New Ampeg Micro-VR in Beautiful Blue!

[TNCreature]

I'm going to get one.
Just the head, I don't need any more speaker cabs. But it is very tempting.

Beautiful! Is it much more expensive than black?

New Ampeg instruments are just like new Fender instruments.
Bold new colors...

The white and red ones they did last year certainly were

Sweetwater has the black stack at 759.99 and the blue at 799.99

Sweetwater has the black stack at 759.99 and the blue at 799.99

if you get a head of one color and cab of another is it a bruise?

Thank you. If you like the blue the $40 premium seems fair.

 

[sleddogn]

They have made these in red and white too. Wouldn't a red, white and blue setup be cool?

 

[Leonid Nidis]

A local shop had them in black,red,white.
Similar price for all colors.
Very nice sounding amps and they look good.

I think a matching cab or two is a must here

Only if it is Black and Blue

I like the shade of blue here (sort of a royal blue or something close to that) but I have fond wistful memories of a friend's old Ampeg R12r guitar combo with navy blue diamond tolex. Some of the newer Ampeg cabs have black diamond, but I'd pay a premium for navy blue if they brought it back.

I wish they'd offer these in the traditional Ampeg covering, that sorta navy blue checkerboard they've used on a lot of things before.

Same. When I first saw the email subject title, I got all excited about the idea of a “blue diamond” micro stack. I would’ve bought that. This blue? Not so much

Agreed, but this still looks pretty good.

I wonder whether the Rocket Bass tolex is harder to work with, or just too expensive?

Yessir, that's it. While they're at it, change the faceplate to chrome. That head on top of two 210 matching bins, my new fave itty bitty SVT practice amp.

Are there any companies from which can one special order colored tolex?

I occasionally see a MESA cab of some red/orange color.

I'm getting kinda tired of all black, and I'd be tempted to buy a new rig just to have something different.

Where is the matching 212 Cab ? Yes, i wish Yamapeg make it , make change !
