Hartke B600 60-Watt Bass Combo Amp

Excellent practice amp that will cover small gigs in a pinch (think garage or house parties). Easy to achieve a wide variety of tones and sounds great, especially at low to mid volume levels. Maybe slightly over priced at the $260+ range it is selling for on the internet, but certainly a steal for anything near $200.

Features: 60 watt solid-state practice amp, 12" paper driver, passive and active input jacks, volume, shape, low, mid, and high controls, line out, headphone jack and effects loop. All in a kickback cabinet. Powerful enough for loud practice or very small gig situations.

Sound: Excellent sound quality. All adjustable controls provide a wide range of sounds. Well suited for various styles of play (I play classic rock, metal, blues and country, all doable with this amp). Tone controls require reconfiguration at high volumes to clear up distortion, but it can provide clean sound when cranked up. This limits your tonal variety when playing loud, but it does meet the need. At medium and low volumes, this is a very versatile amp. Far exceeded my expectations.

Durability: I've never had an issue, and it feels like a tank.

Features: Has a combo

Great amp for jamming or big amp for practicing if the amp was smaller or lighter that would be good but..waht u gunna do

Features: 1 shape nob 1 bass nob 1 Mid nob 1 High nob for in my room it has 60 watts and if i put it up to 3 the whole house shakes

Sound: LOUD!! all i can say but its not that buzzy if u turn the high down

Durability: I havent used it live but i think for garages (my stage) it will be very good. The outer shell seems to be really sturdy

I first read about it and when i tried it out i instantly loved it. i compared it with a few others and it wasnt even an issue. it was very affordable for me and it definitely goes above and beyond the call of duty (for me).

Features: 3 range knobs, low mid and high, 1 shape knob for fun. its got an effects loop but ive never gotten to use it. with 60 watts its probably more powerful then anything ill ever need, but its fun. its got this great thick casing too. its something like 40 lbs though which is no fun.

Sound: I just use my peavey patriot with it, and together they sound great. ive tried playing all sorts of stuff onit and no matter what it sounds great. with the shape adjusting option its good for any style i can think of. its a nice adjustment from the crappy squire practice amp i had which was pretty much useless. the sound is ALWAYS crystal clear, never any feedback, and ive turned it up all the way and still had it sound excellent.

Durability: This thing is a ROCK. its still new so ive neve rhad to have it repaired, but i dont see that ever being a problem. its got this great casing around it so you could probably drop thsi thing down a cement staircase and it would be fine.
