Your bass mother ship has landed.
Incredibly versatile, the SWR SM-1500 bass amp head from the Classic Series has two separate power modules providing an astonishing 1,500 watts (at 4 Ohms in the bridged mono mode or 750 watts per side in either stereo or dual mono), an onboard tube-driven compressor and an array of tone controls that would be right at home in the world's best studios. The SM-1500 bass head will absolutely rock the house while providing the crystal-clear, full-range tone that the world's premiere bassists have come to expect from SWR.
In addition, SWR has added a popular Bass Intensifier circuit; (a boost circuit great for soloing); and a tube-driven compressor, which can be engaged before or after the EQ section of the amp. The SWR SM-1500 is simply a remarkable piece of engineering as well as an incredibly powerful and versatile tool for the serious bass player.
True to SWR tradition, the SM-1500 is an innovative bass amplifier head that is the result of decades of research and design experience, coupled with direct input from the world's greatest recording and touring bassists.

Comments about SWR Classic Series SM-1500 1500W Bass Amp Head:
Although I am still waiting for the megoliath cab to get here, i got the head today and have played it through my halfstack. This amp is out of this world. You can dial in any tone you want! I play death-metal music and some classical on the side. Even though those are very different styles this amp really gives you the option to figure out your settings for any tone that you desire! I came across this piece of gear while trying to find something stage worthy at a professional level. I then read about this product and then I saw that Alex Webster from Cannibal Corpse uses this. He always has an amazing tone so I figured I could find my own tone out of this as well!! Very happy with this product!
