NAD : HARTKE LH500

[neeko]

Hi there,

just wanted to share my NAD :

Hartke LH500 with my dirty old Ampeg SVT-15E cab.
I was GASsing on it for a few weeks and spent some nights, searching for infos on TB.

Tried it this morning with my BDDI and an ampeg 610 too.

No regrets ! Sounds warm, clean and powerful. I still have to find correct settings with the BDDI, but the first impression is really cool !

Congratulations! And thanks for the rig pic. Seeing it is always better than hearing about it.

Congrats and enjoy! Looks like you're on the right track for a good starting point as far as EQ goes.

Yes. I think so. I don't like the HA3500 that stands at our reahersal too. I Hardly find a correct sound without tweaking all settings.

Congrats. I love mine. It's a great sounding head. I have a Hartke ak115 cab that is due to arrive today to go with my amp. Enjoy yours!

Hi all,
Here's the same one with some "mod" (and Frozen Princess Elsa):

Where did you get that cool faceplate & rack case

 

[neeko]

I did everything by myself :
- the head case
- the painting of the face plate with new chicken head knobs.
- the tolex covering
I changed the grill cloth for a Invalid Link Removed.

You should leave it the way it is.

This is amazing. You should be doing this as a career if you aren't already. I am so impressed by this.

Thanks Dude,
(unfortunately ?) It's only a hobby. I've made this mod to match with my self made bass (my avatar and here)
