SWR Workingman's 12 Bass Amplifier (100 Watts) New Look!
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.
"9 years after use, my SWR Working Man's 12 still works great every time i power it up!"
Feature:
easy to use, and they work!
Quality:
road worthy
Value:
I've been playing 30+ years, the amp is;the best, most compact, easy to use, transport (under 50 lbs)
Desirability:
if and when it dies, i would get another one in a heartbeat.
Sound:
the sound on it's own (one 12",w/horn) is good-but direct to the board/thru PA w/2 15"& 2 18" JBL's it sounds fantastic.
Support:
never had to contact co...not any real problems other than once, when praticed in someones damp cellar-needed service one time in 9 years.
Overall:
Owned it since the '90's...if and when it dies, i would get another one in a heartbeat.

SWR Workingman's 12 Amp Customer Review
Feature:
It has enough power, it has enough tone control, the ext balanced output and tuner outputs are great.
Quality:
Again, for the money, a good unit.
Value:
I've already answered this... a good value for sure.
Desirability:
Who cares?
Sound:
For a small combo, with low price, it sounds pretty darned good. It's not particularly warm sounding, nor is it as dynamic as a larger more expensive amp, but for the size and money it's a satisfying amp and a good value.
Support:

"The best small bass-combo for any use."
The 100W output is more than my Laney's 125W. The sound on the SWR is easily tweakable to any bass and any liking. Mostly of all, this will be able to make a bright slap, a mouring fretless, or a boomy dance-like bass sounds, and it excels in any of those. Also, the power amp limiter means that You do not have distortion in Your signal, even if You try to push Your amp too hard. I always ask for my friend to give his SWR for a loan when I have a gig.. and there is a good reason.
