800 Watt Monster Bass Amp: Hartke LX8500

[@tomikuusla925]

I’m a bass player, I can’t afford an amp head that costs twice as much as my car. And with my car I mean my bike. And with “my” bike I mean the bike I found.

Lmao that was good

I'd sell you one of my Fender/Sunn Bassman 1200S pretty cheap for the cause but you'd go twice as broke flaming out every voice coil you accidentally nudge the volume knob on so I'm saving you money by not even offering it to you lol my neighbors know I've got TWO ha ha haaaaaaaa

@@porcelainthunder2213 I agree more bassists need to change the strings more often, but you assholes really need to realize that a set of bass strings cost between $25 and $65 a set. I am in the market for a set of 5 flats and the cost is between $35 and $70 for one set depending on the brand.

So, to test guitar sounds you bring in that kid that plays beautifully, but if it's bass you can butcher it yourself, huh? Classic! Nice amp btw

[@AndrewStonerock]

Like it. I think in the future manufacturers should figure out how to do the drive on a split crossover. Set the low frequency and distort everything above it. You know, that old studio trick.

[@ThrashingBasskill]

It boggles me that darkglass seems to be the only company being interested in doing this inside a pedal... I don't like the distorsion character of the x series (much more the b3k) but without a Tyler from kma, a seperate distorsion pedal and a compressorpedal there are not many options from what I know.

0:00 - 0:06 - I expected something like "a fresh set of strings, but that's not what this episode is about".

[@martinportelance138]

I got a couple set of string I carry with the bass - a 'fresh' set of strings for when it counts, another set of strings about a year older, for practices and jams, that I can boil if I feel cheap, plus a set of flats (I don't like using a bridge foam), all at the same med-heavy gauge. There's no shame in changing strings, and it often makes more of a tonal difference than changing basses. :-)

[@shuruff904]

Boil em lmao Edit: didn't read your comment all the way...honestly boiling strings is probably the dumbest sh*t anyone has ever fallen for online as far as bass. WTF are you guys playing on diamond dipped strings??? Again. Wtf. I can't even.

[@martinportelance138]

​@@shuruff904 Then why did you? Boiling bass strings removes the grime (yeah I play with my fingers, these same fingers which rolled the last one). Of course it doesn't make them new, just like washing your car doesn't make it new. Kind of obvious, really.

[@MarkCharlesLamendola]

update! btw.. called Hartke, one tube! .. first a little background.. I’ve had an HA3500 for many years.. so, inspite of some negative points you’ve made about this amp and yes you’ve made positive!! I bought the 500 watt model. I have several great bass’s but particularly my 76 Stingray has more highend then probably any other bass! ..so regarding the bright switch hiss.. I have the amp set all 12o’clock..the bass eq dimed.. no hiss! with bright engaged. ok also.. played a 3 hour ( no breaks ) outdoors last night with 2 electric acoustic guitars and vocals.. low volume gig.. I’m sure the fan had gone on after all it was 85 degrees when we started FLA! Never heard it !! btw one Aguilar 12 cab.. mid gig one guitar player says to me “damn your bass sounds perfect” ok.. none of my basses will make the gain light up red unless I add a bass DI on the front end and crank it.. but I read that from a lot of players.. who cares right?! I run the Drive at about 3 and I love compression so it’s pretty much dimed! .. lastely I had a friend come by.. plays with Nikko.. yeah that NIKKO on drums.. only plays SVT.. played through the Hartke for about a half hour.. says Wow that sounds great!!’ 😊 btw: Saw Billy Shehann this past weekend Winery Dogs with his Hartke arsenal.. all hail Billy! met him at NAMM a few times, nice man! ok that’s all Kirk Out!

[@JLP-ORIGINALS]

I bought this thing a little over 4 months ago. Sounds pretty good for the portability and light weight..but after 4 months it quit working. I was at a gig. Turned it on..no sound. Had to play from my pedalboard to PA to get thru the gig. 30 days out of warranty to take it back ..so I have to track down an authorized repair place and see if they can fix it. I went back to my trusty LH1000 which is now close to same price and way better rig..just heavy. If I get LX8500 Fixed I ll be selling it. Reliability is number 1 for me. Our band works a lot and I can't afford to have shoddy gear

Hartke makes great gear. It's on my dream list for bass gear, but it's hard to justify when I have a working amp and cab I've had for 25 years.

[@doobiouscannibis]

I play on Hartke cabs in the cover band. Part of my band leader's huge gear collection. We got it hooked up to this sick ass Carvin head. No one ever has a complaint about my bass. Hell, our manager plays bass in another band and he's always gotta play around with our gear and my Sire bass after gigs lol.

[@sqlb3rn]

Hartke is great, def gonna take another look at this amp. Love my LH1000 and HyDrive 410 tho. My tone is mostly generated on my pedalboard (split lo/hi signals), and I wanted a clean powerful transparent bass amp for it. People rave over darkglass heads, but with the preamp built into the amp head, I don't see any way to easily/affordably split the signal for separate processing on the lo and hi end, and I don't want that distortion applied to my whole signal. So I prefer to use darkglass pedals that way I can put the preamp (and other fx) wherever I want. No matter how drippy and wet I make the hi end, that clean compressed fundamental bass is always solid. Shout out to Trey at GG for showing the Tyler Splitter on his bass pedalboard build.

