    tc electronic bh250 - new micro head!

    I sent the serial number (12406563) to Thomann and they told me to send the amp back. I also contacted the service center in Helsinki (Soundtools Oy) and they told me that they can't check the serial numbers and that I don't have to get the amp checked out unless it has a problem. I suppose...

    tc electronic bh250 - new micro head!

    I just ordered one from Musikhaus Thomann. Are the amps sold after 21st January OK even though they might have been sitting in the retailers warehouse for some time?

    2nd Bass: Squier CV '50s, VM TB or VM Jag?

    +1. I bought one as a backup bass. It became my nr.1 bass and now I'm looking for another one as backup. All my other basses (with the exception of my Harmony H22) sound thin and anemic compared to this. I've owned new and vintage Fenders, Rickenbackers, MusicMan basses and a lot of other...

    Just ordered a Hartke 5210c.....

    I have one. I use it with a HyDrive 115 as a stack. Great combination. I've never used it on it's own on a gig.

    How much experience do you have...?

    More than a handful, less than hundreds. Guild Thunderbass, Fender Bassman, Fender PS 300, Marshall 100W Superbass, Marshall Major.

    You know you're playing too hard/loud when...

    When your spare bass vibrates off it's stand and falls over on stage. Happened to me last Friday. :hmm:

    Fender Weird Inward-Firing 412 Cab- Any Love?

    I had one in the 80's. The original speakers were crap. I put EV's in mine. Sounded OK, but way too big and heavy. Modern cabs sound better at half the weight/size/price.

    Hartke Hydrive combo amps

    I use a 5210C + HX115 as my gig rig. I'm very happy with it. It's easy to transport and the setup at the gig is fast. Sounds great and is loud enough for the places I play.

    Hartke HyDrive 5410c

    I have a 5210C. I run it with a HyDrive 115 cab. Great rig! Easy to transport and set up at a gig.

    You wouldn't happen to have a picture? I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

    Tuning down to B-E-A-D

    I need to go lower than E in a couple of songs. I don't want to buy a 5-string bass. Could I buy a set of strings for a 5 and use the B, E, A and D strings on an old Tokai Jazz that I have? I obviously have to file the nut and set the intonation. Is there anything else I need to know/do?

    Are all Hartke HA3500's junk?

    I have a HA3500. I run it with Hartke XL210 and XL115 cabs. It's surprisingly loud IMO.

    How to avoid onstage mistakes?

    If you're drinkin' you might also be stinkin'. Don't look at the set list to see what the next song is while you're playing the previous one. Make sure that you can hear yourself and the guitar on stage. You shouldn't be playing G instead of F# without noticing it.

    Should I get Hartke HA3500 or LH-500 ?

    I own both. If I had to choose one it would be the LH-500.

    New Hartke LH500 with a "Buzz"

    What brand of tubes are original in the LH500? I could of course open my 5210C and take a look but getting the info here would be easier.

    What would you do...?

    "Eventually, the counterfeit will change hands. Knowlegde of it's original identity will be forgotten. It will take on the appearence of an original to all except the most knowledgeable. This, makes counterfeiting in the first place wrong. Why is this so hard to see?" You kind of answered...

    Have anyone played on an 18" cab?

    My rig back in the day: 2 1x18" cabs (loaded with EVM-18) 2 Marshall 4x12" bass cabs 1 Fender PS300 tube amp 1 Marshall Major Plenty of low end and volume but not very sensible compared to today's stuff.

    Pay a tech but amp is not repaired?

    I had a similar situation recently. The guy actually just wanted to get paid for the parts that he used but I insisted on paying him a bit more. Why should he work for free?

    i'm not a bass player and don't play one on tv...

    This would be perfect for a beginner. Powerful enough for playing with a band which is what you want to do as soon as possible as a bass player.

    Your thoughts on newer Hartke gear

    Love the new Hartke gear! I liked the older stuff as well. I use a 5210C combo + a HyDrive 115 cab for gigs. Lightweight, easy and fast to set up. Sounds great. I have an older HA3500 + Hartke 210 and 115 for rehearsals. And a Kickback 120 for small gigs and low-volume jams. My main bass...

    Hartke Club?

    NAD! I found a HA3500 today for a good price. B-rig: HA3500 + Hartke 210 + Hartke 115.

    Why Combos?

    I have a Hartke 5210C combo (+ a HyDrive 115 cab). Why? Because Hartke doesn't make a HyDrive 210 cab.
  36. G

    Hartke Club?

    You don't have to get an LH1000 for a two cab setup, but I would if I was getting a 410+410 stack. Depends on how much volume you need.
  37. G

    Hartke Club?

    You can't really go wrong with any of those configurations. I have a 5210C + HyDrive 115 cab. I haven't gone above 5 on the volume knob on any gig yet. PS I found a Hartke Transient Attack 2x10 cab today for 100 EUR. :hyper::hyper:
