I've had this amp for I'd say going on 3 years, and I can't wait to sell
it to someone who wants one...I've used it in many different playing
situations, and while it has held up well, I just can't seem to get the
sound that I want out of it. I use both a Fender Jazz bass and a Kubicki
X-factor bass and I don't feel that this was a good amp for these basses.
I had to have a repair done when the amp started smoking at rehearsal,
and had to wait for 23 weeks to get it back, so I feel that SWR is
laughing all the way to the bank with this series.
