Hartke 3500C Bass Guitar Amplifier Head, 350 Watts
Found on stages all over the world, the Hartke 3500 bass amplifier is back in classic black. Yet, it retains all the same rock-solid performance and features as the original that have made it one of the most popular bass amplifiers of all time. The 3500’s unique circuitry ensures that every nuance of your bass performance is faithfully reproduced. Featuring two Pre-Amp input knobs, allowing custom blending of tube and solid state tone, and ten-band graphic EQ, the 3500 is ideal for the player who wants plenty of power and control. But we don’t stop there. A dedicated preset button allows you to set a equalization curve and two fully adjustable contour knobs provide even more shaping of your distinctive sound. A built-in compressor adds real “punch” to your bass sound, and also allows you to smooth out volume differences between notes. Rugged construction and professional features make the 3500 totally road-worthy. Two independent inputs accommodate both passive and active bass guitars. LEDs that show you the settings of the graphic equalizer in low-light environments as well as a two-color LED that continuously shows the status of the compression circuitry in response to your playing. Electronically balanced direct output provides routing signal to professional mixing consoles for both live performance and recording environments. A ground lift switch helps prevent hum or buzz from entering the signal, and a pre/post switch allows the direct signal to be derived either before or after the amp EQ section. With all the features you need for complete tonal control, along with ample power and rugged design, the 3500 will ensure complete bass euphoria no matter what kind of music you play.

Gets The Job Done I used to have an American-built Hartke 3500 bass amp, purchased in 1995, giving 19 years of near flawless performance until 2014, when it started giving me harsh popping noises. I decided to give Hartke another try, and bought a newer Chinese made 5500 version. I’ve used it for a few gigs now, and sounds more full than the original 3500. The volume doesn’t seem much diferent that the older 350 watt amp, but the tones seem to be thicker and fatter than the 3500.The front panel controls are…
I would have LOVED to have such an amp Powerful, but noisy and heavy.Has pro features: compression, EQ, line out. Reasonably priced for its output!Just too noisy and heavy for me. Thirty years ago, I would have LOVED to have such an amp. Technology has progressed since then.That doesn’t make this bad! In fact it is BETTER than many newer cheap “class-D” amps that claim mega-watt output but short us on delivery.Controls are intuitive, assuming you understand what they do. Too many tyros…
