AlpherMako4 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have a great rig. A barefaced supertwin and a markbass lm3 800. It's great. The other week I got an SWR GOLIATH iii junior 210 from a friend of mine. Now, the barefaced is sonically perfect but this little cab just has something about it. And to make matters worse, I picked up an SWR SM500 last night from a nice chap on here. It's equally awesome. I now have the dilemma that I thought I had a great rig. But now I have another. Can't use both........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 1st world problems.... See how the new rig fares in a band situation and if it's good there too then you can alternate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTypeV4 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I don't think I've ever owned any 'bad' cabs but my little SWR Goli Jr III are the best cabs I've ever owned.. Can't see me changing them anytime soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I liked them with original PAS speakers in them.... the problem was if you needed to replace them, which I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardbass Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think I'm coming out of the Neo speaker/class D amp thing and getting back to ceramic drivers and my solid state amp. It's a weightier lift but a weightier sound to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] We've both been through that - luckily I have all originals plus two spare just in case. Having said that, I ought run the numbers as there has to be better alternatives than the Deltalites.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The markbass amp does seem to be naturally a bit warmer,smoother and have more bottom. But that is at very low volume whilst at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The SWR sound is much nicer for bass at low volumes - it compensate for the weirdness of the human ear with quiet sounds, which otherwise makes bass guitar sound rather midrangey. At high SPL it has a habit of getting lost in the mix so you need a lot of output (my old solution with an SWR Grand Prix and cabs which were rather subdued in the mids was almost 2kW of amp power - and that was in reasonably restrained bands (100W 2x12" guitar amps, not full stacks).
