Stingrayfan's Selection

[stingrayfan]

Just acquired a s/h Hartke LH500 head (cheers, Raggy) so here's my updated gig rig:

Hartke LH500



...with my Warwick 411 4-ohm 4x10 (600w).



...and with the G&L L2000 Tribute I use at most gigs. It's a great sounding bass, that's light and easy to play. Not really found anything to better it.



Also have a 1x15 Trace combo that I use for the smaller gigs. It's like this one (will take a proper photo, next time I wheel it out...)

First impressions are that it is very warm sounding; creamy almost. Haven't used it in anger yet though - will report back after a gig on Sat.

Used mine in anger for the first time at a gig last weekend. Great tone and power through my 4x10. Best bass sound I've had in a long while, actually. Didn't have to do much tweaking to get it either - just boosted the treble a bit. Made the floor rumble and my trousers flap, which is all good.

Of course!

The Trace Elliot 7215 1x15 Combo was my first ever bass amp! i don't remember much about it other than being an 18 year old thinking it looked cool..... remember it sounding loud though!

Cheers - the G&L is brilliant.

The head's just in a wooden 2u rack. It's quite heavy duty (more than I need), so I was considering swapping it for a rack bag instead. PM me if you're interested in buying the case!

Very nice setup The G&L & Status make for a very nice contrast in sounds. What's the Warwick rig like?

[stingrayfan]

The cab's big and bulky but takes whatever you throw at it. With the Hartke head, it sounds great. Creamy, even. I used to have a Warwick head but found it a bit soul-less for me.

Going to gig the Barefaced Compact with the Hartke head in next couple of weeks, so will be interesting to see how that does. Much as I like the sound of the 4x10, it does take up a lot of room in the car and is a two man lift. If the compact can give me the same sound live, I might think about ditching the 4x10.
