Have a Goliath Jr. III since 2000 (pre Fender) and will never sell it, sounds great with my old GK1001RB and GKmb500. Had a Son of Bertha too, but sold it after buying an Epifani T310 of EBay. Never regreted selling it...

Does anyone else really like the "clunk" sound of the spring loaded handles when you let go of them?
YES!!!!

Love my Goliath Senior. But I want a Mega Goliath!
The Megoliath is a beast. I was lucky enough to snatch mine up for $600 at GC. The first time I gigged with it was probably one of my proudest days as a bass player.
You'll love it, sweet piece of amp! Good price too
I hope so. 170 bucks for a pre-Fender SWR head based off of their original model? Hell to the yes. If only it were an SM-400...a boy can dream

For me it's the BIG THUD when I power up my Super Redhead/SOB, oooo I can hear it now... calling me

I actually use my Studio 220 more than the SM400. It's smaller, lighter (fits great in a SKB xbox), and is enough power for most applications. The SM400 needs a bigger box for cooling but yea, it's sweet too. I picked up my SM for $263, the deals are out there, especially with all this class d crap coming out. Sorry, just don't trust technology until it has proved its self for a few years. Tried and True pre-Fender! I remember when Sunn was on top, and Fender took the tech they needed and left the brand die. I'm afraid their going to do the same with SWR.
OK I feel better now

I wouldn't be surprised if Fender does that. When they do, I'm buying up all the SWR gear I can.
If anyone is looking in Cincinnati, Ohio for a mint Post Fender! Goliath Jr. IV cab, PM me please. I need to get an Avalon U5 for the studio and a local guy has one for me if I can sell my cab. My paid subscription runs out today so I don't know if they will pull the add or what, the link is below and pictures are attached to the add. Thanks!

I just found this site and I'm an SWR user. In the late 90's I was using Hartke 7000's and they kept needing repairs so I bit the bullet and invested in an SM-900 (09/99 date mfg.) I got a Goliath III to go with it (12/99 mfg). Absolutely loved it I then bought a Goliath Senior (8/01 date) for larger venues. This rig has done everything and lasted. It's still my rig. Well, fast forward to now, and I decided I wanted a smaller rig for practice and jamming so I read the reviews on the 2008 Redhead and just bought it. I love it. I will post pics of my gear shortly. Love the forum. If you have a chance, could I please have a number? Thanks.
I saw someone practically giving it away for a steal of a price. Who would do such a silly thing?
Did the pre-amp tube swap give it a different tone? Mine's getting old and I'm starting to think of getting a new one. So far, no noise coming from it, but I want to beat the gun and get one on hand so I can swap it out when that day comes, so I'm shopping for which one I should get. I have a SM-500 too.
I didnt notice a huge difference in tone but to be fare I just cant find the tone I was looking for out of it no matter what. That that it sounds bad, it certainly doesnt, Just not what I was looking for,
Anybody in here pare a Goliath Jr with a Traid?
I have a traid now and am thinking of pairing it up with a goliath jr to push a little more air. I'd love to hear from other's experience before I pull the trigger on it. I've also considered selling the triad and pairing a goliath jr with a big ben. If you got experience with those two, please chime in.
