Dood

Yes, I was hoping to get some today, but I've been on my death bed fighting a rather virulent strain of mild lurgy today and didn't get to complete my post. Apologies!

Yes, as per my post, it will be something the buyer will need to arrange. So if you can arrange your courier to collect, then no problem. Payment will be by bank transfer. I'd recommend choosing insured and tracked shipping. Just PM me if you would like to go ahead

It's funny as I was discussing the amp prior to advertising with a fellow BCer and did say that I actually thought about keeping it as it sounded so good when I ran it up to make sure it all functions correctly.

Oh, I forgot, it also has a carry handle on the side as standard too!

Yet, it retains all the same rock-solid performance and features as the original that have made it one of the most popular bass amplifiers of all time. The HA5500's unique circuitry ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is faithfully reproduced. Featuring two pre-amp input knobs for custom blending of tube and solid state tone and a ten-band graphic EQ, the HA5500 is ideal for the player who wants plenty of power and control. But we don't stop there. A dedicated preset button allows you to set a equalization curve and two fully adjustable contour knobs provide even more shaping of your distinctive sound. A built-in compressor adds real "punch" to your bass sound, and also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes.Rugged construction and professional features make the HA5500 totally road-worthy. Two independent inputs accommodate both passive and active bass guitars. LEDs show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light environments as well as a two-color LED that continuously shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing.Electronically balanced direct output provides routing signal to professional mixing consoles for both live performance and recording environments. A ground lift switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section.With all the features you need for complete tonal control, along with ample power and rugged design, the HA5500 will ensure complete bass euphoria no matter what kind of music you play. Manual here: http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/support/manuals/HA35_5500_OM_5L_V5.3_1.pdf Nice lil rack mountable head here - very loud and made of "non D class heft" as discussed on BassChat. This example does have the well known Hartke Noisy Fan syndrome, but I know the fan can be swapped out for a computer-style noiseless fan fairly easily. There's a few marks on the outer casing and the rack ears are silver instead of black. With all this in mind I have set the price nice and low - will make a great gigging amp! Collection only folks, unless you arrange your own courier and take full responsibility for shipping. I have a suitable box.

It offers Hartke's classic tone, enhanced flexibility and an abundance of power, along with all the newest concepts in bass amplification design. Its amazing power and control make the Kilo Bass Amplifier the ideal choice for every situation—from recording studios, to small clubs, to giant stadiums. The Kilo delivers 500 watts at 2 ohms of power per side in stereo mode, and a massive 1,000 watts at 4 ohms in the bridged mono mode. To sculpt your sound, the Kilo has an all-tube class-A preamp, and logically arranged tone controls. The amp offers a classic tone stack three-band EQ, with Hartke's variable Shape circuit. For additional tone shaping, there is a 10-band graphic equalizer, as well as selectable Deep and Brite EQ curves. To add some “dirt” to your sound, there is a variable tube Overdrive circuit, and to round out the dynamics, there is a fast and articulate Compressor circuit. To connect your amplifier to speaker cabinets, the Kilo has both Twist & Lock and 1/4" output jacks. It also provides an abundance of connections and signal routing features, including multi-point direct output switching, stereo Effects Loop, front and rear panel tuner outputs and footswitch jacks to remotely control the Mute, Overdrive, EFX, and EQ functions. Not only does it pack optimal tone control and more than enough power to drive any cabinet, the Kilo's rugged design is perfect for life on the road. Its solid 3-rackspace construction, solid die cast front panel and oversized handles make the Kilo an eminently road-worthy. The Kilo Bass Amplifier is a robust bass head with full-range power and control that will shake the foundation for discriminating players in every style. The manual for more details is here: http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/support/manuals/Kilo_OM_5L_v2.1.pdf This amplifier is a beast. I would say it's primary competitor at launch would have been the Ampeg SVT 4 Pro - and in some ways it shares a few features. The head uses the same modules found in the LH1000 so it will do HEFT and volume. I can't think of too many other amplifiers that have such a feature set on board! It's going to be collection only I am afraid, but I think its a good price considering the amp is in excellent condition and comes with a tasteful rack sleeve to protect it.

Bump!
