The Basic Black Integrated Bass System has been designed as a no-frills amplifier for the player requiring a pure sound and a minimum of controls. The precision electronic section is entirely hand-built, employing a variety of technologies selected for their sound quality and practical usefulness in a road able and studio-ready amplifier, including vacuum tubes in the initial gain stages of the preamplifier section and discrete solid-state design in the power amplifier. Regardless of its lower price, the Basic Black offers no compromises of the essential SWR design and construction philosophy. Corners are not cut from a more elaborate model: rather, each product's design parameters are conceived from the ground up and the best available components selected for each application. The Basic Black's tone-shaping section, including the Aural Enhancer (found in all SWR Preamps and Integrated Amplifiers) and the Tone Controls, will not impose a character on your sound. They will instead make the interface between your instrument and the speaker system, the two biggest factors in your final tone, a simple matter and a minimal effort. The center frequencies of the Tone Controls were chosen for their musical effect on most basses. The Basic Black speaker system features a single die-cast frame (as opposed to the more frequently found stamped frame) 15 inch bass driver from Professional Audio Systems coupled with a piezo tweeter for frequencies above 5KHz. The cabinet is constructed from 3/4" Douglas fir and 7-ply birch. We truly hope that the Basic Black helps bring out the best in your playing and adds to the enjoyment of your profession.
