Sign in to disble this ad
The pic doesn't do the SWR justice, the thing is frickin huge. It's a Workingman 15, 160w by itself, 200 /w extension, I just brought it home 6 hours ago. I paid $640, then tax was frickin $46. It's ok...Im' a little disappointed...I only got it because it was either that or pay a crapload for s/h for an ampeg (nobody carried combos on this island). It's 'thing' is clarity + highs (GREAT for slap...though I dont slap...lol), not beefy lows....I could always trade/sell it later on, I'm having fun with it so far. The smaller amp on top is my 30 watt Johnson amp I've played through for 3 years. I only included it in the pic because I thought the size difference of the amps is hilarious 
Uh...bass is either a Fusion V or a SB, dunno. I'm gonna get new EMG pups for it soon. Pedals are Morley PWB, dunlop 105q, zoom ii and snarling dogs bawl buster. |

| | Guest | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: USA, Kailua, Oahu | | Yeah, in the store it had a Workingman 12 on top, then some other crap around it, so it didn't look that big. Then when the guy pulled it out..I was like....uhhhhh... |

The feeling of being in the poor house, after buying it, is not as much fun. But who cares. There just numbers. |

Don't know about that but I played them both and liked mine better. I found the yorkville louder. |

I personally agree with Coutts, but that's, like all other ___ vs. ___ is a very subjective topic of conversation.

It is their midline stuff, and IMHO, it is more low end than midline. It is decent for the price, but is not in the same league as their top of the line stuff.
