Hartke LH1000 Bass Amplifier
The LH1000 has a classic 12AX7 Class-A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Trick out the Treble and Bass Shelving to give its warm tone a little edge, or use the brite and limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front panel design also makes adjustments on the fly a breeze. Although the LH1000 is a perfect complement to our HyDrive cabinets, it also works as a seamless accompaniment to any bass cab on the market.

Nice step up from a combo amp Had the LH500 for a few days now, overall very satisfied. Using it thru two separate Ampeg 1×15 cabs, with my passive Lakland DJ5 bass. Sounds really good. TONS of power. I couldn’t even imagine what the LH1000 with an active bass must be like. Unless you are powering two or more 8×10 cabs, I think the LH500 will be all the power anyone would need and plenty more. With my bass’s 2 volume pots at ~50% and the amp on 2 or 3, it’s plenty loud. The EQ on the amp is a little less sensitive…
I happy about the quality of this amp. I spent a lot of time researching because I was on a budget. I am glad I chose this one. It feels very solid, rugged and well made. I am also happy I can mount this to a rack someday if i choose. I picked this one over the 3500 because of the additional power. I also heard that the new 3500’s are not as good as the classic ones. I am playing out of a less-than-top-of-the-line 8 Ohm 4×10, in a punk rock band, and I usually crank this to about 7 or 8, and it…
