These are quite rare. This is a Pre Fender SWR Mo' Bass Head It is a great head...I have just found that I am really not an effects guy. So, I am going back to the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). This one comes with both the larger (Mo Control) full featured foot controller and the smaller foot controller. It is all in mint condition except one marks where I marked for the frequencies that i liked the best. . All of the knobs are good and in tact. I am also including a 4 Gator space rack bag that is quite nice.

I have seen these going for over $1K still. I am selling this one for $869.00 including shipping to the Cont. US with the 2 controllers, 4U rack bag, manual, all cables etc.

More info on the head and controller:

Info on Pedal:

Mo' Control is a pedalboard-style footswitch that lets the Mo' Bass user switch between various effects. There are individual on/off controls for each effect, including Drive, SubWave, Bassynth, Mo' EQ, Chorus, and Dual Mode. Four preset banks allow the user to store any combination of Mo' Bass effects and switch back and forth between those presets, as well as add or subtract any effect from the currently selected preset. Mo' Control's bypass switch lets the user bypass the effects entirely.

SWR MoBass Description and Specs:

Introducing the SWR Mo’ Bass, the first bass head with on-board studio quality analog effects. The SWR Mo’ Bass was designed for players who, in addition to demanding a high quality, professional bass amp, need to express themselves with a variety of different sounds. It’s all there, classic analog synth sounds, a massive subwave generator, gorgeous chorus, overdrive that can be as subtle as the fuzzy edge of a vintage tube amp or as nasty as a “chains on 11.” Shape your sound further with two separate EQ sections and a high-end Limiter and you’ve touched on some of what the Mo’ Bass can do.
