I remember the first contact with the bte:
in a music store, the salesman insisted (very strongly) to completely pass me a Ampeg head. Or, try so its Ampeg head (at least with pramp lamp or any lamp, I can not remember the models). A Precision Bass Ampeg 300W connects to the soundproof room of the store, there's no shit, is done! But I also insisted on trying the Hartke ... and I t's not. A similar power and low-identical, the Hartke was ... how to say ... in the potato supplmentaire mdiums / down mdiums without making the "quack" the Peavey. Power level, I even felt that Hartke had much in the gut. So ... I bought the Hartke! In addition, a lucky, it should be 2 3 times less than the CHRE Ampeg! But everything, c'tait 5 years ago ...

Then, over time, I started a few will appreciate the low saturates and mdiatorise ... and a: Hartke not good! Despite the possibility to mix the lamp and its pramp confrre semiconductors, there's still no shit, Ampeg sounds incredibly better for the big fat warm sound mdiator well saturated. For cons, I still think the Hartke has more power and DEFINITIONS.
Its really great equalizer is effective (when they say + or - 15dB, it really is + or - 15dB!) And I use the (relatively cheap) internal compressor over the intent to avoid exploding the speakers (Peavey 4x10 "+ tweeter) than to really compress the sound. So, have to be careful that the high-volume compressor "food" not too low (especially sensitive to the config 4x10 ').
Mixing lamp / transistor provides some more but unfortunately still remains in the registry "clean sounds." I tried to saturate the head by inflating the output level of my Precision Bass and fucking while back ... ben and we feel that the Hartke does not Designed for saturated and even not for the saturated lgrement!

Chapter versatile if one has an Ibanez 5 string active (agreement on this please!) With a config 1x15 "and 4x10" + tweeter and fingers bcheron Finnish, you can play without the Korn problem I ... and ... if one has a good jazz bass fretless with a 2x15 config 'and fingers to "@! mre his ass, you can also play Pastorius no problem. Sounds!

Finally, a great head, which although it does not look, really brings everything Describes the technical specs: 350W (the really!), Graphic equalizer, unfortunately, but fortunately ultra-efficient, mixing lamp / transistor Tage pramp, compressor (limiter plutt "protector "...), 2 rack units, connection for sound (never used) and to effects return (also used effects has never stinks ...) and the sound Hartke what might be called "stereo" (always nickel, always dynamic ... it's almost exhausting!).

With the exprience, I Rasht this head. Over time, one big regret: no good saturation lamp warm the Ampeg!

Question quality workmanship, effective rglages, DEFINITIONS power and I believe that there is simply no competition for this price (approx. 750). APRS, for grain, it's all got history ...
