Hartke LH500 Bass Guitar Amplifier Head

The LH500 features a classic 12AX7 Class-A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Developed with the HyDrive cabs in mind, the LH500 also has more than enough power and tone control to drive any cabinet on the market. This amp provides you with Treble and Bass Shelving to give its warm tone a little edge. Or use the brite and limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front panel also makes adjustments on the fly a breeze.

The LH500 packs a big punch in a portable, roadworthy package. A two-rackspace metal frame chassis, steel faceplate and handles allow for easy, safe transport from gig to gig. With the needs of modern bass players largely centered around volume and versatility, the LH500 is an ideal solution that gives you plenty of options to create the exact sound you're looking for.

Subject:You won't get better at any price, only different.
Quality: This amp is built at least as well as anything on the market and better than most of them. This is a definitely a gigging amp.
Features: The DI is clean, the limiter is transparent and the bright switch really helps you cut through the mix. The EQ while limited to three bands, is very musical. There is very little to go wrong with this amp. It is simple, solid and sounds fantastic!
Sound: The tube preamp plus the interactive eq gives you a full, rich tone that is easily sculptable.
Playability and Feel: The pots have a solid feel to them. Same thing with the switches. This whole amp screams 'not fragile'.
Tone: Warm as opposed to sterile but not woolly like some amps. Ultimately, whether you are looking for 'bang for the buck' or are a 'tone purist' you will be happy with this amp. Unless you are looking for sterile or wooly.
Finish: There was a scratch on the right side of the case but in a rack you don't even see it so no problems.
Action: This is an amp.

Finish: black paint, not fancy but not crappy either
