Delberthot Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I am thinking about getting another Hartke LH500. I had one at the start of the year but traded with my 8x10". I tried one at a practice the other week through a Peavey 4x10" and really liked the sound with the Thunderbird. I would like to have the chance to do a gig with one before I think about selling my Gallien head to make sure it is what I want and I don;t have the money to buy the Hartke and still have the Gallien. I wouldn't expect anyone to loan me their amp but I am unsure exactly what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merton Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Just do what I do - buy before you sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I'd like to but they very rarely come up second hand and I don't have the cash to buy a new one. I'd be selling my GK for £400 cos its only a few months old, mint condition and I really look after my stuff - assuming of course that is what I end up doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hate to be a downer, but I recently sold my 700RB-II (about 6 months old, had been racked since I bought it so great condition), I was looking for £350 for it and had no cash interest at all. Ended up selling that and two 210RBH cabs for £850 on the bay with only one bid. A crime to see it go so cheap, but if you're looking for £400 for it, you might have problems.

Delberthot Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 we'll see how it goes - ideally it would be a trade with a Hartke LH500 or staright swap for an LH1000 but I think that one may be a bit overkill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 why can't I just be bloody happy with what I have? I'm going away for a bit for sit down and a think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 haha, I know the feeling. I've had my new amp less than a month and I'm already thinking about another one. There's no such thing as overkill! I sold my 700RB after getting a 2001RB. More power means you have more headroom. Though I'd stick with GK if I were you, but I do have to say that. The shop I sometimes teach at has an Ashdown 410T in and I've been trying to persuade them to get in an LH500 to pair it up with (they're mainly guitar gear and haven't had in a bass head to go with the cab). They're in the process of moving at the moment to a bigger place, once they're set up there, they'll probably get one in so it'll be the same set-up you're looking at (assuming you'll be using the 410T in your sig).
