Luuurrrrvvve my Hartke HA350. It was bought on here. I play it through a Hartke VX210 ( bought on here) and an Ashdown MAG115 (bought on here) and its awesome. The DI output went awol in a biggish 200+ venue so I just played without and nobody even knew! ( Think the vocal mikes were helping a bit though ) Get a great Jean Paul sound on the Stranglers cover by winding the high pass up. All in all superb range and power to spare. C

Just gutted

Hiya I found myself in your position last year with an identcal piece of kit. I'd bought the EB180-15 combo to rehearse with in a small cellar, which was more than enough power on tap. I started to struggle when we started gigging competing with 2 guitarists, I was hitting lots of red lights on the VU !! I decided to add an extension speaker and got a Hartke VX210. TBH I didn't notice too much difference on stage. I ended up buying a Hartke HA350 amp and used the 2x10 with this for smaller gigs and band rehearsals and have added another 1 X15 cab for max revs!! What I'm saying is - think it through before you add an extension cab, it might be worth buying a bigger amp altogether if you're going down the gigging route because you're going to come to a stage sooner or later where the EB is out of its depth. I use mine for home practice these days and obviously its there as back-up if required. C PS my extension cab was 8ohms

Thanks for that Gareth Seemed to be working ok last night... Will take it to the local guys to test. C

Hiya.. Yes mate. Tried 3 in total. C

Been advised to ask this question on here.. Didn't know this bit existed!! Just did a gig with a 'proper' sound engineer who advised me that he was getting no signal from my D.I. output from my Hartke ha3500. This worked fine 2 weeks ago. Any ideas what could have happened and is it potentially an expensive repair? In anticipation!!!! C

Cheers mate - is he on here? C

Hiya guys... Did a gig last week where we had the priviledge of a superb sound rig and also a sound man. I use a Hartke HA3500 and he could get no signal from my D.I. output. ( Checked it with at least 3 different leads ) It worked last time I used it (about 2 weeks ago ). Any ideas why this could be and what is the prognosis??? Is it a potentially expensive repair? Regards C

I have a friend who's addicted to basschat too... If you've got any advice for trying to quit I'll happily pass it on......

I think its a bit overpriced too.... I paid £200.00 for a HA3500 head ( off here) which is in much better condition with case. I got a 2X10 VX series cab ( off here) 250 watt for £80.00. I got a MAG 115 ( off here ) 250 watt for £80.00 so do the maths.... Unless you're all too generous ( on here!)

I use one of these with a Hartke 2X10 cab and Ashdown MAG 115 and I've not had it above half volume for some large pubs competing with a mic'd drum kit and loud guitarist using 2 2X12 Blackstar cabs. If we go to bigger venues then it will go through the PA anyway. You must be making alot of racket for it not to be loud enough!

I'm a big Randy fan! Lovely lad. Great high register harmonies ( why does the bass player always cop for these?) Bullied out of the band by his 'superiors'.

He's using a Ric on the Hotel California live one from 1976.Half-way through the geetar solo Felder and Walsh start laughing. Apparently Felder said ' You've got coke on your nose!' No surprises there then! C
