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...

White 60's 'Bird is my dream bass. That and the Hiwatt rig look made for eachother. Must growl like no other..

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!
