"Hartke 5500 Bass Amplifier"

Sound: To me, it is one of the best amps I've ever played though. Plently of volume and excellent tone, especially through my 2x15 cabinet. Feature: It has all I require. Set the EQ, hook up my chorus pedal, and I'm ready to go. Quality: It looks good and seems to be well built. Hopefully it won't crap put like my Ampeg did. Value: Like I said above, the best amp I've played through. I really like Hartke gear. Excellent value. Can't beat the price. The Wow Factor: I wish they had this amp years ago. Would have saved me a lot of grief. I think I will be using nothing but Hartke equipment from now on. Overall: Unless this amp dies a horrible death, or some jackass manages to steal it (not a wise decision on their part, trust me,) I don't see myself replace this.

Style of Music: Electronic based rock with New Wave, Classic Rock, & Gothic influences.

"GREAT BASS AMP FOR THE MONEY"

Sound: Sounds loud and clean...you can get many different attractive sounds out of this amp...if ya don't like the sound then maybe it's your bass...low battery in active pick-ups will produce an unattractive distortion... Feature: It's got tons of features for $600 you can't go wrong Ease of Use: Very easy to use...dial in the sound and volume ya want and play.......it's not rocket science! Quality: I've had no problems with this amp so far (2 years) hoping it will last about 20 years... Value: I'm 42 and I've bought alot of equipment in 24 years or so...I think some makers of music equipment like Gibson, AMPEG, and many others Inflat there prices...You can say ya get what ya pay for...but some companies take advantage of this and some companies give alot of value for the Money... I think Hartke, Behringer, and Ibanez are companies that have been around for a long time, they build good equipment and there Not breaking the bank...They understand musicians at our level are poor MF's Manufacturer Support: have Not needed any help, so i don't know how to grade this one... I write a 5 but it could be better or worse The Wow Factor: I think this thing looks great Overall: I wanted an attractive, powerful, geat sounding bass amp for less than $1000 this is the one...I run it on a Hartke 2x12 cab.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
