Well it arrived, suddenly!! Was stressful as I wasn't at home so luckily my parents patiently sat in my house and waited! Amazing. The low B is incredible. The bass balances incredibly well, it's a nice weight. The finish is flawless! The sound flat is very full a natural, there's a lovely mid-range to the tone and it'll be interesting to open the control cavity up and see how it is set! The darkglass pre is very powerful!! Don't seem to need much boost or cut. The treble to my ears at least really gets that bitey spector growl! All first impressions but very impressed! Always played Warwicks before!

I currently have a Spector that was supposed to be with me on Friday. Never showed up. Fefec Tracking turned to delayed until last night where it appears to now be at another depot but delayed still. I take comfort in the fact its moved but fear it could be low stuck there for days or weeks. I feel for you, it absolutely infuriating and I despise companies that can't get something they've been doing for years right..

Just an update. Still no bass. Fedex are looking into. I really hope they find the bloody thing!

Looks like fedex have done a great Jon at losing my bass. What's an infuriating waste of a day. All I can hope is that the tracking gets updated and a new delivery date is given ! 🤯

Eagerly waiting for the fedex man, thought the estimate delivery window is coming to an end soon and worried the tracking hadn't updated since last night! We will see, it says its on time 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Just officially became a spector endorsee and ordered a Violet fade Euro 5 LT, coming on Friday! Very excited. Never thought I would go for that colour but it very much grew on me with the gold hardware.

Definitely! I've found I like to run very very hot alpher into the passive input, just seems to give it a little more edge. The new cabs are great too, the sound seems so immediate, very punchy!

It's been decades since I played through a HA series amp that I couldn't really fairly compare them. I would love to get the HA3500 at some point though. The HA4000 i had was completely solid state, and I remember it had a huge amount of low end but was very clinical sounding where as the LH1000 is a very warm amp that let's the sound of the bass really come through. After having used the amp for a few shows now, I've found the way I've used the EQ is to simply enhance the sound subtley rather than trying to really shape the sound, if that makes sense?

A bit of advice to anyone with lightweight cabs. Even if they are light, don't jump out of a van with them! I did and I suspect I have now a few bruised ribs from the impact of the cab hitting into my chest!!

It's not my favourite set up but it works for Victor live! The LH1000 actually has a balance control so you can send more output to either cab. Only the top 4x10 was plugged in, in that photo as it was deafening! Me and the keys player do not like bass through monitors so we just blast the amp! Love these amps!

Yep getting plenty of use out of the rig, it moves some serious air!!

I'll see if I can find ir again!

Cool, you should try and demo the new gear. Hopefully it would change your opinion. There is a great video with Victor Wooten playing through a mic'd up rig similar to mine and it sounds incredible. It's a sweetwater video about looping or something.

Thanks man! The HA4000 was a great amp, I had no idea how to use it properly at that age though!! I've gone back to the gear of my youth, hartke amps and finding I just love playing my Warwick 5 string with emgs recently!! I think its important to play instruments and gear you enjoy!

So, earlier this year I found myself in a position where I was offered an exclusive artist endorsement contract with Hartke Systems. I had recently played through a Hartke rig at a festival and was really impressed with the tone. Obviously, being a fan of the amps I bit their hand off and a couple of weeks ago my rig of choice turned up at the doorstep. I opted for the LH1000 and the new HL410 and couldn't be more happier with the new setup. I absolutely love the tone I'm getting, the LH1000s simplicity and warmth combines perfectly with the clarity and punch of the HL410. The hybrid speaker cones give me the perfect amount of high end that I've never experienced with other cabs. They had their first outing last weekend at Lattitude and Leopalloza Festival and filled the stage with glorious low end! I apologise if posts about equipment from companies you endorse aren't allowed but I'm just so pleased and my mind is blown I'm getting this support from the company.

Ended up seeing one band at Glastonbury, which was Kelis and was great! Caught the first few songs of lizzo and it sounded great and also the lottery winners who I enjoyed watching a few songs, very entertaining. Somebody asked why the singers sound a bit ropey in the bands. Most likely doing multiple shows a day, it's a nightmare getting around the site to each show and sleeping in a tent and getting little sleep. I took it easy and the earliest I got to sleep was 2:30 and eas up by 6! I did 7 performed across 4 days and last nights 11:30 set was a struggle as was this mornings set and I'm a bass player!! 🤣 a highlight was standing a few yards of Paul McCartney as we watched the sun set from the Glastonbury sign!!

I've seen Kelis so far, which was pretty good but that's it. Too busy running around to really catch anything, factor in getting lost to the camping area every night I'm exhausted.. 3 gigs left

Hi, that was me and thank you. It's a very battered alpher bass! Played 4 shows already this weekend, 3 more lett to go.

I think I object to the flag more than the colour. Guess you could paint t it black!

I had an FGN Mighty Jazz many years ago which was from their private reserve as I had an endorsement deal with them. Amazing instruments!!
