From Our Research Team:

Kick Back and Catch the Bass

The Hartke Kickback 15 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 15, 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 15 gives you more big bottom than Spinal Tap, with a 15" aluminum-cone driver and a house-quaking sound. And it's also very affordable!

Hartke Kickback 15 Bass Amp Features:
  • "Two-way" (upright and tilt-back) cabinet design for performance, practice and monitoring
  • Custom Hartke 15" 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: 21.75"(H) X 18"(W) X 16.75"(D)
  • Weight: 47 lb.

Great little amp

by Greg Youtsey from Seattle, WA
February 25, 2010
Music Background: Pro musician for over 40 years
I bought one of these because it had the best bass response for it's size of all the amps that I tried. I later found another one at a great price. One of these amps is all you'll need for most small ... read more [+]gigs but by adding another one you can handle just about anything. After 40 years I finally have a great sounding rig that will fit in the trunk of my sports car. close [-]

One Stop Amp Shopping!

I would give this amp 5 stars except I don't like the handle on top, I wish it had handles on the sides, or back casters and a pull handle would be nice. But to rat it as it is it is a 5 star amp. I ... read more [+]bought mine used. It had a couple of small problem's that were easy to fix thanks to Hartke's unique easy access design. These were conection problems from being giged, and nothing to do with the quality of this great amp. It's loud it midrangy, it's bassy and in your face. Great for small to med gigs or even big ones with a line out. close [-]

Great all around amp

by Gregory D. from Cleveland, OH

Music Background: Pro Musician
I've owned this amp for 5 years and it's been a gem. It's not much for deep, low end growl, however, it excels at punchy, low-midrange to midrange frequencies. The kickback wedge design allows for g... read more [+]ood portability...I can fit this baby into the passenger seat of my truck. Controls are straight forward and simple...the way it should be! I've successfully used this amp for band practice as well as small gigs. If you plan to gig...get the 15 instead of the 12....much more low end. My only issue with Hartke is that some of the small parts on their products don't last too long (handle and plug jack just busted on me).
It won't replaced a big pro rig...but it's great for smaller events where you just don't need to lug around all that heavy stuff. Just plug in and go. Every bass player should have something like this. close [-]

Not a bad amp,But after less than a years use she quit on me. Think it may be the power supply ,I'll find out after she comes back from the repair shop.

You can keep your edens,G&Ks and swr.For a bass amp this size, this amp is a steal. However I wouldn't pay 750.00 for it which is what the manufacturer suggests. But I do love this amp close [-]
