dudewheresmybass Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I really like my lh500. simple, no frills amp. it’s my backup for my Marshalls. it’s all about taste really, but crap distribution is, as already noted several times, a highway to brand destruction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sausage Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I visited this thread to see if anyone knew anything about the LX8500. Glad I did, I will stay well away. I thought Hartke were supposed to be good. I have a bass attack pedal which I use all the time. Think I'll start looking at other amps.

The HA3500 was a brilliant amp. It all went wrong after that really. A real shame. Edited August 25, 2021 by fretmeister 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I sold my HA5500 a couple of weeks ago as I did my first gig for some time. Actually helping out a client's band whose bass player went awol. The hilarious think was I only got £100 for it. Now, I'm not bothered by this, but it kind of shows how far they have fallen out of favour. The new amps are terrible. I think I'll be getting a new GK fusion s to replace it.

I don't use it myself as it doesn't quite suit what I do really. I did toy with getting that amp a while back and decided against it.

I'd be very interested in you thoughts on the Fusion S once you've given it a work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
