I was using a no-name German flatback, small-ish 3/4. Various string sets (Obligato, Sprio mittel, Bel Canto, Superflexible) and a Realist. If I turned the amp up more than halfway feedback was a serious problem. I could play lines with infinite sustain using my left hand only, as if I was Carlos Santana.

Of course the Acoustic Image is much more expensive than the SWR. I tried for years to avoid shelling out for a fancy specialized upright bass amp but eventually broke down and don't regret it. I'm glad the SWR is working for you.

I see that, like Sam, my experience was with the Workingman's 10, not the Working Pro. I haven't tried the Pro, maybe it's voiced differently.
