Hartke VX210 / VX115 / HA3500 Setup

I ran across this being sold on craigslist for $450. I am new to bass and wanted to know what to ask / look for when I go look at the amp tomorrow. It is labeled as slightly used, excellent condition.

Any thoughts or tips?

Thanks.
 
That's worth every bit of the asking price IMO as long as there's no problems. Play it good and loud and listen for any Blown speaker noises. Listen for "Farting" noises. Also, play it for a pretty long time to make sure it doesn't have any intermittent problems. I would honestly jump on this one.

That's a nice rig. I used that same head for a large loud show once when My Peavey Blew up. Another Bassist let me borrow it. I was sold on Hartke that day. In defense of the Peavey, I had been beating the piss out of it for 4 years and I got it used.
