Am I the only one loving the Warwick LWA1000?

[maxoges]

I have had it for a couple of years now. I had an Ashdown Little Giant, a Markbass F1, and an Augilar Tone hammer before it.

The Ashdown was a Joke!, more like a toy. 

The Auguilar was ok, but I really didn't like it. Well built though!

The Markbass was good, but the Warwick is louder and I really like the layout of the controls better.

Love the mute switches!

I run it through a TKS 2128 cab. It has 2 12" and one 8" speakers. It's really really loud even when the volume knob is at 10 o'clock.

No one is talking about the LWA head, so maybe I got the only good one?

Anyone?

Last Warwick amp I heard was being used by the bassist in Inglorious I think.

not sure of the model but it sounded mint

I had the LWA1000 for around a year - it was a great little amp! the double input was a really handy feature, aux for quiet practice at home and the fact that it was super light also, cant fault them.

I have one as my running no 2 amp. Completely underrated. I play upright and BG and its perfect for smaller gigs when I need a small rig.

These are solid and very good amps and will outlast many of their more trendy rivals.

Glad to hear these positive reports. It's an amp I've been considering for a long time. Black or silver? hmmm

Silver? With wooden end cheeks?

Damn, now I want one of those!

[Bill]

IMO the Black with the wood looks the coolest! :-)

[Pea Turgh]

I think it’s just the silver reminds me of a hifi amp! Black also looks cool.

I'm considering getting a LWA500 for my home rig.

Ive just got one of these... my gigs are a mixture of upright bass and bass guitar, so 2 channels is perfect... at first I was worried that the input gain seemed on the quiet side but after comparing it to my Promethean I dont think it is.

Im hoping it will be loud enough with a Bug Baby II cab on its own but havent had chance to gig it yet.

The Lwa1000 does sound very natural with upright but it definetly needs a preamp , whereas the Promethean can get away without one.
