Product Rating Product Review This is my second Hartke Hd150. It’s by far the best value in the 15” bass combo market in 2024. It’s a tested and proven amp with a variety of basic features. The tone is clear and easily definable. I use my pedals for most things, so all I demand is a well built amp. With a padded cover, this one will work nicely on the road. My only complaint is the tolex is somewhat thin. Be sure you buy a padded cover.

Product Review Delivery of the quick and uncomplicated. Especially considering it was right after a hurricane here in Port Charlotte Florida. Quality of the sound is clear and definitive. I don't like muddy sounding bases. Highly recommend this amp and AMS.

Product Review Great bass amp plus the di is great for recording. Use both a mic and the di and get a smooth professional sound. Unreal, sounds so good. AMS makes it easy to own. So quiet sometimes I don't know it is on. Buy this amp and thank me later.

Product Review Nice amp. Enough power to keep up with the Marshall half stack sitting next to it. Sound guy LOVES the direct input-makes his job easier. 7 band EQ makes it very easy to get the sound you want. And, this combo speaker gives a lot of low end, more than I was expecting for a single 15 inch speaker. Very nice.

Product Review Probably more amp than I need, but exactly what I want! The eq is handy to dial in the perfect sound I'm looking for. I mostly play in Church, but other gigs occasionally. No matter the venue, this amp fits the bill!

Product Review The HD150 has a solid punch of bass at a low volume, clean with that smoothness one like when doing simple bass runs. What I notice this amp compared to the rumble, it has no comparison, the fidelity if one would say stands out like a sore thumb but excite you to drive the amp more precise than any other. Hartke made this amp sound clear with a great tonal response the EQ is excellent when dialing into a precise frequency tone. The Amp sounds the same a setting 1 or 10 great low bass it's like a greatly made banana pudding smooth the bite, smooth to the taste, smooth to the swallow.

Product Review The Hartke HD 150 HyDrive is a great amplifier. My Fender squire sounds excellent. It has a nice crisp sound and the lows are outstanding. I love this product, and thank you American music supply for a fast delivery. Once again absolutely a great product.

Product Review This amp has almost all that I need. If it had a discrete line out, I could chain two or three of them for larger applications, with the modular portability advantage. Tone is great, graphic works fine, I think it will stand up to a hard hitting drummer!

Product Review This review is from a former Fender Rumble 75 owner. The first thing I noticed was how light this amp weighs given its size, but don't let that fool you. This amp packs a punch for sure without sounding muddy. The graphic equalizer helps resolve any and all issues with muddiness. There's a lot of amplifiers out there with 15 inch woofers that have that problem, but this amp has a tweeter that helps with the high end and a bit with the mids which provides a uniform balance. I'm all jazz, so slap,pop and soft finger sound awesome coming thru the paper/aluminum cone with a resounding punch that I was looking for. I'm sure that this amp can handle whatever style I want to play, it's just that versatile. The 150 watts is plenty for practicing at home (secure the fine China and glassware) or for small to medium size venues. The headphone Jack will keep the neighbors happy! This is truly a rock solid amp that I highly recommend and I am very happy with this purchase!

Product Review This is the best bass amp I’ve ever heard for slap bass. The big ‘15 handles the low B of my five string with ease; no mud, just powerful bass. The enclosure is durable and transports easily as long as there are not many stairs. Get one. You’ll be glad you did.

Product Review My personal choice for nearly 20 years is that Hartke Aluminum sound. This hybrid real does shine. The best of all worlds since I play an active electronics Ibanez SR400. Sweet soul, funk and rock with this amp is a turn of my guitar knob away! Loud enough by far for any average Bar or Club especially with a sound system. I also mic the amp for ambience. Get one today. American Musical will help make that happen!

Product Review Very pleased with this Bass amp. So far, it's been loud and sonically big enough for most mid-size venue situations (large halls, auditoriums and clubs). Great tone shaping capabilities for both the stage and studio, as well. Very good construction quality and fairly portable--it's neither super heavy or super light. I expect to get a lot of mileage out of this rig.

Product Review Great out of the box the product was built to take a beating it has built in handles big solid rubber feet or better yet it comes with casters for easy movement of the cab to gig or just around the house the controls are towards the back on top but easy access and protected. Headphone and line in jacks are easily accessible on the top now to the sound this things thumps it sounds great with my Fender and the built in EQ is a plus love the lows......

Product Review My rating is based on quality of sound versus dollars spent. This little rig is hard to maybe impossible to beat for the money. I have a 5 string Carvin Custom LB75 with active pickups. The guitar produces quality bass sounds ranging from the 70's tones to the "Seinfeld" sound and maybe a little broader. Usually even bigger amps puke when you get on the B string and go low. But not this amp. I've only used this amp raw for practice so far and it more than held its own. I'll be taking it to Kansas for a blues gig next week. I'll check back in and let you all know how it did on stage.
