Check out this review of the Natural Blonde™ from the August 2007 issue of Bass Player!

SWR amplifiers have been an integral part of the tool kit for thousands of upright bassists since the brand debuted in 1984. With the all-new Natural Blonde we have taken the features that appeal most to upright players, mixed in some features for acoustic bass guitarists and blended them into the ideal amp for these discriminating musicians. Two independent channels and a jam-packed feature set make the Natural Blonde a Swiss Army knife for bassists of all styles.
