Double Bass NEW SWR DB combo
- Thread starter peterpalmieri
- Start date
I'm pretty interested in this thing too. I have a WM 2X10C, which i love for BG. Even though SWR has info on the combo on their website, I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere. Is it still in production, or wildly unpopular, or what? Anybody have any info or hunches as to where to buy/check out one of these if they're available?
A local shop just started carrying SWR--I can't see the value in it. It seems to me like they are coasting on the technology of twenty years ago.
I tried the workingman's 2x10 and it sounded very good. But the Markbass CMD 210 is twice the watts and half the weight; it lists a speaker sensitivity of 101 db. (SWR doesn't give that figure). They cost about the same.
The LA 12 is 60 watts into a single 12, and weighs 39 lbs. The Markbass 121 CMD, which I use regularly, lists at 400 watts and weighs ten lbs less.
Hard to see why I'd buy the SWR, unless I absolutely loved the sound. Lots of people do--it's not to my taste, but that's purely subjective. It just seems like SWR, since it was bought by Fender, is coasting
