A 400W HIWATT?

I've been following HIWATT on Facebook for a while and they now knocking out proper amps again. They've just announced this monstrosity at NAMM.

I've been in a room with a fully cranked 50W JCM800 and started feeling a bit sick after a minute or so. I realise 400W is not 8 times louder but I can't imagine a scenario when you could turn this thing right up.

    It’s a bass amp.

    At least if you’ve got any sense... :)

    A friend has an ex Entwistle 400w HiWatt - he too plays bass. It’s been on tour with a couple of 90s Britpop bands too (I think he said Cast were one of them). It is a fucking monster. It weighs the same as a hatchback and costs about the same as one to revalve.

    Ive experienced it at 30ft and it’s like a wall of sound. But has an incredible tone too through matching cabinets
