| Gibson rocking as pricey American icon in guitar-loving Japan
A visitor to the Tokyo Guitar Show tries out a classic Gibson as staff help tune an amplifier at a local Gibson shop's booth in Tokyo on Saturday, June 24, 2006. Gibson makes a range of guitars solely for the Japanese market, including rocker Tak Matsumoto's signature Les Paul in special guitar shades like canary yellow and sunburst. Although Gibson is making marketing pushes elsewhere where demand is expected to grow, such as China, Japan is still Gibson's biggest market outside the United States and twice as large as its biggest European market, Great Britain.

Guytron Adds New GT20 Combo Guitar Amp to Its Family
Troy, MI, August 22, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- Guytron is pleased to announce the introduction of its new Guytron GT20 Amplifier System. This is not your grandfather's 20 watter, this is a totally new approach. The Guytron GT20 is a feature rich guitar amplifier, based upon the Guytron GT100’s proven, popular, and patented pre-amp technology. Along with some more ground breaking technology to boot. Designed to be a serious musician’s tool, it is perfectly at home anywhere from the Studio, to the big Stage, in the most stringent of stage environments. Naturally, just like its bigger brother, the Guytron GT 100 F/V, it delivers the true "Feel" and "Vibe", of a "cranked amp" so you can really have "Fun" with the GT20 in pretty much any setting, and at any volume from 0 to 20 watts. According to Guytron’s founder and Chief Designer, Guy Hedrick, "If you’re a person who ‘Plays the Amp’ like an instrument, and you're not just playing your guitar through an amp, then chances are you will love the new GT20 from Guytron! If that’s your thing, this amp will do wheelies!" The GT20 features: · Classic Vintage Styling with Versatile Modern Features · Includes "Highly Acclaimed" GT 100 F/V Channel Switching Pre-Amp with Gain, Tone, and Level Controls for Each Channel · Introducing Post Phase Master Volume "Cut" · Introducing all L.E.D.
Bass Guitar Amplifiers Review
History: Bass player for 32 years. Playing locally though I've been in a couple of signed bands and toured the U.S. Pop alternative is what I'm listening to primarily now.
Purchase: Bought the BX4500H at Guitar Center for $250 on credit card. I was in search of the ever elusive, "Magic Tone"
What I Like About The Behringer BX4500H: Can't beat the price or the tone, now that Behringer solved the noise problems on these units. I tried a couple units on opposite ends of town and, NOISE. Got a much newer unit and, perfect!!
What I Do NOT Like About The Behringer BX4500H: Right now I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this unit. I've only had the unit for about 2 hours. I plan to use it tonight on a gig.
Quality: Totally compact and solid.
