SWR poll

I have been looking at other stuff.
Right now I'm looking at the Warwick Terminator!

I'm in the middle of reconfigging my rig. I'm going with a Super Redhead 2x10 with a Goliath III. That'll do me just fine. I was going to go with an Eden setup, but I've had too many bad experiences with Edens.

 

[Woodchuck]

BTW, anyone have any feedback on the Silverado combo?

Try some other stuff - why limit yourself just to SWR - listen with your ears and don't look at labels?!

like what?? Any suggestions......I'm open

My combination is the 4x8 (now discontinued - WHY??!!) and the 15. Believe it or not, the 4x8 is actually plenty for me - whatever it lacks in volume it gives in punch. It's the kind of cab where you can play at a low volume and still cut through the mix. I actually haven't been too fond of the 15 cab lately - I find it makes my sound uneven (too boomy on the low notes but notes on the G string don't speak as well). I may trade it for the 2x10. I use the GK 700RB head, which I prefer to the SWR bass 350. I think it puts out as much juice as some 500 watt heads and has super crisp high-end.

A good 4x10 atop a 1x15 will bring a tear to your eye my friend. I just added a 1x15 to my setup (which is a R-1000 w/ a 4x10), and that thing has sparkling highs (when wanted), punch, tightness, clarity, warmth, fullness, and it COULD get boomy if I wanted it to...but why muddy the sound when you could give people a great thump to the chest from the ole' low mids.

You'll love it, and it will suit any application...very very versatile...

A rig I've used for many years and received many complements on is two original SWR 4x10 Goliaths, a '70's Alembic F2B preamp (tubes, baby) and a Crown Power Base2 poweramp. Tremendous across the entire bass spectrum - 'tight' with deep lows, punchy mids, and crystal clear highs. No mud. I prefer a very hi-fi, piano-like live sound and this setup delivers (one cab or both). Of course, I still believe the real 'sound' comes from your hands, but a quality instrument and quality gear help to enhance or bring out 'your' natural sound. YMMV.

I have played last thuesday on a 4x10T SWR with an SWR amp..but I did not get any low "oemf" out of it...can the 4x10" handle the 5th string of my Warwick F.N.A. Jazzman 5 ??

 

[GrooveDude]

guarantee you it can handle that Low B

you didnt get the "oopppmph" probably becuz you didnt eq it right.....bt who knows....it may be a combination of alot of things

 

[seansbrew]

I have the SWR sm-500 head and the goliath sr.6x10 cab and am very happy with it. It handles the b string great and it all fits in the back of my Honda

 

[whitehouse]

6x10 is too big for me ... I am playing in a church band, so it has got to be easy to handle ...

the 4x10T is a workingmans cabinet.


try a goliath 3...totally different ballgame.



so now that they released the 4 ohm goliath III i'm a little torn. i was going to sell my cabs and get a goliath sr and then a small combo, but if my 2x10 + triad is plenty loud, wouldn't bridging 1000 W into a goliath 3 be plenty loud too?

I'm still going with a 8ohm, and I guess I'll have to special order the big ben now...this way I'll have a 4 ohm load

 

[Geoff St. Germaine]

SWR 2x12!!! Finally the Bigfoot is back (pretty much). This is the answer for my cabinet to add to my Super Redhead.

Yes!!

Geoff

 

[Geoff St. Germaine]

Nope, checked out the website it is totally different. And custom order basis?? Maybe I will do like Woodchuck and grab a 4 ohm Goliath III. That should be good. And I can use it if I get a bigger amp down the road.

[GrooveDude]

I dont know about you all, but I'm not to fond of the blood tolex covering on the custom series. I love the black and chrome though!!

 

[Bigfeet]

They should bring back the big foot then I could get two and have a screen name that sadly represents my gear.

I recently bought a SWR Bass 750 with the new 4 ohm Goliath III and I'm loving it. I can get any sound I want and the head powers up to the full potential of the speakers. No problem with headroom at all. I've never had so many good comments about my tone before. People can't believe that a bass can sound that clean without being trebly! IMO

 

[Rod Harder]

I use the Goliath SR with an older SM400S head, and it RAWKS....I gig between 6-12 nights/ month in ALL kinds of styles and I have yet to run out of headroom or be unable to find the tone I need for any gig.
The Senior is still manageable in size (barely) and I personally like using only one cab. I did play the new 12 Stack at NAMM this January and I loved it, especially for an "old school" warm,round tone. Mids aplenty and really good bass response, it's a different kind of cab though, to be sure, it's not the typical SWR sound, but it's a great cab.
BTW, Geoff, I have the 12 Stack and 12 Pack on the way, so when you come to pick up your Dingwall 6 you should check 'em out.

SWR Goliath Jr. 2x10
I own one, and its awsome. VEry suprised for the low end this cab can achieve. also as its known for, it is very focused
