SWR Natural Blonde Acoustic Bass Combo – Immaculate Home-Studio Condition + Original Footswitch (Scarce!)
This is a genuine scarce bird — SWR’s first amplifier designed specifically for acoustic and upright bass players.
SWR stated: “Although several models of SWR amplifiers have been a mainstay with acoustic bassists over the years, the Natural Blonde is our first amplifier designed specifically for you!”
Key quote from another owner: “Allows two inputs, one as XLR if you wish and even has a rear speaker to help with feedback. Designed for Upright Bass players to get as natural and loud of a tone as possible, without strictly relying on a pickup. GREAT portable amp for round town gigs or for permanent setup in studio.”
This one has lived its life in a smoke-free home studio / recording setup with an adult player-collector. Used very sparingly and kept in impeccable condition — the Cream White Tolex is beautiful with no visible wear.
Two Independent Channels & the Three dB DialsEach channel has its own dedicated three dB dials — active Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ. Because they’re completely independent, you can customize two different instruments or sources at the same time (pickup on one channel, mic/XLR on the other) and sculpt precise, musical tones without compromise. The active circuitry keeps everything clean and low-noise.
It also includes the trademark SWR Aural Enhancer™ and footswitchable Bass Intensifier™, plus the rear-firing 5" driver that helps with natural tone and feedback control.
I love that this also has a TILT-UP Feature utilizing the spring loaded bottom handle which also makes carrying this another way a great option, one which I prefer - SIdeways and Chest high. Lightens the carry when lifting or not using the Built-In Rolling Luggage Rack Handle Carrier the can detach on the rear of the Combo...
ANOTHER RARE Feature that almost never comes with these Amps (when they randomly appear).
Specs:
Included: Amp + Original Factory footswitch with extra-long cable + power cord.
This is one of the harder SWR combos to find, especially complete and in this kind of condition.
Home-studio / recording only, non-smoker, adult collector.
Asking $950 (or best reasonable offer). Prefer local pickup in OKC area because of the weight and size, but I can arrange careful shipping if needed (budget $185–200 for proper packing).
PM with questions. Thanks for looking - See. my other listings for sale.
