Used Hartke LX5500 500 Watt Bass Head Open Box Save!

Hartke Tone Stacked

Capture the character of your bass guitar as soon as you plug it in with the Hartke Tone Stack EQ, designed specifically for rich bass tone. The preamp includes the familiar bass and treble controls, plus a Frequency and Shape knob for extensive midrange control. The Brite button can be engaged to boost high frequencies, bringing out the top end of the bass and highlighting natural harmonic overtones for a distinct, vibrant sound.

Total Control

The LX5500 features two essential onboard effects designed to enhance your playing and add additional options to your sonic arsenal. An integrated Drive control gives you the option of mixing in a comfortable amount of grit or maxing it out for a healthy dose of fuzzy goodness. Dial in just the right amount of compression to add punch and presence to your attack, or smooth out transients for players who use slapping, tapping, and thumb picking techniques.

The Ins and Outs

Lightweight enough to take anywhere and versatile enough to use in any setup, the LX5500 is the ideal amplifier for stage and rehearsal. An XLR direct output with pre and post EQ selection allows direct connection to a PA or recording console. An 1/8" headphone output is ideal for quiet practice sessions, while an 1/8" auxiliary input can be used to connect phones or MP3 players.
