Last night's rig
« on: October 31, 2010, 10:59:40 AM »
Not as impressive as a Hiwatt stack but it got plenty loud.  The old SWR Studio 220's get an unfair rap for being underpowered but I've never had any problems being heard with mine.  Last night I combined it with 2 Hartke cabinets and it was a pretty massive sound.  I'll post some gig pics as they become available.  Here it is during setup.

With a stack of 4x10s, I'd be surprised if it weren't loud!

When I worked at a music theatre, one of the best bass sounds I heard was from a session guy in minor country one-hit wonder's band. He used an old SWR baby Blue with a Japanese Squier P/J.

Friday night we were at Shooter's on 620/Anderson Mill.  Just used one cab for that one.  Saturday night was the annual Halloween Howl that the band has done every year since 1999.

John Paul Jones uses SWR and he gets a Killer tone.

I'm still working on getting a great tone as opposed to just a good tone out of my SWR IOD. My problem is that I have my near perfect sound already from my SVP-PRO. I need to just lock the SVP in a locker and give my wife the key so that I'm forced to use the IOD until I can make it sound as good as its apparently supposed to.
