Alrighty then. The retailer sent me a new cab just as they said they would do. This one will take whatever I give it, no cutting out whatsoever using the SpeakOn cable. I can still tell a difference between 1/4 inch and SpeakOn tho. Playing with the 1/4 inch cable yields a clear, perfect sound...

My retailer contacted me today, and after telling the tech everything I could about the problem once again, he put me in a conference call with a tech at Hartke. I explained everything again, and told them everything I had tried. Hartke agreed it sounded like a problem in the SpeakOn jack on the...

Ahhh.....I will check into that ASAP later today.

Yessir, balance knob centered. I have played with that & tried it about every position, but doesn't help. I am using the passive channel instead of the active, as I like the sound better, but have tried both. I doubt there is a combination I haven't tried.....lol. Amp at high volume, bass at...

Yep, when using the SpeakOn cable, I set the Bridge switch to "Bridge".

It's not the cable.....already tried a new cable.....something in the speaker cabinet jack or something.....

Well, apparently my hearing sux bad enough that I didn't hear the distortion after the battery change. It IS still there, with both basses when using the SpeakOn cable. 1/4 inch connection works fine. Beginning to get frustrated again, even though the amp sounds great & has more power and punch...

Well, here goes. I did get the new SpeakOn cable, same problem. I talked to the place I got the 4x10 from, and they asked me to try a different head if possible. Got to thinking, and realized the old Peavey TNT 600w amp had a SpeakOn connection for an external speaker. So, I hooked up the Hartke...

I have been so looking forward to getting my Hartke setup completed. I purchased a new Hartke LH1000 a few weeks ago, and have been saving for a new HyDrive 4x10 cabinet, which arrived yesterday. I had also purchased a new SpeakOn cable to connect the two. Got everything connected according to...

Although I have played, or attempted to play bass for a number of years, I am a total tech dunce. I know next to nothing of ohms and all that technical speaker/amp matching wizardry. My question is simple, and laughable to most of you, but I have always been of mind if I don't know, then ask. So...

Been a while since I've been here....posted a question earlier about a Hartke. Anyway, the Peavey is a really good amp actually. I have played it a lot more than I figured I would to begin with. Never really figured I'd be playing out anywhere, but it's pretty much a weekly thing now. The Peavey...

I recently purchased a new Hartke LH1000 head, but have not used it at all yet. Still using my Peavey Tour TNT115 until I get some speakers. Which brings me to my question. I am most likely going to get the Hartke HX410 cabinet to finish up my new amp....but just wondered if there is a much...

Recently picked up a 1997 Fender Jazz American Deluxe. Been away from playing anything at all for many years, but recently got bit by the bass bug again. After getting my Jazz, I of course needed an amp. I really wanted an older tube amp, but at the same time, I know I'll never use it much...

Thanks for all the positive comments! I played a P bass back in the early 70's, but got out of it for many years. I had the opportunity to sit in with a local band a while back when their bass player was sick. It gave me the bug again! Haven't really thought much about buying a bass until this...

Hello all! New here, so please be gentile! Just got this bass today. Been eyeing it for awhile now and finally took the leap. From what I can figure, it is a 1997 Fender American Deluxe Jazz. One guy told me it is a Standard, but everyone else says Deluxe. Best I can figure on the color is...
