SWR SM900 Amp *SOLD* £600

[4 candles]

Howdy Basschatters , I've decided to let this one go after long consideration.  This is an original, pre fender, made in the USA, SM900 twin channel, 900watt, stereo bass amp. Arguably one of the best solid state amps ever made! This is the real deal, a professional touring amp, used by players from John Paul Jones to Marcus Miller!  Im the 2nd owner of this, the original owner owned this from new and had it shipped from the USA way back in the day. It has been housed in a rack since day one, been well looked after and still has its box candy, and foot switch. It does have a few scratches on the front and a couple of facia screws have "buzzed" out over the years but other than that it's looking pretty damn good and of course working perfectly.  Comes with seperate power converter*    Collection from Birmingham or I may be able to deliver if on route to a gig possibly or meet up half way, Im sure we can look at something.   Thanks for looking  Here's some more details from SWR;  The SM-900 is truly the “State of SWR’s Art” in bass amplification electronics. The SM-900 is only  slightly deeper and heavier than the SM-500, yet delivers twice the power and includes new fea-  tures such as our very flexible tone section. Along with shelving-type Bass and Treble controls, the  equalization section consists of two independent 3-band semi-parametric EQs. This provides the  user with two analog presets via a silent footswitch, or three presets (EQ 1, EQ 2, or EQ 1+2)  using the manual slide switch located on the front panel. You can now go from a solid groove  sound to soloing with just the tap of your foot. Several suggested EQ settings are included in the  tone section of this manual.  The SM-900 also boasts a studio-oriented “side chain” effects loop allowing the user the diversity  of an effects unit while maintaining the constant clarity and natural tone of the instrument. SWR’s  exclusive “To Tuner” jack is also on a side chain. Remember when you had to unplug your bass  from your amp and hook into your tuner and frantically tune up between songs? Or patch the tuner between your instrument and amp, thus degrading sound quality? Those times are history.  Add to the above both stereo and mono effects loops, stereo/mono operation of the power amps,  biamp capabilities, up to 900 watts RMS of power, an extremely quiet preamp, a “non-pumping”  limiter, complete recording ability, and SWR’s proven reliability and sound quality, and you have what we feel is the best bass amplifier made anywhere in the world.  Every Professional Series product from SWR Sound Corporation is manufactured and hand-built in  Sun Valley, California, USA.  SM-900 SPECIFICATIONS  Note: All measurements were taken with a line voltage of 120VAC.
