This looks very nice, and would fit a lot of my needs.
Does anybody know the price?

Thanks !

I know SWR has fallen out of favor here, but I'm surprised there isn't more discussion on this.

I love SWR's looks & the sound some pros get from it but I could never make it(Bass 350, 750 & Gol. Sr.)sound good(or loud enough). If I thought this could beat up on or even compete w/a Hartke Kickback 12 I'd be keen to check one out. They still intrigue me, at least aesthetically; if I saw one of these at a store I'd want to check it out.

Finally, an attempt at lightweight stuff.

Interesting! I'm glad to see SWR coming out with an innovative product. Hopefully there's more in the works from them in the lightweight segment of the market...

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Definitely something I want to try out.

Finally, an attempt at lightweight stuff.

SWRs workingman series had some of the lightest combos around back in the late nineties, when compared to the competitors. But I guess they haven't really done much to jump on the micro rig bandwagon.

I've always said I wouldn't replace my Workingman's 10 cube, but this looks very intriguing.

I took a look at the link. There are a handful of appealing features on that head, I really like the phantom power option and on board compressor.

I just might "need" one for studio work.

I like the sweepable bass, mid, treble controls....

 

[Gearhead43]

Wow, if that isn't targeted at upright bass players / doublers, I don't know what is. Very cool little amp, now if they would follow suit and make a bigger combo, with more wattage & the same features that would rock.

With who???

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Has anyone had a chance to try one of these yet? I'm not even sure if they're shipping.

 

[Son of Sanford]

These look interesting.

 

[LeonD]

I think the list is $999.

With who???

There's a sizable group of people on this board who used to use SWR and ditched them around the time they were purchased by Fender. When it comes to tone, weight, power, lack of features, terrible customer support, etc a lot of people have moved on.




(Full disclosure: I'm one of them.)

$1000!!!!

Too expensive, unless the preamp is out of this world great.

Looks a lot like the Baby Baby Blue.

 

[ElMon]

Very excited about this. Hoping that SWR will drop their take on the whole lightweight amp craze. Throw in a tube (SWR Tube Pre???), make it around 10lbs or so, and I'm in!!!
