emjazz,
that appears to be the traveler 151p
1x15 rear reflex,37lbs,18x18x18...

Yep, thats the one.
Hopefully it will replace my 1210 soon.
Still got to test it out t a few gigs but im sure it will be fine. ive never needed the full power of my SA450 in to my 4ohms 1210 so even though this will only get 300watts max i can see it being fine for my gigs wihout PA suport. If it works out ill get another one once i have sold the 1210 and then ill can leve one with each band and just take the amp to gigs.
 
I recently tried paring my 400+ with these SWR Bass Monitor 12(s)
and am very happy with how they work together.

I had tried using these cabs with a SWR Bass 350/750 in the past,
and it they just didn't do much for me.

These little cabs are (each) rated at 250w @8ohm and always seemed
a little shy on the lows, with the other amps I tried before.

With the 400+ they're loud, full sounding, pant leg flappin monsters of doom...:eek:

A truly unique stack! I've always had an eye out for those SWR monitors-they have Bag End Drivers if I'm not mistaken?

I'm curious what you attribute the enhanced bass response to. It's not all power 'cause you had run through a 750-is it tubes vs. SS? Or just Mesa mojo?

I checked my SWR spec sheet for the Bass Monitor 12.
Your right, it shows this cab to have a "Cast frame Bag End 12""
350w @ 8 0hm.

Frequency Response.
98 db slp @ 1W1M (-3dB @ 60hz and 18KHz)

Dimensions.
16"W x 25"H x 17.75D

33lbs.

Could be the "mojo" thing.

I still wouldn't classify this rig as having strong low bass response,
but it does have real strong and full sounding low-mids.

Could be that I've just gotten used to a rolled off bass response,
using my Berg NV610.
Or the fact that all my bass cabs-(7), just seem to seem to sound
better (to me) with my Mesa amp.

One thing I'm sure of, is these small cabs, let me push my amp
much harder...:) (compared to my bigger cabs).
