finally got THAT TONE

[truckin88]

Well I found the tone I have been looking for and it is going to sound ridiculous. I have played everything from full tube, to solid state, from behringer to Aguilar to Ampeg. Bought and sold, and I get the tone from.......SWR Workingman's Combo 1x15, the tone is unbelievable, punch, with nice mids, but the lows are kicken. I got it at a local music store hardly played, with the plastic still on the logo for $350, which I felt was fair. I can't believe it. Now I am gonna sell all my stacks but 1.

Congratulations! and you found it while you are still a young man! (avatar)

Those WM's combos really are a great bang for the buck. Congrats and hope you keep digging it!

I've tried on several occasions and can't get anything close to what I consider my tone from a WM15... which is why there are multitudes of bass gear.

Congratulations bro, enjoy!!!

Congratulations first off, second........wait until you to a gig. I have really loved some small combo's, inlcuding that one. Things sound alot thinner in at a gig and you'll be wanting one of your stacks. Don't sell anything just yet. Thats all Im saying.

yeah keeping my GBE400 and my 2x12, but everything else will be sold. This is a newer model WM15. I might get some kind of all tube in the future, right now this has got that thing, dunno why, just does

 

[kringle77]

Thats very cool. I love fresh new gear!!

You'll have to let us know after you gig with it a time or two.

I like the idea of a single 15" in a combo, especially for that price.

great to hear. i used an swr wm 15 combo for several years with great results, just had to mvoe up to my current rig due to volume limitations. the wm15 was a workhorse...and the people i sold it to are still using and abusing it with it showing no signs of slowing down.

Damn i havent found a tone yet. Any recommendations for a good cab and stack for a great tone for jazz, funk and wooten stuff??

 

[rayzak]

Sweet.
My Ampeg B-100R gives me the same joy. Just has "that" tone.

Congrats! Without a doubt one of the best feelings is finding "your" tone!!
