MGR/Anonymous « SWR Bass 350 »
Published on 01/20/03 at 15:00bought it at long and mcqaude for $1050 can. plus tax.
good tone, easy to use, versatile eq.... oh yeah looks great dressed in chrome.
so-called "professional" rackmount unit has an fx loop that is not very compatible with other pro rackmount gear. fx send and return are too hot for other pro gear like my compressor (drawmer dl241) and my effects (lexicon mpx100). the bass 350 fx loop has been made for stomp boxes. i couldn't get a fully wet fx loop signal without the inputs on my fx units clipping out of control, whitch in turn caused my main output to be too low. i eventually sold the amp.
built like a rock. very solid. no complaints at all.
i have played many other 350 watt amps and trough my eden 210xlt, and they are much more powerfull(about 40%). i think that swr's name is a front. their amps have the looks and their tone is okay, but their have their priorities all wrong. i believe their primary client focus is on young teens who don't really know what they are buying. if you are a serious bass player, with pro gear, don't buy this amp. it won't be strong enough and it will be problematic down the road. look for ebs or eden gear. gear for bass players by bass players. trust me.
