Description

Looking for the quality of high-end amps, with the price of lower end equipment? The Workman Series was built specifically with you in mind, then. The Workman 15 has all the power your looking for, without all the price. Along with the features that come with every workman amp (solid-state preamp, active 3-band EQ, a custom SWR woofer, built-in Limiter and Aural Enhancer, a balanced XLR direct out, sidechain Effects Loop with Blend control, a tuner output, and stereo headphone jack); it also has 100 watts of power (120 with the extension speaker), a 12" driver, and a piezo tweeter. The price says, "low end," the quality says, "high end."

A little powerhouse. Great for both electric and upright basses.

"This babys got it all"
Feature:
This has great accesories. Especially for the price. SWR has done a great job with this amp.

Quality:
My amp was not loose or anything. It is a solid amp and you can take it on the road. It is fairly easy to carry around. SWR is known for professional quality and this amp shows it. And this site has the specifications wrong. It is a 120W amp and 160W with an extension

Value:
This product would be overpriced if it was another amp. But you know if its SWR its pro quility. it is well worth the price. This is a bargain for an amp of such quality

Desirability:
This amp is not the flashiest thing you will ever lay eyes on. but it is not dull. It looks very nice . and performs extrodinarlay and is amazing

Sound:
This amp has one beatiful tone. You can really beef up the sound, Just some really good low end BASS! I found it to be pretty warm. The tweeter makes the highs nice and easy.

Support:
i have come across no problems with my amp. I have had it for almost 3 years now. i has held up great

Overall:
i will probally get an extension cab. And for large gigs i can just put it into a pa system to get the sound i need. I dount think ill need another amp for several years

"Tom P."
I have been a bass player since 67 and my favorite amp is a B15n. I only need an amp for practice or small gigs so after hours and hours of research (and a former owner of a redhead, a sm500, and a basic black) it didn't take much influencing other than listening. I have tried all but 2 or 3 of the combo 12 inch rigs and this is the closest thing I've heard to my B15n. All the features and none of the weight that i am use to. A superb bass amp, for any venue. One minor flaw is I would have liked to see the tuner and headphone jacks reversed. Otherwise an ideal amp.
