SWR's Black Beauty combo amp features a custom SWR 15-inch bass driver and high-frequency horn tweeter in a 4-ohm speaker configuration -- driven by 350 watts RMS (450 watts using a 4-ohm extension speaker cabinet). In addition to dramatic, new chassis graphics (featuring the SWR badge in classic chrome), the Black Beauty has inherited a very popular effect from the SWR Mo' Bass soundstation -- the SWR SubWave -- producing clean, pure and accurate octave signals. A Subwave Footswitch with a hardwired 1/4" cable (for connection purposes) ships with the Black Beauty as an added bonus.

SWR Black Beauty Bass Combo Amplifier (350 Watts, 1 x 15 in.) Reviews
2 out of 10
"Bad Experiance"
Feature:
There is an octave function on this amp that would be cool if it actually worked on every note on the neck. It has a cool foot switch for it though that worked sometime.
Quality:
It looks pretty BUT I was the first one to use it as the house bass rig. OK...there was an acoustic act on before us but after about one song....something blew up on it. Actually I think it blew when we were checking it. Maybe it was just one amp out of a million and I got the bad one BUT it didn't let a good taste in my mouth for the amp or SWR.
Value:
Well...if it would work for longer than 5 minutes with out blowing up it might be worth the money.
Desirability:
Like I said it looks pretty BUT if it is only going to break.....who cares!
Sound:
It has no tone that is worth bragging about. It's OK.
