BassPimp66 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 You can't go wrong with that rig. Sounds like you are ready to make some serious noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I had the HA4000, with 210 & 115 XL cabs. Was a great rig. Think you will enjoy it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 After hearing about Hartke's customer service, I'd be more than happy to own one of their rigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemonCello Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 One of the practice rooms we use has one of these mated to a Hartke 4x10 and I love its 'punchiness' Built to last too, but watch the control knobs that stick out a bit - easy to twat and bend them. Enjoy! LC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hartke stuff is awesome, my first borrowed bass amp was a 1x12 kickback combo and if you stood in front of it it really did kick you in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Another Hartke fan here - got a LH500 and an HA2500, and they're both great. On a sidenote - I've just been cruising around Thomann's website, and see they're doing the LH500 for 236 quid. Seems like an awful lot of clean, warm and very loud tubey loveliness, for not a lot of money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm a huge Hartke fan. I used a HA5000 head through two XL410's as my tour rig for a few years before switching to Warwick. Beautiful rig...I do miss it very much. Don't be fooled by the price of Hartke kit against their competitors. You get a heck of a lot of bang for your buck. If you like a fast attack and well defined punchy tones then you can't go wrong with Hartke. Plus, the aluminium speakers look the business on stage!

davehux Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've got an HA3500 with a 410 and 115 cab and I've never had the bugger above 4 on the volume knob, no matter how hard the guitard and manic drummer try to play. Some serious power in that there box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
