Unofficial Upper Midwest Vintage Hiwatt sub-Convention

Post by OldSchoolDave »

Just enjoyed a nice Sunday morning/afternoon with Hiwatt Bob & JC103, strumming guitars through Hiwatts at an Unofficial Upper Midwest Vintage Hiwatt sub-Convention in Dave's Garage :) .

We tried a few different speaker cabs - including a '78 G12H30 55Hz loaded Marshall 1982 cab :shock: . Spent most of the time playing a '74 DR103 through my '72 cast frame Fane loaded Hiwatt cab, though a pair of stamped frame Fanes sounded pretty darn good too. Good conversation and cold Leinenkugel's. Hard to beat that!

Thanks for coming over, guys! Safe travels Jarrett & Jenny. See youse guys next summer, perhaps?

That'd be cool - especially if he brings Crescendos 8) !

I heard the word "quad" mentioned... God bless him, it appears the mayor of HIWATT Valley has had some serious G.A.S. of late. :wink: :lol:
