Alright people, I hear too many people going around playing brands they can't even pronounce, so I decided to make a thread where people write phonetically how the brand name is pronounced....

brands such as

hartke
behringer
ampeg
ibanez
aguilar
Gallien-Krueger
rickenbacker
and any others u can think of

Hart - key

Am - peg :confused: How else is that pronounced?

Bear-rin-ger.

[QUOTE=the101er]Hart - key[/QUOTE]


I believe this is correct.

and is it ampej or ampeg (pronounciation, not spelling)

its amp-peg

like as in AMPlifier and PEG leg

yea cause the name apeg originated when the owner created a amplifier that had something to do with the peg of a upright bass lol....

And I used to say bay-ringer but now I say more like bear-n-jer

hartke - hart-key
behringer - bare-in-jur
ampeg - am-peg
ibanez - eye-ban-ez
aguilar - ag-il-ar
Gallien-Krueger - gall-lee-en-krooger
rickenbacker - rick-en-backer

[QUOTE=rhynocerous]
rickenbacker - rick-en-backer[/QUOTE]


rick-in-bacher

no?

I always thought hartke was pronounced hartk ithanks for putting me right there what about
Mesa - Me-sir
Carlsbro - Carls-bro or Carls-bura?
Basson - Bays-son
Hiwatt- High-Watt
Ashdown - Ashdown (if your english) Ashdoon (if your scottish :P)
Trace Elliot - Trayss-L- E-OT

Does any body know how to pronounce 'Schecter'?

[QUOTE=Roo_bass]Does any body know how to pronounce 'Schecter'?[/QUOTE]
Shect-Er is how I pronounce it

mesa mess-a

Bear-ringe-er

Hartke = Fab-you-luss.

Seriously.

[QUOTE=TheMachineRagesOn]Hartke = Fab-you-luss.

Seriously.[/QUOTE]


/disagree

Behringer = bear-inj-er
Gallien-Kreuger = galleon (like in Harry Potter) Kreuger (like Freddy Kreuger)
Rickenbacker = rick-en-bock-er (bock like...rhyming with c.ock)
Schecter = sheck-ter

wtf? it's clearly pronounced rick - n - back (as in "my back") er

really? that sounds funny...i thought it was like knickerbocker....

hartke = Hart-kuh

behringer = Beh-ring-er

ibanez = I-ban-ez (although I believe the spanish style pronunciation would be Ib-aan-ez)

aguilar = Ag-wil-ar

Gallien-Krueger = Gah-lee-en Kroo-ger

yeah, i really think it's rick-in-bach-er

[QUOTE=Matthew2250]hartke = Hart-kuh

behringer = Beh-ring-er[/QUOTE]


hart-kuh?


*bear-in-ger

no?

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle]/disagree[/QUOTE]
If i remember right you use a behringer head, hartke pwnz you!!!!!

Anyway its rick-en-back-ur what everyone round here calls it.

EBS- eee-bee-es

Rickenbacker is pronounced "Rick-en-bach (like the composer)-er"

I don't see how you possibly came up with that, unless you have a thick Maine accent.

Mesa = "mess-uh". I guess it could also be "may-suh". I'd think either one is acceptable.

I was thinking that too. Its like when I say "car", it comes out "cah", and when i say "potato", it comes out "potater".
