[QUOTE=PainKiller8191]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[/QUOTE]

I say:

Hart-key
Beh (as in the Be in Betty) - Ringer
Am-peg
Ee-ba-nez
A-gwih-lar
Ga-lee-un Crew-ger
Rick-un-backer

[QUOTE=neatobassman]Not quite an amp but I always second guess myself on Kubiki.[/QUOTE]

Mesa: Mee Sah Boo Gee/Buh gee

Rickenbacker is prounounced like J.S. Bach the composer.
Wouldnt GK be like galleon (like HP....as previously stated haha) kroy-gur?


And now the million dollar question:

pro-nown-see-ay-shun or pro-nun-see-ay-shun?











or pro-nun-sai-a-tee-ahn (pronunciation)

this one

mu-zic-man

i love this thread, i bet everyone is at home overpronunciating ev-ry-thing

[QUOTE=TheBassStylee]ee-ba-nez ..?

No i meant ee-ba-nez. I'm guessing the words origins are spanish, and the spanish pronounciation of I is ee.

Caught...
Lay-Knee


erm...

DJDeath you're right, Ibanez were a Spanish company so it's most likely

I always pronounced warwick war-wick but a few people i know pronounce it
wor-ick

I always thought the way i said it was right, warwick is a german company, and the lovely germans tend to strongly pronunciate syllables. But then i saw an interview with ryan martine and he pronounced it wor-ick so now im wondering which way is right?

:lol: Got me.

[QUOTE=DJDeath]No i meant ee-ba-nez. I'm guessing the words origins are spanish, and the spanish pronounciation of I is ee.[/QUOTE]
Well if it is Spanish it would probably be more like ee-ba-nes, right? I don't think hard "z"s are common in Spanish, are they?

z=th
