Hi guys,
New here on the forum! I'm just gonna bombard you all with a brain splitting dilemma I'm struggling with the last few weeks. I've been on non-active for the past 7 years, and I sold all my gear, up to the last cable, mainly due to finances being too tight. A year ago I decided I could no longer live without playing the bass, and ended up buying a 2006 Warwick Corvette $$, in perfect condition, for a mere 700€. It's one hell of a bass!
While it was relatively easy to pick the bass I really desired, the choice of an amp isn't.....
I've filtered the rigs locally available secondhand down to 2 choices:
First is a Gallien Krueger RBX 410 with a Markbass Multi Amp S
Second is a complete Hartke rig: HA5500 with a VX410 and VX115
The GK/Markbass solution seems by far the better, with the included effects in the head, and simply the quality overall, but the price is pretty steep for my budget.
The Hartke setup is quite cheap, just 500€ for the whole rig, and it's in perfect shape.
With the endless lockdowns going on it's impractical to go and test these heads/cabs at the seller's houses, so all I've heard/read comes from internet.
Can I ask you guys for all your experience with these heads/cabs? Hoping to finally pull the trigger on either of both!
Thanks in advance!
