Nothing beats a couple of well tuned HIWATT's. Nothing. I got mine. Had 'em for years now. :wink:

I'm not mike, but that bass is old and sweet. It's a '63 I believe. I was drooling, and I'm not a bass player! :mrgreen:

Yep, it's an original from August 1963. All original inside and out. A super player, too. Of course it also has that Jazz Bass warmth in its sound as well.

Once in a blue moon I will accept a kind word. Now please return to your normal level of verbal abuse.... :wink:

I'd love to come, but Autumn is usually my financial nadir for the year. :(
Maybe if the amp repair work keeps me busy...
