I hate to be superficial, the the SWR gear is covered with this stupid carpeting and it's very heavy. Of course, I wouldn't mind having an SWR rig around, too.
I've been looking for ways to cut down on gear. When you're playing 3-4 nights a week, you're whole outlook on gear changes.
The Ampeg cabinets have a "dirtier" tone. It's easy to get this crunching sound from my bass with the Ampeg stuff.
If you want purity and richness and all that's fluffy and nice I'd go with an SWR.
I like overdriven sounding gear, though.
