Glad you got it Baz! Aside from you and me  I don't know anyone else, we are in a small club.

I  have to say that the Hiwatts are beautiful in their simple styling and having heard Scott's rig, are impressive rigs on stage.

I´d love to hear a rig like that, Hiwatts must be one of my favourites when it comes to design quality...

ANY 1060's Thunderbird...Reverse or NON with ANY Dave REEVES Hylight Hiwatt is a winner...OR....Try the New Hi-Tone amps....they are co-owned with the Reeves family and made EXACTLY as close as technically possible to EXACT HIWATT Dave REEVES designs!!! To hell with Music Ground Hiwatts!!!!

I could have gone through life not knowing that Hi-Tone exists, much less the HT200 SAP.  I'm just glad that it has no onboard reverb because otherwise the near-3k I'd have to spend to own one, as well as the certain divorce, might not be enough to hold me back.

I recently recorded my bass parts for the forthcoming album using my DR103 and some old 4x12" sealed guitar cab with vintage Celestions. Perfect tone, especially with a P-bass or T-Bird.

Great rig you got there Baz!
