Hi, I have a Hartke HA5500 which I absolutely love. The only problem I have with it is that it produces a white hissing noise. I'm almost positive this is coming from the tube preamp (being that when I turn it down the hissing stops). Is there any way to repair this? I love the bright warm...

Ok, thanks all!

Ok awesome! For running parallel: Without using effects would it possible to damage the cab even if you cranked it? Wouldn't you, even then, be under its max capability?

Ok, so individually I wouldn't damage the cab unless I cranked up the volume a ton, but using them in parallel I'll be totally fine if I crank it up? The way people described plugging an amp into a lower wattage cab made it sound like I would damage immediately without even playing.

I know theres a ton of threads already on this subject (I've read a lot of them), but a few seemed to contradict each other and I'm a nub when it comes to this stuff so I figured I'd post this to get some finite answers. I bought a Hartke HA5500 head and am about to buy two Hartke Hydrve 112s...

Thanks so much for the help :)

I'll look into that amp, thanks. What I like about the HA series is the built in compressor and graphical eq... something I'm not finding with a lot of other amps. I just checked, they do ship the 3500 still but I think I might just pick up the 5500 (found it used online for about 300). I'm...

Ok, thanks for the help. You mentioned the LH500? Any other amps I should take a look at?

Ok, I think I'll look into saving up for the two 12s then. As long as I'm going that far up.... what are thoughts on the 410 hydrive vs 212 hydrive? Also, would the AH2500 be enough to power that? Or would I have to upgrade to the AH3500? (I personally prefer the AH series over the LH from...

My budget is a little low (no more than $800), and I need a setup that can play small-medium gigs with a drummer and electric guitar. For now I've been looking at getting a Hartke Hydrive 112 cab and Hartke AH2500 Amp. To me the cabinet looks a little small, but all the reviews I've looked at...

Hi, I've been playing bass for about 2 years now with a very cheap setup.... Squier Vintage Jazz Bass and an Ampeg 108 combo amp (I borrow a friend's Ashdown for gigs). I don't want to keep having to borrow my friends amp and I want a crisper tone (his amp is a 1x15"). So what I'm looking for...
