    Hartke Pro 2200 NEO Conversion!

    noted, regardless of the math, considering the OG speakers were rated at 120W, it's a considerable upgrade of the same cab i have been using with my 800w Mesa head for a long while now and definitely sounds better

    Hartke Pro 2200 NEO Conversion!

    I thought I had blown my upper speaker in my 2200, so after some research, I replaced the stock Hartke speakers (I couldn't find replacements) in my 2200 with Eminence 12LFAs, which I believe are PA subs.

    The Official Hagstrom Bass Club

    Lurked here for a while but just found this thread. Here's my Beluga IIF, which i got on a fluke. Turns out i actually love it, great playing bass, other than the somewhat limp pickups/tone controls. I replaced the annoying rotary pickup selector with a Freeway gearshift, which was a huge...

It is VERY noisy on its own and when i try to place it in my signal chain it makes any other true bypass pedal before OR after it POP very loudly when engaging. Should i return...
