The Hydrives have been getting pretty good reviews on here, and I played the combos the other day and they sounded amazing.

Hartke gear is good stuff. Relible, good tone and as was said earlier, good customer service. Also, while I don't know about the newer Peavey combos, Peavey stuff normally lasts forever and I'd bet their new combo would be a workhorse.

| | | | I was thinking about holding out for the peavey but the ship date is unknown. Im going up to my local dealer tonight and trying the hartke out. When I had my hartke I got lucky and didnt get one with cold solder problems on the board. From the sounds of it they fixed that problem. |

I love mine. I play two basses through it, my 'wick $$ and my Scjhecter Elite Custom (throw in a few more adjectives if you like) 004.
Polar opposites, the $$ is deep & growly like you'd expect and the Schecter is high and tinny (in a good way, hard to explain) and they are both very distinct through this amp. I love the 2x10 with the tweeter in there. Mmmm Mmmm good. |

| | | | I have no beef with schecter got a white c4 elite thats my pride and joy and a SRX470 that I knock around. |

| | | | Ive had bad bad luck with G & K gear then again it was the backline series if the MB is more reliable its worth a look I guess. |

You can get it for a steal of a price and it'll probably outlive the human race.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: omaha, ne | | | Discontinued, but I played a used Fender 400 Pro 2x10 the other day that really impressed me with its great deep tone and good volume. Lots of knobs (comparatively), but sounded great set flat.
I'm typically an SVT-Classic-with-a-Fridge guy, and most combos I demo fail miserably, but I could see myself gigging with one of these.

| | | | Its times like this I wish brook mays didnt go under, I used to be a purchaser for them and I loved the peavey line. I would be set on their new 600 watt tnt tour if they would ever release it. And I completely understand the ampeg and fridge set up my old rig was a ampeg svt 4 with a 1980's birch mesa boogie 2 15 bass cab. I would get another but after having my jam space robbed a while back and losing it im on a much tighter budget lol. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
