Hartke B20

I purchaised this amp for £80 (I live in the UK and don't the the price in Dollars) and I had it with a Fender Standard P-Bass (Which was £320) and all together came to £400. I purchased at a shop called "Music Station" and i had bought it because the guy at the shop recommended it and it was the only amp left in the shop.

It has a nice sound as Hartke have a reputation for making good quality amps. It's all I need for playing punk/metal. It has two input sockets: one for passive and one for active basses. It also has a headphone socket, two output sockets and a socket for an effects pedal.

Heavier than other amplifiyers that I've used before. Only 4 different controls: Volume, Bass, Mid and High. No really bad things to say about it.

After using it for two weeks, the input socket fell out and I spent two and a half months waiting to get a replacement from the shop. It's very tough as I have accidently dropped it down a staircase and it plays just as when a first used it.

Good quality amp. Identicle to the B30 except smaller and less powerful. Good value for money and a nice practice amp. Obviously you'd need to get a more powerful amp for gigs though!
