About Me

The SWR tradition of innovation and excellence began in 1984 when founder Steve W. Rabe developed an entirely new concept of bass instrument amplification. Responding to advice and suggestions from top L.A. recording bassists of the day who wanted their live sound to resemble what they heard in studio playback monitors, Steve developed a full-range, hi-fi bass system that allowed players to dial in any tone they wanted with the accuracy of a studio mixing console. The “SWR sound” was born.
The tradition of innovation continues today stronger than ever, and SWR remains faithful to its full-range, high-fidelity and ultra-clean roots. It’s all part of SWR’s continued commitment to bassists who seek equipment that not only does the job, but also actually enhances their overall musical experience, contributes to their creative process and amplifies their future.
