Pair Of SWR Big Bens For Sale

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm reposting this so I could add pictures. I still have two Pre-Fender SWR Big Ben speakers cabinets available. These are both loaded with Bag End 18" drivers and sound incredible. I would prefer a local sale, but am willing to ship if the buyer is willing to cover the costs which will be pretty steep. Asking $250/each or best offer, Paypal accepted. PM me for more details.

Are these 4 Ohms, or 8? A Big Ben migh Boost my Vampyre Dark Lord through the Heavens!

What part of MI are you in? I travel to Metro-D once in a while. I've shipped Big Cabs before. It's not as bad as you think. ($75 for a Peavey 1820)

when I played one of these in a local store, I was so impressed with their speed and clear upper mids, I changed my tb screen name. No, not to Big Ben, silly people.

I had expected a tubby deep sub-bass kind of tone, and was totally surprised. Bag End drivers are where it's at. Clear speaking bass tone.

Someone buy these and come gig them in CT so I can hear what a stack sounds like!

Probably around $150, that was what I quoted someone from Wisconsin once. Sadly, it's not going to be much less anywhere else.

However, my band is making a trip to SW PA in November, shoot me a PM if you're really interested.
