I gig Weekly from two table coffee shops (20 watt Peavey) to large garden parties (330 watt Hartke head, 4X10 and 1X15 Eminence Cabinets.) The SWR LA-15 is the gap filler I have been looking for. I play three 5-string basses; Jackson (passive), Carvin, and Michael Kelly acoustic/electric fret-less, both active electronics. I can play the Jackson at volume 10 with no distortion or overload at all !!!!! 7-8 on the other two. The 18 volt electronics in my Carvin LB 75 makes this thing yell, moan, sing and growl in my rock, country, and fusion jazz styles. The fret-less with hot phosphor bronze strings propagates WOW through this little amp. I hear every little nuance I want to hear while I am playing the jazz I wrote. I am really impressed! IT is being advertised as a first amp, or first "SWR." Funny, this amp may be the last bass amp I ever buy. For its class, it is the best performing amp I have ever had.

I wasn't interested in accessories. i just wanted the best 100 watt bass amp I could get.

If you are looking for ease of use in a bass amp. this is it.

Nothing Sweeter.

this is the best combo bass amp. you can buy at this price.

Everyone I know who owns SWR wants nothing else. I have never had or heard a single complaint about their service. I have however had a few pleasant, fruitful phone contacts, always giving me prompt, accurate information.

and I thought there were no stupid questions..................

This amp is friggin sweet! I play a Fender Deluxe P-Bass Special through it and the sound is awsome. The low-end rumble on this baby is perfect.

The controls are simple and way easy to use. I don't really like amps with all those built in effects and crap. I'de rather run a pedal or an effects board directly through the amp. This amp is perfect for that.

The cabinet is built very solid. Perfect for road abuse and studio use. (I use mine as a small coffee table occasionally)

I paid around 300$ (plus tax). This amp is a little underpriced if you ask me. It sounds as great as most tube amps double this price.

I've emailed SWR telling them how much I love the amp, and they responded very promptly. I don't think I'll need any assistance anytime soon.

As far as "Sex Appeal" goes, This amp is really much to look at. Just close your eyes and you'll think you're hearing something much bigger.

5 years of Bass thumpin'

Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, I have been playing since 1973

Gospel, blues, RnB, Rock, Reggae, Jazz, and Smooth Jazz, disco, and oldies, also Country, Funk, and Soul, Motown grooves,

I love the sound! 100 watts is just what I need to annoy the neighbors and make practice fun.

It would be nice to have a longer power cord.

Very easy to use, I like the controls on top and to the back.

The whole cabinet seems very sturdy and well-built. I would like to have options of what kind of material it is covered with. This fuzzy carpet is not my first choice....I hear it is hard to keep clean and looking nice. I do like the design and disagree with other reviewers that it is lazy on design. I like simple nad modern styling and this fits that style very well.

I couldn't find 100 watts for the same price with the same style and design and such great sound!. Awesome deal and value!!

No problems so far...I hope it stays that way.

I would like the volume to go to 11, "one" louder is always a fun option!!

nothing very powerful and so easy to use three knobs, bass, mid and treble, easy to get awesome sound.

it is so durable i got water in the one i used and i let it set and i dried it out and it still rocked like a champ. and it was tough so that you weren't afraid of hitting it on something and hurting the amp, you were most times more worried about what you hit getting hurt.

it's so worth the price.

didn't need to complain it was great

kinda lazy on design it's just a big box with knobs set inside of the top.
