[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]

Hart-ka
Bear-injure
Am-peg
i-ba-nez
a-gyoo-lar
gale-ee-en kroo-ger
rick-in-bach-er

[QUOTE=gronk]True. You got me there. I'm just going off how Jay Leno and the guys on Pimp My Ride pronounce it :lol:[/QUOTE]
hehheh -- its actually quite close between what we both put, but im insane about cars, like when ppl say *Mit-sih-bish-y* instead of *Mit-sih-bee-shee* or *porsh* instead of porsh-eh* (cars is my other hobby(..?), i guess besides bass) :thumb:

Heh, I say "Mit-sa-bish-ee." So does every other Aussie :smoke:

And I pronounce it "Porsh", although I'm 99% sure it is "porsh-a". Just how I say it I guess.

I read something forever ago about behringer. and its supposed to be like "bring her" as in bring the equipment.
just saying bring with two syllables like ba-ring.

I'm amazed at how many people say the e in hartke, I never did :(
i've always read it as hark-teh only more composed, don't think ive ever had to say it outloud though.

I say jaco jay-co because its just a nicer name then jacko.

Aguilar seems to be the most varying one.

I always say it agg-will-ar

I doubt I've ever said it out loud, but it's always been Ag-wee-lar in my head.
It's probably for the best that I don't say it aloud.

When he was a kid his parents would spell it "Jacko" the spelling was later changed to Jaco, as for the pronounciation of it, i always said jaco like taco

I thought it was french-ish like jshaco... maybe were all wrong and he just never took the time to correct anyone 'cuz he was always in the groove of things...

Firstly: why are you bumping a thread that has been dead for over a year?
Secondly: they called him Jocko because he loved baseball, and there was some baseball player named Jocko. Once he became known in the music world, a french guy who had heard his name but never seen it spelled it the French way in a letter, spelling it Jaco. Once he got the lertter he started spelling it that way.

for the record:

Ibanez: ee-bah-nez
Aguilar: ah-gee-lar ["gee" not "jee," and most definitely not "gwee""]

Ta-kuh-mean-uh.

Not an amp brand, but one of the most annoying brand names I've ever heard working in a music store.

I believe Hartke has a silent T... no evidence to back this up though...


Hartke = Harr Kee

Also

Behringer = Bey-ring-err

Silent t, what are you chatting

Hartke = Heart Key, no?

I say "Hart-kee" but I pretty much never talk about Hartke anyway.

I say Behringer "Beh-rin-jer".

I pronounce Aguilar "ag-yill-arr".

I pronounce Ibanez "eye-buh-nez".

Australia "straya".

beh ring err
agg will arr
eye buh nezz
hart kuh

Actually, the name Ibanez comes from a Spanish luthier of last name Ibañez, although the company is Japanese. So the pronunciation is closer to:

e bah nezz (ñezz).

Well at least that's how I hear it get pronounced down here. Maybe we are all just illiterate in Melbourne.

Behringer is pronounced "hey, this DI sucks".

The Mighty Hoewailen
 

I think this one is weird, my buddy got one the other day, it's called a hoewailen and its round... he said they were coming out with a head too, which made me wonder if they were going to call it a "hoe wailen head", because that would be wicked.
