Just recently acquired this rig after a 3 year hiatus. It's an SWR 750x and Goliath Senior 610 cab. I absolutely love this rig!

SWEET !!

I have found that the SWR 610 is one of the best sounding cabs I've ever owned (besides my Henry 8x8 which is hands down the best sounding) . I use to own two of them and sold them both to downsize, but I miss the idea of owning one.

I still have the SWR canvas cover in storage for my next one ...

Right now my SWR Super Redhead 210 combo is all I need, but -

How do you guys like the 750X ? I have contemplated getting another Mesa M6 or an SWR 750X when I have the money someday.

Just bought an Amplite. First SWR product in a long time. Loved the Electric Blue I used to have.

If the amplite works out for me, I may buy another.

Hey everyone! I had a 750 & Goliath sr 6x10 but recently sold it

I went with ampeg stuff, and as it is good I miss my swr stuff.

Does anyone have any experience as to how the Grand Prix preamp compares to the 750 bass amp?

I'm thinking of going back to my old setup, but maybe with an 8x10 cab

Count Bassie · #**426** 02-17-2013, 08:40 PM

I miss my Henry the 8x8, but my logistical life discourages larger, heavier cabs. Sorry about it, but I shall live, and play the bass! Trying to score a G-II now...

Am I the only one playing through a Workingman 15?

No. Someone else is also. Somewhere... and I suppose they're probably relatively happy.

There is a lot more horsepower out there, but, as little as I play out, it works great for me, and hard to justify more.

People forget that it's not about horsepower, it's about making music!

Thanks for that! We do what we can...

I just bought an SWR Black Beauty today and I'm hooked! Fantastic amp! I've been using Trace Elliot cabs for years. I was using a Trace 1048H (4x10 with horn) and 1818 (1x18) together, the red stripe series. I'm definitely in love with SWR now! -Luke

Plenty of used gear out there. And with my SM400 and Mini Mo preamp, I think I'll manage in Head-Land for a good while.

I really want a Big Ben to put under my Henry Jr. 4x8 and Goliath 4x10 cabs. I just hope I can find one locally in good shape, shipping on evilBay for those is brutal!

Yes we do. Line that baby out and you're doing plenty!

I'm also a recent convert from Trace Elliot. Happy enough now!

How are you liking your new rig. I just recently spent some time dialing in the 750x at rehearsal. The head puts out a lot of low lows, and so I was getting a bit buried in the mix when the full band was cranked up. I dialed back the low eq to about 10 o'clock and boosted the mids at 200 Hz and voila, punch and power for days! The 750x can really slam that cab.

I wasn't sure I'd use the overdrive too much, bit just a splash really gave my tone that nice tubey breakup I used to really dig with my svt.

All in all, very happy so far!

My 1999 Super Redhead. Played 2 gigs so far with it. Spent time today really setting the tone according to the manual.

Love it so far. I do have a question though for other Redhead owners. Do you use the D.I. on the amp or run a separate D.I.?

I am torn as to which way to go with mine.

I'm using a Workingman's 10 and am quite happy.

The DI is very nice, no need to run a separate unit.

It's insanely heavy.

I wonder if big conventional solid-state amps are effectively obsolete.

The 750X doesn't seem to get much love here these days.

I don't use mine because I'm not gigging since the accident and I don't want to wrestle it out of storage. I got a brand new 550X and 350X when they were closed out, and the 350X gets the use around here into a Goliath II or Goliath III, just because it's manageable to move around.
