SH73 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Since PMT does price drop on their gear I am Gasing to get and pair the following two. Hartke VX410, Power Handling: 400 watts @ 8 ohms With Hartke LH500, 500 watts of power @ 4 ohms Can I match these two and would will be the wattage?

LewisK1975 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hey Fella, hope you are well, glad to see you've still got the Steve harris Sig Bass. Yes they'll work together just fine. That amp will put between 300-350w into the 8ohm cab. So no concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass is never going to leave, I was like a 5 year old at Christmas when I got it.. Those Hartke amps and cabs seem to he a bargain at £360 for the rig. I'm between lh500 more power or ha2500 with graphic equaliser. But like the simplicity of lh 500. I could always use my hartke pedal and tc spectracomp. Hope you're well and business going well too.

fretmeister Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I've had the HA3500 and the LH500 They sound a little different - but the LH500 is just a great reliable simple amp. It has massive headroom so you may well need a compressor to tame the peaks a bit - but you've got a Spectracomp so all is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been relegated to back up amp behind my TC Electronic BH500 mind, but it's still a great amp. If you can get a Spectracomp pedal, which the BH500 has built in, You'll be fine. If not, then just use the LH500's Limiter button. Oh, and the LH500 has an output of 350 watts @ 8 ohms, so you'll be fine using it with a 400 watt 8 ohm cab!

bazzbass Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 at those prices grab another cab to get full use out of the amp Then you only need one cab for small shows / rehearsal, only take both when needed another 410 or the 115 cab. don't tell talk bass tho if u mix em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What all the guys said above. I had a LH1000, power for days, lovely amp, remember 'flat' EQ is bass and treble on 3 and mid on 10 and work from there to get what you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
