I have three items of SWR gear I’d love to get hold of.
A Baby Blue head and monitor speaker with the 2x8/1x4 set up
and an Interstellar Overdrive.
I used a Goliath and Big Ben set up years ago and the sound was sublime.
I use bag end cabs after being introduced to them by SWR.
You could also think about using a double stop hipshot Xtender to drop to D or C on the E string.
I use a single stop for a few tunes with a D.
This does depend on though on dropping one string or down tuning the whole set.
I did the same and so did everyone I know, trading amps, selling guitars/basses when you were skint, borrowing cabs when someone else provided them, not a care for cables or ohms even, just getting drunk and having a blast.
different times..,
Purchased a Bass off paul.
Great communication and a lovely guy.
Met up in Cambridge, unfortunately I was working so couldn’t stop for long.
Beautiful bass exactly as he described. Could be ‘The one!’
Thanks paul glad to be the next custodian.
How about a nice Ampeg SVT either a full tube amp or an SVP pro pre amp
lovely tube creaminess and depth when clean
5 mid settings for adding or scooping mids (slap it like it’s a pert bottom on a French hooker)
That nice ampeg fat bass sound to add a bit fullness and if you want a bit of distortion just crank up the gain and drive those tubes.
plus none can pick it up and run off with it so security and peace of mind.
