Double Bass bass amp question

I use a Hartke VX 3500 4x10 combo amp for my electtric bass. I was wondering if anyone has used a Hartke amp for their d/b. I use a fishman pickup BP 100.

Well,
I used a BP-100 for about a year and you will definitely need a pre-amp. I would suggest the HPF/Pre built by fDeck. Very reasonable. It has a phase reverse, lo cut filter and 10 megohm load. There are now two models. Version II also has a battery status light and a Volume Control. Google Francis Deck.
