What artists endorse SWR?

Sign in to disble this ad
Marcus Miller, Stanley Clarke, and P-Nut are the only guy I know that endorse the SWR gear. I searched google and didn't find much.

I know Bryan Bellar was using there gear for a long time but I have heard he is using GK now.

I've seen Stanley on some Ampeg ads in Bass Player lately, and when I've seen him (twice) he was on Ampeg rigs.

I need to look into this, the Spellbinder bass/ amp was his baby wasn't it? for doubling...

I have also seen him on Ampeg ads as well as EBS pedals

Bryan Beller is endorsing SWR, I think he works there. Every time I see an SWR amp on stage at a gig, I'm very happy.

He had SWR make'em custom 6x10's(Goliath Senior) w/o tweeters. But I do believe he uses an older Ampeg head, along with Ashown, etc.