[@johnnyq1233]

There is certainly something special about the Hartke sound!!! I played one many years ago and fell in love with those aluminum drivers and the punch of these amps. It is one of those qualities I look for when shopping for and amp... Unfortunately, my wallet doesn't allow me to take one of these home! I'm in the traynor isle!!!!

[@morecomfterblur1390]

I have a Carvin 500watt Pro Bass amp. It is 20 years old. It has all the same features as that Hartke plus a 5 band graphic EQ, noise gate, frequency crossover/4db boost to any frequency and separate high - low input for active or passive basses. The transformer is teroidial. The best amp I've ever played through. CARVIN baby!

[@russellzauner]

@@joshua.merrill getting good demos of a variety of bass pedals/effects instead of the occasional whatever's being pushed by whoever would be great. and honestly, I'd use some of the bass pedals on regular or extended range guitar - some of them are nasty and get even nastier right where I want my low 7th or 8th string to be. If you can keep from bleeding too much over into the bass players actual spectrum, using those bois can make your grunty pig punch through at a gig.

[@joshua.merrill]

I tried the Alpha Omicron on my Schecter JL-7, and it surprised me how lackluster it sounded. I figured the drop E tuning would sound great, but something about it was sub par. I need to make some videos of the different gear I have. For bass, the current setup is a 5 string with Bartolini Active pickups tuned an octave lower (E0), into a Countryman DI, into the Alpha Omicron, into a MicroThumpinator, into an Ampeg PF-50T, into an Acme Low B-1 cab. The main distortion comes from the pedal, because the PF-50T doesn't distort very much, at least not with my bass; it has a little crunch to it, but not anything that would hold up as a distorted bass tone for Metal, in my opinion.

[@liamjenkins82]

Hey mate. I'm no pro bass player, but I ended getting this exact amp head after my pf 500 head blew. ( my 4 year old switched red voltage switch on the back) I absolutely love how much tonal variety out of the hartke I can get with no pedals. It's light as hell and loud. Really has got some power. Just ask the neighbours. It's good for quiet practising to with the headphones and aux inlets. Has all the bells and whistles on the back for connecting to whatever it is you need to connect to.

[@MadMatter]

What a coincidence, I just recently bought its little brother, the LX5500. Absolutely love it. My only real complaint is the lack of footswitch capability compared to its 8500 big brother. Given the price difference (and that I didn't need the extra power), I decided the tradeoff was worth it to me, as footswitchable drive and brite functions would just be "nice to haves".

[@Visiondistorted]

Thanks to Glenn I buy a set a strings bi weekly and learned to setup my bass. And.....I practice! Great video!

[@Ahrayeph]

When I was doing live sessions with a Top 40 band for a few - well paid - gigs in Germany back in the latter '90's, I had a late 70's Fender Dual Showman Reverb as my guitar amp. Since the 2x15 cab was too unwieldy to slog along to the gigs, the band's bass player gave me his Hartke 2x10 cab to use as a substitute. I didn't really trust it giving me a good sound with the aluminium cones, but guess what? I had a pretty great, tight guitar sound with a nice thumping-but-not-flabby bottom end. Just the right amount of 'chug'. It sounded so good, I even considered getting a Hartke 2x10 cab myself, but as I was always short of cash I never got around to it, and I wanted my Showman to remain complete. Well, until I got a Marshall 30th Anniversary blue tolex 4x12 cab anyway (which I still own; sadly, I sold the Showman). Bottom line : we as guitar players should expermiment a bit more with amp/cab set ups. Using a bass cab might - emphasis on 'might' - give you a positive result you didn't even know you wanted.

[@flatfeelings]

Ha! Hartke Bass attack preamp was the only thing I discovered that made the sound I wanted from ANY bass laying around. If you have your hands growing from your shoulders, not hips, of course. With this amp, I see most of the useful stuff from Bass attack + compressor. Great gear if it's in right hands :)

More distorted then I like. I just got back into playing built my rack 20 years ago and glad it's still working. Behringer compressor, sans amp rbi and qsc 1450 rmx. Using a ampeg 410hlf and peavey 1516 (not 900 watt version). Most heads I tried when my gk 800 died had to much bleh for my 5 string. Went to current set up and got a good clean tone. Had a budget hartke 410 way back in day good sounding cab but lost it in a fire.

[@rogerj7327]

Had a hartke 2x10 cabinet years ago. Nice unit, but you need to be careful if you live in the cold climate regions. The aluminum cones were prone to cracking at the outer edge if the speakers were really cold when you started wailing away through them. Again,, this was many moons ago,, so it might not be an issue anymore.

In my opinion, 4 x 10 cabinets sound the best for base. Back in the early 1980s, I played through a Fender baseman ten.

[@jesuguru2394]

They sound great if you're in front of them, but have weak off-axis performance due to comb filtering in the side-by-side tens. Better off stacking 2 210's vertically - same volume, better horizontal dispersion, less footprint.

[@rhodridavies9426]
