bass player pete from Upper Michigan, USA
Quality:
This thing is a tank. It's built tough, heavy and ready to gig.
Features:
The greatest feature is the tome shaping. Seperate tube and solid state controls, the 10 band eq(also switchable, high and low controls and compressor... you WILL find that sweet spot in you tone.
Sound:
The sound is completely uncompromised. I set out not wanting a combo amp but due to budget had to consider them. I found this after about a year of research.After using other hartke items I bought this without even playing it first. hartke make great affordable gear that performs professionally. I really could not be happier. I have found the tone perfect for my band and the tone perfect for me. It's well built and ready to gig. one cab to grab and go, easy. It definatly has a presence on stage. I play in a rock band and haven't had it up past 3 1/2 though i have turned it up other times and the sound stays true at any volume. Lots of head room. If your looking for a combo or a good bar gigging amp set up you should really look at this, its spectacular in any price range.
Playability and Feel:
This thing is very heavy, but comes with casters so it's not bad to move.Pretty good sized for a combo amp.
Tone:
The tone is your choice, brite or warm or middle of the road. Just be ready to get some punch, It gives that mule kick with any tone.
Finish:
The carpet covering looks really nice and flawless.
Action:
Out of the box it's ready to go! Slight EQ mods and personal sound touches but huge power and lots of head room

KingStunned from Denison, Texas U.S.A.
Quality:
This monster is constructed very well. It weighs over 70 pounds, but the casters make it very easy to move around. Plus, the casters are on the amp when it ships.
Features:
The best feature by far is the independent tube and solid state controls, allowing you to tailor your sound from vintage all tube amps to more modern day solid state sounds. I no longer have to rely on my A.R.T. Nightbass to produce the tube and compression settings. Those are now done very easily on the front panel of the amp. If I don't think I would change a single thing on this amp if I could. I was optimistic about the paper cones in a Hartke amp, but quickly discarded any optimism after today.
Sound:
This amp is by far the most versatile amp when it comes to tonality. It offers a sound that can fit into any genre of music without effort. Even if you're looking for your own sound, you'll find it easily.
Playability and Feel:
This thing plays very loud and very clear. The controls are easy to get to if you do have to make an adjustment.
Tone:
The sounds are very tailorable to suit any kind of music you care to play.
Finish:
The bass amp has a very nice silver and black design that's easy on the eyes, plus it's cool looking.
Action:
Basically, you just plug & play right out of the box. Plug in your bass, set the equalizer and you're done. It don't get any easier.
