| | | | Dudes Who Use Hiwatt
Sign in to disble this ad
I decided to start this thread out of curiosity. Entwistle, the dude who's name pops up when the words "Bass" and "Hiwatt" are mentioned together, used them biamped, Waters got a good clean tone out of them, Nick O'Malley uses them for distorted sounds.
I think John Deacon may have used them, anyone know? Anymore guys?

| | | | I think I remember Robert Trujillio saying in Some Kind of Monster how much he liked the sound of the Hiwatt amps they had. I don't know if he uses them live or anything though.

Bi-amping is using crossovers between special-purpose drivers to reproduce particular bandwidths. 
That said, The Ox had one hell of a sound Precision into Hiwatt. One of my favorites.

I LOVE Hiwatts. I have used them quite a bit and they are tone beasts. We once played a festival in Toronto and were given Hiwatts to use 9thank you very much) and the guitarist's amp had "Lifeson" stenciled on the back. How cool is that?

| | | Whoops! DR201s, apparently, in studio and live - although I'm pretty sure the 405s were in use for the big gigs like CalJam. http://www.glennhughes.com/gallery/s....php?photo=526
