'67 Thunderbird/Hiwatt gig report

godofthunder · March 05, 2011, 12:00:04 PM

From last Saturdays gig. I was sick as a dog sore throat, fever etc. Pretty happy with my sound,second song of the night, not the best song to showcase my limited skills but what the heck.

I really like the sound of your Bird. Nothing sounds like a 60's T-bird, except maybe an Embassy.

(what happens if you drop the pick - yep, I spotted that one...

)

Nice and (deep) throaty sounding, Bro...

What cabs were you using...?

Well "IF" I drop it I can carry on with fingers or grab one of the dozen or so picks that line the top of my amp.

Cabs Hiwatt 2150 (2x15) and Hiwatt 4x12. Heads Hiwatt DR201 and Hiwatt(Fane) 100w Bass

I was pretty sick that night sore throat I could barley talk, 100+ fever. Every time I opened my mouth I was worried what would come out! Slade? I can only dream

As an unabashed Sweet fan I say very nice job Scott!

I love the sound of that thing, especially your open E.

Nothing sounds like a NR II! For a while I was leaving them home and using my Model G powered NR "fenderbird". Now I bring both the Fenderbird one of my NRs. Here is the Fenderbird for comparison.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiBrr31hd2Q
