Thanks Man! I was going for the NV215 and pre/power and/or tube head... but the Schroeder's caught my ears big time! No need for any others now! I still have and will keep my Yamaha pre / Crown power amp as an alternate / backup. But the warm glow is soothing :D

(the new "really big box" that's coming out soon might need to be aquired too ;) )
How are you liking that new head? I've always wnated to get my hands on one of those.

Well, it's loaded with a miss matched set of junk tubes I pitied my tech into giving me... and I'm impressed... VERY IMPRESSED! I'll be scoring my full matched set of power tubes and upgraded pre tubes after the holidays. That's when I'll be able to really put it to the test, record and review it :bassist:

Thanks.

Yes it is a Harkte HA4000. Great little, relatively unknown, amphead.

I call it the SMS Harvey combo because I play in a band called "Andy Z and the Spankin' Monkees" and the head is the Hartke and the speakers are out of my Peavey 410TVX.

Thus, Spankin' Monkee Sound, with a Hartke 4000 head and Peavey speakers.

That Harkte head just kicks butt. It's unlike any other Hartke head and it's built like a tank and is quite versatile, tone-wise.

I also use a Mackie Squeeze compressor.

This home-made combo gives me a really nice hi-fi sound. I just got it all put together late last night, so I haven't had a chance to crank it up yet. With my specs/porting I should have the cab tuned to about 35Hz, but I haven't tested it yet. Even if it gets to 40Hz, I'd be happy with it.

It's lighter, even with the head, than the 410TVX cab was alone, plus it's smaller, more manageable and I'll be adding a handle on top and wheels on the back at the angled board on the bottom tonight, so I can just wheel it anywhere I need to.

It was born out of necessity as I'm getting too old to haul big gear around anymore.
