The world is your oyster now

That was quick! Must be those new strings :-) Might try some of those myself.

Wow! Sorry to see it hasn't worked out for you and that you're moving this on so quickly Et, but I'm sure the bass has benefitted a lot from you setting it up as you have done. I have to agree with you about the strings - as you said, I'd put some Elixirs on it before I sold it - but they didn't sit that well with the bass for me, nice strings as they are. It is quite a resonant bass as you said and I'm sure the D'Addario XL nickel-wounds sound great on it! I sometimes wonder about whether I actually prefer playing 4 or 5 string basses, and it can be really confusing switching between the two during gigs (as I do), but in the end, I've probably spent more time playing 5 string basses over the years than I have 4 strings, so that's where I've decided I feel most comfortable... However, you know what suits you best, so if you could pick up a four-string Roscoe Beck, that'd probably be perfect for you? Anyway, it's a fabulous bass and I'm sure it'll find a good new home very quickly and good luck with the sale.. All the best Nik

Thanks Molan, that's a great story! And yes, I have to agree; this is still one of the best cabs I've heard, even now...

Midweek BUMP!

Another BUMP!

Saturday morning BUMP! :-)

Price/Trade Value: [b]£225 o.n.o.[/b] Hi Folks Here for sale is my [b]SWR Triad 3-way bass speaker system [/b]; it’s a fantastic sounding bass cab which is in 7/10 condition and is all original. [b]Triad Spec: [/b][list] [*]4 Ohm, 400 watt, three-way speaker enclosure featuring (1) 15" speaker, (1) 10" speaker and a tweeter. Very accurate studio sound from SWR's only three-way enclosure. [*]Features Bottom Slot Port [*]Spring Loaded Rubber Grip Handles [*]High Quality Metal Input Panel with Heavy-Duty Attenuator [*]1/4" In/Out and SpeakonÆ Input Jacks [*]Horn Protection Circuit [*]Power output N/A [*]Impedance (Ohms) 4 Ohms at 1KHz [*]Height: 27", Width: 23", Depth: 18.5" [*]Power Handling 400 Watts RMS [/list] [b]History[/b] I bought this from Lee-Man here on Basschat about 5 years ago and it’s been the mainstay of my bass rig for gigs for 3 of those 5 years. I've used it at lots of gigs and whatever amp I’ve used it with, it's [b]sounded great! [/b]It's one of the newer models, which you can tell from the silver grill on the front but I don't actually know how old it is. [b]In use:[/b] Soundwise, with it’s combination of a [b]15” driver, a 10” driver and 5” horn[/b], the Triad does it all for me without being too clinical or too hi-fi IMO. It really is a great sounding cab! As well as at gigs, it’s also been used at the [b]South East Bass Bash[/b] Jam Rooms for the last 3 years and has worked brilliantly there too – used with a variety of amps and by a wide range of Basschatters. Two years ago, I remember [b]Alex Claber [/b](a.k.a. El Supremo at [b]Barefaced[/b]) A/B-ing his [b]Super 12T[/b] prototype against this cab, and Alex was pretty complimentary about the sound it makes, though it doesn't have the power handling of the Super 12T admittedly. Nevertheless, that was a very good endorsement from Alex I thought.. Over the last few years on Basschat, I've always commented on [b]how good[/b] these cabs are whenever they come up for sale; and if it wasn't for the fact that I've just moved house and need to raise funds to buy a lightweight rig to make loading/unloading easier, I wouldn't be putting this up for sale at all. [b]Photo[/b] Here’s a photo of the cab at the 2012 South East Bass Bash last September. [attachment=135906:IMG_2733.jpg] As you'll see in the photo, this cab has a black gaffa tape 'cross' over the front grill, which I put there to stop the grill making a noise and rattling - I can take that off if that's preferred, but I personally found it sounded better with it on there (there's no religious connotations with the cross,I might add ) Anyway, please PM me if you'd like to see more pictures. [b]Reviews etc[/b] Lots more info about the history and technical features of the Triad can be found here:[list] [*]Bass Central info on here about half way down the page -[url="http://www.basscentral.com/2003/swr_amps.shtml"]http://www.basscentr.../swr_amps.shtml[/url] [*]Talkbass: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/812/title/swr-triad-cabinet/cat/28"]http://www.talkbass....-cabinet/cat/28[/url] [*]Harmony Central: [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/t5/Bass-Forum/Anyone-use-an-SWR-Triad/td-p/1796745"]http://www.harmonyce...ad/td-p/1796745[/url] [*]And here's the link for the Manual: [url="http://support.swramps.com/manuals/pdfs/Cust%20Pro-spkrs_0074459000a.pdf"]http://support.swram...0074459000a.pdf[/url] [/list] But, having said all of the above about how good this cab is, I really do have to get a smaller and lighter weight rig now, so the Triad is ready to go... [b]Collection/Delivery etc[/b] I think it goes without saying that I'd much rather this was [b]collected[/b] [b]in person[/b], but I will [b]ship[/b] it very securely packaged up necessary. I've checked with Interparcel and it is possible to ship this for about £20 which is quite reasonable I think.. Plenty of Basschat 'chat', tea/coffee and other beverages on offer to anyone who wants a trip to [b]Littlehampton[/b] on the south coast in order to come and try out the cab first.. [b]Price-wise[/b], I think this is about right at[b] £225[/b] having looked at what other Triads have gone for lately on Evil Bay but if I'm way off, please drop me a line and we can discuss it.. Recently or just now, [b]Mansons[/b] had one for sale at almost [b]£400[/b] here: [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/product/ex-display-preowned-swr-triad-cab-5470"]http://www.mansons.c...-triad-cab-5470[/url] Anyway, as ever, thanks for looking and if you've any questions, feel free to PM me or ask away here.
