Hartke LH1000 & Hydrive Video Demo

Yes, awesome demo! The seamless editing in the beginning while switching guitars and styles was really well done, and gave a great quick preview rundown.

The two negatives of this video are not on you so much as on me:
  1. Now I have GAS for a higher watt amp than either of my 500's. My Hydrive 410 is an 8 ohm version of your setup, so I'm at considerably less power to begin with AND using smaller amps. I've been resisting the urge to throw more power at it, but that sucker is hungry...
  2. After three years on bass, I was finally starting to feel somewhat good about my playing. Watching you in action reminds me of what a noob I still am and how far I have to go.
Thanks again for taking the time to put that demo together, and a BIG congratulations on your rig. It sounds absolutely great.

You are too kind. Glad you enjoyed the demo!
 
That is without doubt the best , most informative demo I have ever seen Pete. I am myself now running an LH 500 with two XL 2x10 (yes for ease of carrying) which I drilled and front ported, bigger gigs paired with an XL 4X10 and maybe the Sansamp. Bravo
