Manufacturer's Description for SWR Baby Baby Blue Bass Combo Amplifier (120 Watts, 1x10 in.)

No, you're not seeing double. The engineers at SWR popped the amplifier section of the original, legendary SWR Baby Blue II combo amp (which many insiders insist contains the best-sounding preamp SWR ever made) atop a custom SWR 1x10/tweeter speaker complement - and came up with the most portable pro combo to date. Studio-friendly features like a three-band semi-parametric EQ, an effects bypass switch, and an EQ bypass option make A/B-ing different and complex tonal options easy for engineers to decipher. The ultra-boutique Baby Baby Blue is perfect for sessions and small club gigs, and it's the easiest way to take the top-of-the-line SWR sound with you wherever you go.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (6 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "You'll never need another amp."
Sound: I am an amateur/learning/hack/poser bass player, this is the third amp I have had (Peavey TKO 150 and and Ampeg 115 before). This amp is by far the best sounding, albeit more expensive. You can plug in active bass to active or active/passive jack depending on how much 'detail' you want to hear. I'm still tweaking all the sounds I can get from EQ with my active bass, I haven't even wanted to plug in effects yet. Feature: Effects loop and blend knob, high-Z out, external speaker jack, speaker on/off switch - nothing fancy here, just every BASIC thing you would ever need in an amp, at very high quality. Unit is light, you definitely can carry it in one hand, bass case in other. The size and portability to sound quality and volume level ratio (if there is such a 'rating') probably put this amp at the top of the heap. Ease of Use: Manual is actually pretty helpful in getting you to what sound you want. Quality: Very sturdy, not a single problem thus far. Also, it's made in the USA, in Corona, Ca. Pretty sure Fender bought SWR. It didn't used to be so important to me to buy things made in the USA, but with all the high-priced GARBAGE coming out of China these days, it's comforting to know that craftsmen/women in our country still give a %#@& about quality. It was worth the price just to get something made like they used to make them. God, that makes me feel old saying that... Value: I will have to see how it lasts in the long run. I got a great deal on it from zZounds because it was an 'opened product' or floor model, don't really know. But, it came in original box, packing and sealed manual, documents, warranty cards, etc. Manufacturer Support: No problems with unit so I haven't had to call them yet, but folks on the phone at zZounds are very good, so I'll give the support rating a 9 to keep the overall score up. This amp is worth all the praise I can give it. The Wow Factor: It looks really cool, shiny silver grate, unique color, soft material covering. I wanted it so bad that I was willing to endure the stink-eye from my wife when I told her I bought it (we were planning our wedding at the time and couldn't really afford it). Yes, it has great sex appeal. Overall: I will have this amp for a long time. Its quality would satisfy players well above my skill range, and its sound is good enough that it makes me want to play it every day. If I ever need more volume (which I almost certainly never will) I can make/buy a speaker to slave off it, or I can go XLR out into a big PA, etc.

"The best combination of portability and quality sound."
Sound: Amazing big sound, SWR quality and unbeatable portability. Unles its a big venue, I take my SWR Baby Baby Blue. Quality: Top notch SWR quality, extremely road worthy. Value: Expensive, but if you like nice equipment and want the most compact professional rig available, this is the amp for you. Manufacturer Support: No problems yet so no reason to contact SWR. Overall: This one is a keeper. Played vintage Ampeg, Acoustic Image, Aguilar, Epifani, Fender, vintage Polytone. My Baby Baby Blue is the most convenient combination of sound and portability and I now use it the most. All you young guys, when you hit 50, small is beautiful.
Style of Music: Hawaiian, folk, clasic rock.
