  1. What a fantastic sounding amp these are.
    I've spent many of hours gassing over one of these amps.

    A few years ago i would've bitten your hand off for one of these at that price,
    but unfortunately i don't do the size of gigs anymore to do this amp the justice it deserves
    & that will get the best out of it.
    My Swr Sm400s covers my gigs nicely these days.

    Good luck with the sale.

  2. I have a signed Swr promo picture of Ready Freddy Washington, when he did a bass clinic in Birmingham
    for the Bass Centre. If i remember, it was whilst he was a day off whilst playing bass for Michael Jackson dangerous european on tour.

    I also have a Doug Wimbish signed Trace elliott promo picture from a Bass clinic he did in Birmingham & over the years i've got very friendly wth him, i also have a photo of him & myself after his last Trace clinic visit at Sound Control.

    Was given his signature plectrum by Yngwie Malmsteen himself after a gig in '88 on the Odyssey tour with Joe Lynn Turner singing, was lucky enough to
    chat to them before & after the gig, as a friends band was the support act at the Birmingham gig.

  3. Have to tell you about what recently happened to me.
    Being a massive Kings x fan, i went to see them in January on their recent uk tour, their first gig in the midlands
    for almost 5yrs.
    After the gig they stayed behind to chat & sign autographs, i was there with a guitarist friend.
    Anyway we wait in the queue, i get to him & was speechless just saying "Hello Doug hows it going, can you sign my ticket" , Where as my guitarist friend strikes up a 5 minute conversation with him, shakes his hand & has a picture taken.
    Walking back to the car i was silently gutted, in fact i'm still gutted now :blush:

  4. I must confess, i was septical !! about the woolly ashdown sound,
    until about 2yrs ago, when i was in bristol demoing an Swr goliath jr 2x10 cab
    & the guy brings out his ashdown evo 500 amp.

    It was set flat & to be honest it sounded meaty, just enough of mids for me & a very clear top end too,
    which was a total surprise to me.

    Anyway to cut a long story short, i brought his cab off him & i now also own an evo 500rc head
    too !!.

    Sounds fantastic running 2 x Swr goliath jr cabs too !!!.
