Members NHLfan2010 Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hey guys, I am in the market for a new amp (my Hartke 3500 crapped out on me). I think I have it narrowed down pretty good, I am looking at the Hartke LH500 and the Carvin BX500. I was wondering who out there has used each, or better yet both. What are the differences between the two/etc. I play a lot of worship music and in general I like my tone warm and fat but still smooth and clean. My philosophy is that I will add dirt/fuzz/woolyness later if I want any. What would you all say? And anything else you would recommend in the price range and maybe a little above? Any feedback is helpful. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members perrydabassman Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 I think looking in that particular price range, I would go with this before either of those...... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/peavey-headliner-600w-bass-amp-head/h73351000000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work across the parking lot from a GC but nothing yet. Bought an Ampeg PF-350 for rehearsals and it's working fine.NHLFan, if you can't wait go over to talkbass and you'll find a TON of reviews on the Carvin, Hartke and Ampeg PF amps. I've seen ads for the Ampeg PF-500 as low as 330 bucks brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
