Hartke B60

60 W low amp transistors.
Bowl 12 "
Inputs: 1 active + 1 passive
An effects loop, output Line out, headphone output.
Fairly basic settings, volume, 3-band equalizer, but with a button that adjusts the frequency likely medium (shape) of fundamental importance in the sound of this amp.

Quite heavy (yes, bowl 12 "forces), not super sophisticated finish.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, sounds easily exploitable

Huge influence Button "shape" of the overall sound.

SOUNDS

The B60 medium suitable to my style of music.
I wanted to sound big and strong, fairly basic. Outside, the B60 looks more comfortable with bass sounds more contemporary, more adapted to slap with acute that can ride.

To find the sound I want, I have to work with the knobs almost completely. It works like this, but I have little shot of possible settings.

Otherwise, the amp is powerful enough, he must make his 60 Watts.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the B60 for 10 years. I tried to square the circle: an amp too loud (I play bass for fun in an apartment) but with a good foundation. So how to find an amp with a bowl of 15 "(for good sounds very serious) but not powerful?, And also not too expensive?

Result: a compromise
A known brand but an entry level (in 2600 USD at the time).
An amp powerful enough to stir a bowl of 12 ", which will give serious (certainly less than 15") without deafening my building without changing windows.

At the time, I made the choice to buy a pretty good bass (Stingray) with an amplifier means that the opposite term,
- I keep the bass (and must therefore find comfortable)
- I will change the amp to the largest (if I live isolated in the countryside to make all the noise I want!).

OVERALL OPINION

I have the B60 for 2 years. I was looking to square the circle: an amp not too noisy (I play bass for fun in an apartment) but with a good seat. So how to find an amp with a bowl of 15 "(for good sound very serious), but not powerful? And not too expensive too?

Rsultat: a compromise
A known brand but an entry-level (in the era 2600 USD).
Amp powerful enough to stir a bowl of 12 "which will give serious (although less than 15") without muting my building and without changing the windows.

In the era, I decided to buy a good low plutt (StingRay) with an amplifier means, that the opposite end,
