B-U-M-P! Can't find out how old this is unfortunately.. The SWR website doesn't have any info on dating products that I can find. If anyone knows where I might find that info out, please let me know, thanks? Still sounds great though....

[quote name='walbassist' post='743725' date='Feb 13 2010, 09:06 AM']Ok guys, I think enough people have contacted me now that a change of price is justified. I am going to revise the asking price to [b]£3300[/b]. I hope this doesn't make anyone angry, I just want to make sure I get what people think is a far price. Thanks to all. Gareth[/quote] Just my 2p worth Gareth, but given the circumstances, the other comments here and especially Chris & Paul Herman's opinions, then I think you're perfectly justified in putting the price up by what is in effect, only 10%.. It's a beautiful bass as everyone has said.. Good luck with it!

[quote name='walbassist' post='743459' date='Feb 12 2010, 08:14 PM']Thanks for the comments guys. Nik, I'm not on WBN any more so if you could point the folk there to this thread I'd appreciate it. A few other things to point out following a PM: The fingerboard is ebony rather than the usual rosewood for a fretted Wal. Standard 9v Wal electronics and hardware. Cheers Gareth[/quote] No problem - all done!!

[quote name='tombboy' post='743353' date='Feb 12 2010, 06:10 PM']The special is really nice! [/quote] +1 That is a very sexy bass...

That's too beautiful for words really!! Very interesting provenance on this bass too; the last one made by Pete, the little Fish logo on the headstock, the pick-up placement etc, etc? Obvious question.. have you put this on the Walbassesnaturally Forum yet because I would expect it to generate a great deal of interest there? Good luck with the sale Gareth..

[b]*** Thanks for all the interest - this is now SOLD! ***[/b]

[quote name='Dubs' post='741937' date='Feb 11 2010, 12:19 PM']I was eyeing this up yesterday and would have probably gone for it as a backup if I didn't crash the car into a bollard last night! Looks like a great little D-Class amp for not a lot of cash...[/quote] Sorry to hear that!! Hope the damage isn't too bad...

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='740644' date='Feb 10 2010, 09:08 AM']Also it does have jack outputs. See that hole in the middle of the speakon socket? That's it! Took me ages to find on my Superfly![/quote] Thanks for that info! You really do learn something every day...especially here on BC.. And cheers for the positive comments chaps!

[quote name='jhk' post='741674' date='Feb 11 2010, 04:51 AM']You can buy with supreme confidence from Nik!! This is a great cab at a truly bargain price.[/quote] Thanks Jon! I know we discussed this when I bought the Eden rig last year; the Triad and the Metro do sound amazing together! But in most venues I play, that rig would be absolute overkill, and I just don't have a big enough car to take the combo and the Triad together.. Shame, as it would literally be deep joy!

[quote name='Rich' post='741202' date='Feb 10 2010, 05:02 PM']The Triad is a completely brilliant & wonderful-sounding cab and 200 quid is a steal. Just wanted to say that. Have a bump [/quote] Many thanks! Some PMs replied to and will do any others now.. It's a Mk 2 (or Mk II) version of the Triad but I don't know what year..I'll try and find out though via the SWR website.. It's definitely a 4 ohm cab!

Thought it might be useful to post a link to the Ashdown website [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=labs&ID=212"]HERE[/url] which has all the spec...

I had the 5 string version of this about 10 years ago; surprisingly good sounding bass and really well made! Good luck with the sale..

