From Our Research Team:

The Classic Original Kickback Bass Amp

The Hartke Kickback 12 invites you to kickback and listen to the bass! These Hartke combos may look laid back, but the sound has got more jump than an NBA tip-off, giving up Hartke's classic, much-admired bass sound in an innovative and versatile package. You can stand these combos upright or tilt them back to serve as a monitor. However you use the Kickback 12, it's excellent for a huge range of applications, from rehearsing solo to playing gigs. Both the Kickback 12 and the Kickback 15 have fully adjustable Shape control features and 3-band EQ. You also get active/passive inputs and more. The Kickback 12 gives you more big bottom than Spinal Tap, with a 12" aluminum-cone driver and a house-quaking sound. And it's also very affordable!

Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Amp Features:
  • "Two-way" (upright and tilt-back) cabinet design for performance, practice and monitoring
  • Custom Hartke 12" aluminum-cone driver
  • 120 watts at 8 ohms
  • Unique "Shape" control for accurate tone-shaping
  • 3-band EQ
  • Passive/active input jack
  • Balanced XLR out
  • Dimensions: 19"(H) X 15.5"(W) X 16"(D)
  • Weight: 47 lb.

After owning all the 'best' amps in the world, regardless of cost, this little sucker keeps providing me with the best overall sound and value. I now own 3 of these and take one with me everywhere. ... read more [+]From the studio to the gigs, I am never let down. A great monitor configuration, XLR out, headphone out (may be used as tuner out) and infinite EQ options are its best features. The speaker holds up well with a drummer and two guitarists. It will damage your ears before it damages itself - be careful!

Hartke better keep making these. The model has been around for almost 20 years and Larry Hartke himself provides tremendous service if necessary. close [-]

This "little" amp comes with a big sound that will fill up small to medium sized gigs. The tonal clarity is astounding thanks to the aluminum cone speaker.

Music Background: I keep a day job but am always in a band that goes out and plays
I have been using this amp for 9 years playing mostly upright bass and banjo and even electric bass on stage. With the electric bass I used this little amp to power up a 4x10 cabinet.
