Not sure how it would compare to a Goliath 410, but the 15" driver in the Triad gives a distinct 'thump' to the low end in my view, that is quite different to that of a 410. Having said that, the 10" driver and the horn provide articulation and a sweet top end, so it's definitely produces a full range sound. Here's what I said above about the Triad and a Barefaced 212: "Sound-wise, if you look on the internet, the jury's out about full-range bass cabs but for me, I've found the Triad to be a very versatile cab, capable of delivering fantastic lows with quite an articulate mid-range and a sweet top end. I remember Alex Claber A/B-ing his prototype Super 12T against this cab at one of the Bashes about 4 or 5 years ago, and although the Super 12T was capable of taking more power (and it's a lot lighter obviously), the sound of the two cabs side by side was actually quite similar - something Alex commented on at the time.." Hope that helps. 😊

[b]*** NOW SOLD - Thanks for looking![/b] *** Hi Folks After having owned this cab for 18 months or so now, I've decided to put it up for sale for: [b]£140.00 o.n.o[/b]. plus p&p. [b]History[/b] I bought it on here from BTGAndy in 2015 at the South East Bass Bush because I've always [b]loved the sound[/b] of these cabs! So much so in fact, that I bought this at the same time as I had my original Triad (which I'd had since 2007). Anyway, as is so often the case, GAS got the better of me and right after buying this, I bought a beautiful Ampeg V4BH rig,with a 115 from The Beedster, and I've been gigging that pretty much exclusively ever since. So, I've only used this Triad about 3 times in anger since I bought it And, much as I love the sound of these cabs, it's time to move it on because (i) I've got too many cabs anyway, and (ii) I've just bought a TechAmp 115 out of necessity because my back's been playing up.. So a lightweight cab has become an absolute essential.. [b]Condition, photos[/b] In terms of condition, it's pretty good - say a 7.5/10 and the cover's in OK condition too.. [attachment=238311:Triad 2.jpg] [attachment=238312:Triad 3.jpg] [attachment=238313:Triad 1.jpg] [b]Sound[/b] Sound-wise, if you look on the internet, the jury's out about full-range bass cabs but for me, I've found the Triad to be a very versatile cab, capable of delivering fantastic lows with quite an articulate mid-range and a sweet top end.

Here's a review posted on Musician's Friend some years ago: [i]"I've been gigging with the [/i][i]SWR[/i] [i]Triad[/i][i] cabinet for exactly 10 years this month. It's been through all sorts of music to include acoustic world type music to heavy progressive. This is the clearest sounding cabinet I have ever heard. You will hear every nuance across the frequency spectrum."[/i] ([url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/swr-triad-3-way-bass-speaker-system"]http://www.musicians...-speaker-system[/url]) [b]Spec[/b] [size=4][color=#333333][font=Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif]4-ohm, 400W, 3-way speaker enclosure featuring a 15" woofer, 10" mid driver, and tweeter.

[b]Trades, shipping etc[/b] Just to clarify that I'm not looking for any trades on this thanks. Viewings welcome if you'd like to hear it first and I m happy to ship it at your expense.. Any questions, please ask here or PM me.. Thanks for looking! Nik

** SOLD EBS Octabass MK1 Pedal, True By Pass ** SOLD
silverfoxnik posted a topic in Effects For Sale
*** Now SOLD *** Hi Folks This [b]EBS Octabass Pedal[/b] is the first item of quite a few items that I'm going to be putting up for sale over the next few days. Now SOLD. Bought on here a year or so ago, it's in perfect working order and sounds great! Only problem is, I'm not using it because I tend to always use the octave patch in my Zoom B3 out of convenience... [attachment=238308:ebs-octabass-649053.jpg] Anyway, it is in cosmetically good order, and it [b]sounds[/b] [b]great[/b] - way, way better than the octave patch in my Zoom B3. Oh, and it is true by pass. It doesn't come with the original box, or the PSU I'm afraid, hence why it's priced at [b]£50 delivered[/b] to your door! Just to say that I'm not looking for any trades on this at the moment - thanks. If you've any questions, please send me a PM or ask away here. Thanks for looking! Nik -
The BIG FAT South-West Bass Bash, nr Taunton, 2nd April
silverfoxnik replied to scrumpymike's topic in Events
Looks like a great event shaping up! -
Just bought a TechAmp 115 cab from Gareth. Apart from the cab being really good - exactly as he described it (and more in fact), it's always a pleasure dealing with Gareth because he really knows his stuff when it comes to basses and bass gear and you can count on the fact that the gear he's selling has always been really well looked after! Add to that his excellent comms, all-round friendly vibes and his long-standing reputation here on Basschat as one of the 'good guys'; trust me when I say that dealing with Gareth is always a positive experience. And to paraphrase him, he's a Basschat legend and highly recommended! What more could you ask for? Thanks Gareth! 😊

Thanks for the very kind words Gareth, I am 'blushing'... 😊 Am just about to reciprocate on your feedback thread. Just to say that cab is exactly as you described thank you; very lightweight, and a very sweet tone indeed! Nik

What bass do you regret selling? Was it love?
silverfoxnik replied to vinorange's topic in General Discussion
I've regretted selling quite a few of my old basses over the years; My first Rick 4001 I traded for a P Bass in 1982, which I then sold - I regret both those going! But there's been so many other basses that have come and gone since then, I've kind of lost count (or I'm going senile a tad earlier than expected). Time to make a list I think...?? On the plus side, I'm really happy with the basses I have now, so maybe it's not all too bad! 😀 -

We do Figure It Out, again in a 2 x guitar, bass and drums set up and it always goes down a storm... It's great fun to play too! Royal Blood are quite well known where we gig though, as we're only 20 miles from Brighton, so that probably helps.

The Queen of Soul abdicates her throne...
silverfoxnik replied to TrevorR's topic in General Discussion
Wow! Totally agree Trevor; there's no one around in her class! I think it was Jerry Wexler, one of her producers, who said of Aretha: "She's all alone in her greatness" Hope she enjoys her retirement; she's earned it! -
Albums you think are crap but are critically acclaimed...
silverfoxnik replied to julesb's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1486663646' post='3233700'] It might have been mentioned already but here goes; the debut Stone Roses album. Utter sh*te. I'm guessing the reviewers who proclaimed it to be the saviour of music were 'E'd up like all the fans. [/quote] +1 And, dare I say it around here, anything by Jamiroquai - especially the first album - leaves me totally cold! Synthetic, 'wannabe Stevie Wonder', funkless drivel.. and that's it's good points! -
Always loved those old cheesy soul tunes, like 'Betcha By Golly Wow' by The Stylistics, and 'Zoom' by Fat Larry's Band...

Absolutely! My one had a Bartolini 3 band eq circuit in it and it was really versatile tonally.. I used it in a rock band and it sounded great. I had a Wal Custom 4 string at the time, and the Wal didn't get a look in, either live or in the studio. Got to say, this is a great price for a bass of this quality; my one cost £1450 new back in 1992, and I then spent another £250 on buying and fitting the electronics!

[quote name='ElijahBass' timestamp='1486638642' post='3233405'] Bump! Thought someone would have took this of my hands by now [/quote] Me too.. I can't believe this is still here?? Great value for the money and it looks really cool! Looks like it replicates a lot of what the Roscoe Beck V would do, for a lot less money.. Anyway, GLWTS -
