    SWR 350 HEAD AND TRIAD 1 CAB

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Stu-khag

    I cant say it sounds anything like a cranked up overdriven ampeg and Im not sure what exactly a Gallien or Trace sound like. I have been told its great for Jazz though!
    I found it loud enough when I gigged with it...
    I played in a kind of space rock band with it and it did me proud. for me it was albout the clean and warm loud sound. I can't say I've ever really played with the controls and tried getting that kind of rocky sound. Someone else may be a better judge of its good for rock

    I let a friend do two gigs with it who plays in a hardcore/ metal band - he liked it but wanted an ampeg sound so went out out and bought the ampeg whole kit along with an 8x10 cab



    Here's a link to some stuff I use to play and it suited it fine.

    Fender MIM Jazz routed hole under pick guard?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    sorry if this has been asked before but whats the deal with the little routed round hole on my Fender Jazz under the pick guard?
    its about the size of a 10p and about a centimetre deep
    I bought it in 2000.
    Is it something to do with an active version of the bass? (mine is just a standard passive red wine Jazz)
    I'll take a photo of it if its an anomaly but methinks its probably quite common on this model?

    thanks

    sheesh quite expensive!
    I bought my mex Jazz bass in 2000 in Cardiff for £340 so there's inflation for ya!
    Im not sure what the prices are like now but a few years ago when I lived in west wales I managed to get a foot passenger ferry and rail return from carmarthen to Rosslare (including a bus to Wexford) for 13 pounds! if it was still that kind of price I'd say come over and get one. (I doubt thats much of an easy option though!)

    It seems a bit pricey to me considering its missing tuners and electrics. I'd say you're looking at roughly an extra 30-40 pounds maybe a bit less for those bits plus then consider you may want to change the pups.
    body doesnt look in particularly good nick either...
    I'd reccomend doing a search around the for sale section for past mexican Fenders that have been sold recently for a good idea. perhaps put a post in the wanted area?
    I vaguely remember seeing a working one that was a little tatty cosmetically go for around the 200 pound mark.

    I have the same colour and looking at it, roughly same age mex jazz. I changed the electronics and love it.
    I'd say buy one thats complete and usable now and then start tinkering with it.

    its in pretty rough condition- I'd love one but I dont think I'd like to touch this one though
    (I wish epiphone would reissue their rivolis again!)

    Secondhand value advice??

    Its got to be worth more than £350 although I'd agree it does depend on how quick you want to sell it.
    Ive seen them online from around £520 upwards. Ive seen one in a local shop a few pounds shy of 600 quid.
    if its mint and you have an invoice with the setup work thats been done , surely its worth a punt offering it for near that price and see what happens. People can only haggle it down then.

    I'd love an EB2 or epiphone/ tokai/ jap equivalent.
    There's something so cool about them...
    I couldn't justify buying an old one but I wish epiphone would bring out some budget versions-
    any suggestions much appreciated!

    hey guys,
    Ive decided I need to get rid of this. tried selling last year but didnt try hard enough.
    SWR 350 head (pre Fender, the model after the red one). NEW PICS AT BOTTOM (CAPS LOCK MADNESS! ARGGH!)
    Ive owned it 3 years. it needed a good service but now in good condition (thanks to Nobles, Cardiff). Ive kept it in a rackmounted flight case. a bit of the front paint has come off the face but not major (pictures to be taken to show this- SEE AT BOTTOM- I SHALL TAKE BETTER PICTURES IF REQUESTED!)
    In total, its played around 10 gigs since its been serviced as Ive not been doing anything major thats needed me to take it places.
    Hows about £220? (with flight case, can be sold without)
    REDUCED TO £200 WITH FLIGHT CASE
    Im happy to look into the idea of posting this.
    Due to imminent move Im not able to consider trades for this!



    CAB IS SOLD
    SWR Triad 1 Cab. one of the early ones thats in good working order. a little bit rough around the edges due to being through a few gigs/attacked by my old cat (its got that fuzzy lining on it).

    I have one picture of the rig so far which I will upload but will take more pics.

    CAB IS NOW SOLD!!!!
    head is sold.
    all sold for 350

    Will sell as a complete rig for £400 but happy to split.

    I have no experience with instruments but I have experience with camera equipment. We took roughly 300 grands worth of equipment and put it all through as luggage. didnt lock any of it but used cable ties.
    It all went swimmingly however, one of the crew managed to pick up an 80 grand lens from some other company...(apparrently it was on its way to a Madonna video shoot)
    I'll point out that all the kit was in peli cases with custom cut foam. they are virtually indestructible.
    If I ever need to take a guitar abroad, Im getting a peli case!

    Well here's my rig.


    Swr 350 (mk2?) and I think its a Triad 1.


    Would ya believe Ive not gigged with it in over two years (and it got serviced just before its last outing doh!)
    It was such a blast playing it live and I love the triad 3 way speaker setup
    Its currently used as a key stand in my old flat. Such a shame Im not gigging for the forseeable.(Coming to a for sale site near you!)