Hi Folks Since I got my Eden Metro (210 combo + 210 cab) rig last year, this beautiful sounding [b]SWR Triad[/b] cab is just not getting used. I bought it 2 years ago from Lee-Man and have used it with a varity of different amps; Peavey T-Max, Eden Nemesis, Gallien Krueger, Ashdown and the Eden Metro and in each case, it brings the very best out of the amps (and the various basses I've used).. There's some great [b]reviews[/b] of this cab on Harmony Central [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/SWR/Triad+Cabinet/10/1"]HERE.[/url] I think this comment from one of the reviewers sums it up: [i]"I've played through tons of Genz Benz cabs, some Ampeg cabs, and a good bit of other stuff, and there really isn't a comparison you can make to the Triad. With the possible exception of Accugroove, no other bass cab manufacturer I know of offers a 3-way bass cab. This isn't a PA cab, but I guess it would make a great one. The sound of this cab is top notch and I would rather have 2 of these than a 15/210 combination."[/i] Though the Triad design has been around since the mid to late '90s. it's still in production, so here's a link to the SWR site which has all the [url="http://www.swrsound.com/products/search.php?partno=4470400000"]SPEC.[/url] Here's a very recent [b]photo[/b]: [attachment=42289:Jan_Feb_2010_204.jpg] I can supply [b]more photos[/b] should you want to see them. It has speakons & jack sockets on the back, by the way. It isn't light; at 80lbs it definitely needs some muscle to move it around, but the trade off is that the sound is just fabulous! It can be shipped obviously, but at a cost of around £30-35, so if anyone's interested in the cab, then collection would be a much more sensible option if you are anywhere near West Sussex? As you can see, I have used some [b]gaffa tape[/b] across the front to stop the aluminium grill from vibrating on the very low notes and it does the trick nicely.. Personally, I quite like how it looks, but I realise that some people might not. But it doesn't affect the cab in any material way and it can be removed and cleaned up without too much trouble. [b]Price:[/b] I saw one of these go on Evil Bay before Xmas for almost £240 IIRC, so I am asking for [b] £200[/b] ovno (plus p&p) which I think is quite fair. However, feel free to make an offer.. Any questions, please PM me or ask away here.. Thanks for looking.. Nik

Very nice! Good luck with the sale...

[b]*** Thanks for all the interest - this is now SOLD! ***[/b] Hi Folks, I bought this head from James (Moos3h) last December, thinking it'd make a great lightweight back-up amp for gigs, especially as it's designed in such a way that it has two output stages each capable of delivering 500w into 4 ohms..meaning you can use two 4 ohm cabs with it (which I have done and it's great!). However, our gigging schedule is being significantly reduced this year now for a number of reasons, so I don't really need this on top of my Eden rig and an old Peavey head! So I thought I'd offer it up for sale here to see if anyone's interested? It's only a few months old, comes with warranty, original packaging, rack ears and a neat little gig bag that'll carry it and the cables very easily. I paid £170 for it including the gig bag, so I'd be happy to let it go for [b]£185[/b] + p&p, but that's [b]including two speakon cables[/b] (one is an OBBM cable) which you will need for it as it doesn't have jack sockets. I think that's a fair price for the amp and all the extras, especially as the cheapest new price for just the head is about [b]£249[/b] at online shops like Soundslive/Electromusic etc. Soundwise, it's effectively a Trace Elliott head, with a decent graphic, typical Trace pre-set e.q switch, a deep switch that is very useable indeed and 1000 watts to play with.. However, to enjoy all that power, you'll need to be able to drive the input stage quite hard and that is one of the things that didn't work so well for me, as my main gigging bass (a Roscoe Beck 5) has a very low pickup output.. But overall, the sound is very good and of course, it's a very compact piece of kit! Here's some pics: [attachment=42154:Jan_Feb_2010_206.jpg] [attachment=42155:Jan_Feb_2010_205.jpg] [attachment=42156:Jan_Feb_2010_081.jpg] [attachment=42157:Jan_Feb_2010_079.jpg] [attachment=42158:Jan_Feb_2010_082.jpg] Am happy to post it (with p&p and insurance at your expense), plus I am happy for people to come and try it out first which is obviously better to do if possible. I know there's lots of great gear for sale on here at the moment and money is tigher than tight, so I'll give this a week or so here before considering Evil Bay. In the meantime, fire away with any questions here or just PM me. Thanks for looking... Nik
