Should I: Trade my '66 BF Super Reverb for a Hiwatt Custom 50 1x12 Combo

I am actually giving this one some thought because:

I already have a '66 BF Deluxe Reverb

I already have a '66 BF Princeton Reverb

I would not carry the Super anywhere,k too heavy. If I needed the fire power I would probably take one of my silverface twins or 2x12 Marshal JCM 800

 

So what do you guys think? trade it for an easy to carry but extremely loud

1x12 Handwired Custom 50 Hiwatt?

 

Would you?

No.


I'd trade it for an early '70s Hiwatt, but not for what they're currently putting out.

 

 

Other than the obvious vintage value is there a tone difference?

 

2007 is yesterday huh? I mean a reall BF 1966 Fender Super Reverb. I know I will kick myself later for sure!!!

Basically the Harry Joyce era is regarded as the golden era of Hiwatts.

 

Later models sound good, but will never be as desirable or valuable as the 70's ones.

 

If you're looking for a Hiwatt now buy a Reeves.
