Ampeg

Ampeg is an American instrument amplifier manufacturer. Although the company specializes in the production of electric bass guitar amplification, Ampeg manufactures electric guitar and orchestral stand-up bass amplifiers as well. Ampeg first existed under the name "Michaels-Hull Electronic Labs", as it comprised a partnership between Everette Hull, an accomplished pianist and bassist, and Stanley Michaels. The original mission of the company was to produce a new microphone pickup that Hull designed. Intended to fit onto the end of an upright bass, the pickup was dubbed the "Amplified Peg" or "Ampeg" for short. After gaining sole proprietorship of the company, Hull changed the company?s name to "Ampeg Bassamp Company".
