SWR Goliath Jr III

[MatrixClaw]

Anyone ever tried one of these? I have owned several high end basses over the years but I've never actually owned an amp or cab, because I always had access to a friend's rig if I needed it. I've been thinking about joining a band again recently and, as much as I'd love to play guitar or drums, I don't have room for a full sized kit anymore and I just really don't want to play guitar with other people because I feel like I'll probably get stuck playing with a cover band and having to learn other people's songs and solos is not appealing to me on guitar

I'd like to pick up a smaller setup that I can easily transport and then just send to FoH if needed for more volume. I found one of these locally for an insane price and it looks like it'd fit perfectly where I'd need it to at home if I put it vertical. Anyone have experience with these cabs? I haven't grabbed an amp yet, but it looks like it can handle 350w, which should be plenty. I'm mostly playing modern metal and rock, though I'd want it to be fairly versatile in the case that I end up playing with more of a cover band.

Thoughts??

I never played a Goliath but my brother has the Redhead as well as a Goliath 410 and Big Ben (115). I’ve also tried a few working man’s over the years. I always thought they were great amps and it’s too bad that Fender put them out to pasture after they bought them.
