The Hartke A100 Limited Edition Silver delivers 100 watts to its 15-inch aluminum bass driver. The Hartke A100 Limited Edition is perfect for use in small venues or home recording studios.

A variable limiter, XLR balanced outputs, passive and active inputs and an effects loop round out the comprehensive features on this versatile combo. And with exceptionally durable construction, the A100 is ready to go wherever you need it to, as a practice amp or a performance amp for smaller venues. The Hartke A100 Limited Edition Bass Amp Combo, Silver Main Features Include: * Delivers 100 watts to its specially designed 15-inch aluminum bass driver * Specially designed cabinet for flat floor use or kickback positioning * Bass and treble plus high-quality 7-band graphic EQ * Line level effects loop send and return jacks for connecting to outboard effects processors * Dedicated CD input to hook up portable CD or MP3 player * Headphone output * Rugged construction for supreme durability * Dimensions: 558mm/22" (H) x 462mm/18.2" (W) x 407mm/16" (D) * Weight: 23kg/50.7lbs"[/i] [b] So, the UPDATED List is:[/b] 1.

Strings will be split into lots of 5 or 10 I imagine. You will get to choose after the first 2 drawn tickets - they win the Hartke amp and pedal in that order, after that it's a free choice Updated list on first post....

stingrayfan Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Is there a list of winners please? (being optimistic....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Matt Of course... If I recall correctly it was: 1st Prize - Hartke A100s Combo went to Pete Young 2nd Prize - Hartke Bass Attack Pedal went to Shockwave 3rd Prize - went to Merton and he chose the 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown' book that was donated by Clarky After that, it was a bit of a blur to be honest! A big thanks to everyone on the Forum who donated stuff for the raffle and also to Gareth at Hartke/Korg! Another bit of good news is that, as I understand it from ped, Bass Guitar Magazine have donated some annual subscriptions that we are going to be able to offer to try to bring the overall amount raised up to as close to £500 as we can.. Not sure how many we have yet but we are going to offer them out at £15 each.. As soon as we get more news, we'll announce it.

OK; we have been very kindly donated five [b]Bass Guitar Magazine[/b] subscriptions that we can offer at [b]£15.00[/b] each which is an absolute bargain! One was taken and paid for by Silddx on the day of the Bash, so that means we have just [b]four[/b] left. It's [b]first come first served[/b] I'm afraid, so if you want one, send a PM or post here!
