casapete Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Continuing my downsizing, here is my fab SWR cabinet. NOW SOLD - Thanks to everyone for interest shown. It is rated by SWR at 450 watts/4 ohms, yet I always thought it was 480 watts (8x60 watt drivers). Whatever, it sounds bloody marvellous - think Ampeg SVT 8x10,but a bit more manageable/compact. Has useful variable tweeter control too. Made in USA. Have been using it with GK 700RB,which is a great combination. Lots of bottom end,yet clean and articulate too. (Check out the rave reviews on Harmony Central.) Yes I know its a bit large & heavy(approx 100 lbs uncased),but the sound this thing gives out makes it worthwhile -easily managed by 2 people into the back seat of a medium sized motor! Also comes with custom built flight case,which cost a fortune. Has seen some use,but still v.tidy and serviceable. Only selling due to arm injury,which has forced me onto keyboards for immediate future. So got to be worth £275 - less than a crap Chinese made 8x10, and sounds so much better! Flightcased too. Am in East Yorkshire, but possible help with delivery/meet up etc. Cheers for looking. Edited February 4, 2009 by casapete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I love the whole lightweight cab thing - but that is an AWFUL LOT of cab for very few pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_russ Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I used to own one of these - it was great It doesn't say 'simple minds' on the flightcase under that gaffa tape does it? R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Afraid not! Can't remember what was on it though. Thanks for nice comments-this is a great cab for someone who wants a proper grown up rig. And a bargain too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold it to a guy from cornwall (i think, somewhere in the west country) for a lot more than this one is going for -about £500 quid I think. Highly recommended - these sound fantastic with a little mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistahbenn Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I have the henry JR and it is more than satisfying in any largeish venue! This would be the Don of meat and tone! Good luck, BUMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks mate. Forgot to say in the original thread that although not the smallest of cabs (!), it is quite easy to move around. Same design as an SVT - tilt back onto castors using rear handle, and trundle away! So, any interest out there-offers even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
