Bugera

[zplapplap]

He's been around longer than both of us.

[Rikochet]

really?, were talking about tennis player right?

[zplapplap]

Yeah. I guess he doesn't come around much. Otherwise, he might have avoided that trap.

So true

Seriously, I've played a couple and thought they were great for the money... they DID sound a little cheap though. I liked the clean channel.

OK, no one has provided any facts, just...."it's junk". So here are some real facts, from real credible resourses, not someone who works in a mom and pop music store that doesn't carry them, thus let's bash what we don't sell and perhaps they will by my MG series because they are slammin"

What do you say about these positive reviews on both the tone and the excellent quality? You think Bugera paid off all these different people and magazines?

i'm not really being rude, i'm just pointing out the truth.

[tennisplayer]

Calling someone's amp "junk" is rude. You are right, should be a rule.

Yes.

As for the "mom and pop music store" comment...

On the bench, 6/7/09

Do you think mom and pop could do stuff like that?


Maybe you should have a look around once you pull your head out of your ass. I know nothing about Bugera amps, I've never seen one or even heard of them until this thread, and would much rather trust BCRGreg's assessment of them than something that was published in a magazine, "so it must be true".

Not me, I'd rather trust world recognized sources.

Bad feedback is still feedback.

I know you are but what am I.



Sorry, just took offence to all the bashing, without real facts.

[Luke122]

Well, I guess the conclusion here is this:

Magazines gave/give the amp/s very positive reviews but there are concerns of quality/longevity from MLP members.

Everyone happy with that?

The poster doesnt own one,he is asking about one.So the general consensus is you will get o.k-good tones from it but it will end up in the repair shop or the dumpster.Thats just a fact due to the bad history of the company.

No, I think those magazines gave away the advertising space.

Christ, man, GIVE UP.

I seriously doubt they were all payed off. Bugera does very little advertising, so your conspirecy theory doesn't work. Use the Lord's name in vein much? Geez

Tennisplayer, Bugera is owned by Berhinger. Berhinger is one of the major players in commercial, professional, and home audio, and they have an enormous advertising budget. You have heard from two unrelated sources (myself and BCRGreg) that magazines will print glowing reviews for companies that pay enough for the advertising. This is not hearsay or suspicion; it is first hand experience. I have done it.

You are doing yourself a disservice by being dismissive of this. Rather, you should learn from this little pearl of wisdom and be far more suspicious of the reviews you read in "major publications".

I always go by "You get what you pay for".
Hasn't failed me yet.

I kind of wondered how $ entered into magazines as the economy is in the tank and the internet is growing when guitar player magazine did a pedal shootout and the shootout began with pictures of all different pedals covering 2 pages and digitech pedals were plastered front and center and to the left ,right,etc.Well I dont have to say how they talked about them.Lets just say GP mag wants us all to buy 3 digitech pedals NOW.

[BCRGreg]

So how long have you worked for Behringer, tennisplayer?

I knew that. I was twisting it around, to show who was also rude.

Sorry, I'm in the medical profession. Just play guitars for fun. I'm a Mesa fan btw and old Marshalls. I owned the Bugera 333XL for a year and sold it. Just wanted to try it out and see how it was. I liked it.

Tell that to the back of guitar world magazine..

[bildozr]

I think we can agree that as cheap as they come you can't make a top of the line product for that price. You have to cut corners.
