to hear that he wanted to play a Micro-VR stack.
Well, maybe surprised isn't the best word. After all, we know that the Micro-VR and companion SVT-210AV stack can deliver the goods, it's just that big names like Tony Levin generally prefer to showcase at least one full Ampeg SVT rig. But, we knew that the Micro was awesome, so we hooked Tony (and his Chapman Stick partner-in-crime, Michael Bernier) up with a full Micro rig and the rest is bass history.
Both Tony and Michael play a Chapman stick. Seriously, check it out. This gives them both the ability to play a ridiculously full-range of notes, from growling bass to shredding highs. They switch roles countless times for the performance and both choose to use a Blackheart rig to complement the lows provided by the Micro.
Be sure to watch the video below (via Mark Dalzell from Vimeo) to get a feel for what the Stick Men are all about, then follow up on their MySpace page. And, of course, if you dig the tone, check out the Micro-VR and companion SVT-210AV. You can rock it in your living room, but it's loud enough to get above the drums in a rehearsal setting. Then, if you are playing a smaller room or a place with a PA, you can be sure that your Micro will stand up.
We would like to proudly introduce our brand-new PRO NEO Series bass enclosures. Specifically designed to handle the power of modern, high-output bass heads like the new SVT-7PRO, PRO NEO enclosures can handle just about anything you throw at them. Plus, innovative design features like neodymium magnets and near NASA-level cabinet design mean PRO NEO cabs are lighter than just about anything out there. Did we mention that they sound great? Like, hit it hard and blow yourself into the audience great?

The Winning Circle - Ampeg's 60th Anniversary Photo Contest
Ampeg
today announces the winners of the online photo submission giveaway contest
celebrating 60 years of creating the most exceptional bass gear available. This
first-ever Ampeg photo contest offered fans a chance to show off their rig and
possibly win some cool new Ampeg gear in the process.
“We
received an overwhelming amount of stories from bassists all over the world and
thank all who entered,” said Shaunna Thompson, Ampeg’s media and PR manager.
“In fact, we had so many entries that we decided to pick one more winner
bringing the total number of winners to six.”
Ampeg endorser Jon Reshard recently sat in with drummer, Jon Wilkes to jam out a track from Reshard's latest self-titled album. What transpired is more than inspirational for anyone who has ever picked up a guitar or sat behind the skins.
Here's the video. Good luck keeping still while listening.
Ampeg Artists play all over this great blue sphere. Some of them make their way onto popular television programs such as The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Each time we see an Ampeg Artist doing their thing on national television, we feel well....a little proud. So, we nearly burst with pride when The Tonight Show featured Ampeg Artists for three nights in a row. Check 'em all out and see if you can spot the Ampeg.
Since the original story, Dr. K has been able to get some real use out of his new Ampeg BA600/115. He sent us a nice letter and a pic of him with his new rig.
"...my new Ampeg is really getting a workout this summer. My SVT-4PRO is gettin' jealous," remarked Dr. K.
Bass Gear magazine was launched in early
2008, but has since become the number one publication for bass. Specifically,
the magazine focuses on gear and just gear. There are rarely interviews, and
when they happen, they are firmly centered around gear. The success of Bass
Gear comes from the depth
of experience that the writers impart. Ampeg often makes the pages, but
never in the comprehensive manner you will see in the new issue (due out late
October), which is dedicated to everything Ampeg.

you really couldn't ask for anything more.
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.
Mike Inez Rocks Massive Ampeg Rig for N. American Tour
Alice in Chains has already begun their North American tour and Ampeg endorser/bassist extraordinaire Mike Inez has brought along one of the most massive Ampeg bass rigs that we have ever seen.
This monster rig combines two SVT-810E’s and four custom 18’s, fed by four SVT-2PRO’s:
Mike actually keeps the entire rig live during each performance, allowing him to feel his bass in a manner that is illegal in more than a few states. Check out the Alice in Chains site for upcoming tour dates and you just might be able to feel this rig for yourself.
Tony Levin and Stick Men Rock NAMM with the Micro-VR
One of the highlights of the 2010 Winter NAMM show was undoubtedly the performances of Tony Levin with the Stick Men in Ampeg's demo room. Two separate performances, each unique in both vibe and flow, packed the house with fans from all walks of life. As an Ampeg endorser, Tony Levin is no stranger to the full line of Ampeg gear. When he approached us about his Ampeg rig for the Stick Men project, we were surprised to hear that he wanted to play a Micro-VR stack.
Well, maybe surprised isn't the best word. After all, we know that the Micro-VR and companion SVT-210AV stack can deliver the goods, it's just that big names like Tony Levin generally prefer to showcase at least one full Ampeg SVT rig. But, we knew that the Micro was awesome, so we hooked Tony (and his Chapman Stick partner-in-crime, Michael Bernier) up with a full Micro rig and the rest is bass history.
Both Tony and Michael play a Chapman stick. Seriously, check it out. This gives them both the ability to play a ridiculously full-range of notes, from growling bass to shredding highs. They switch roles countless times for the performance and both choose to use a Blackheart rig to complement the lows provided by the Micro.
Be sure to watch the video below (via Mark Dalzell from Vimeo) to get a feel for what the Stick Men are all about, then follow up on their MySpace page. And, of course, if you dig the tone, check out the Micro-VR and companion SVT-210AV. You can rock it in your living room, but it's loud enough to get above the drums in a rehearsal setting. Then, if you are playing a smaller room or a place with a PA, you can be sure that your Micro will stand up.
We would like to proudly introduce our brand-new PRO NEO Series bass enclosures. Specifically designed to handle the power of modern, high-output bass heads like the new SVT-7PRO, PRO NEO enclosures can handle just about anything you throw at them. Plus, innovative design features like neodymium magnets and near NASA-level cabinet design mean PRO NEO cabs are lighter than just about anything out there. Did we mention that they sound great? Like, hit it hard and blow yourself into the audience great?
Ampeg is extremely proud and excited to announce the launch of a limited edition line of SVT gear that's designed and assembled in the U.S.A. Offering
