What better way to start out a new year than by kicking it into overdrive. We have taken two of Hartke's best pairings, a Hartke LH500 bass head and a AK115 (1x15 in.) bass cabinet, and we even included a 3-foot speaker cable. Get that unique Hartke bass thump coming from aluminum speaker cones and kick your new year with a bang!

Hartke LH500 Bass Amp Head
The LH500, like its big brother, has a classic 12AX7 Class-A tube front-end design with a solid-state output. Developed with the HyDrive cabs in mind, the LH500 also has more than enough power and tone control to drive any cabinet on the market. This amp provides you with Treble and Bass Shelving to give its warm tone a little edge. Or use the brite and limiter switches to further sculpt your sound. Its intuitive front panel also makes adjustments on the fly a breeze.

The LH500 packs a big punch in a portable, roadworthy package. A two-rackspace metal frame chassis, steel faceplate and handles allow for easy, safe transport from gig to gig. With the needs of modern bass players largely centered around volume and versatility, the LH500 is an ideal solution that gives you plenty of options to create the exact sound you're looking for.

Hartke AK115 Speaker Cabinet
Hartke revisits the traditional paper cone driver with the new AK series of bass cabinets. These cabs offer exceptionally warm tone, natural coloration and awesome power thanks to their custom crafted paper cone drivers and specially tuned enclosures.

Hartke is known for innovation and tone, so they're adding the Hartke touch to the classic paper cone driver to keep their line of cabinets as diverse and widely appealing as possible. Hartke designed the new AK series to deliver awesome power and terrific tone for all those paper cone loyalists. AKs are killer cabinets that give you a classic rock tone that you can rely on night after night.

The AK115 houses one 15-inch 400 watt paper cone driver to ensure those deep low frequencies push through with power and clarity. For enhanced performance on the top end, the AK115 also employs a 1-inch titanium compression driver, effectively rounding out the full range of tonal dimensions that can be produced by the bass guitar. The cabinet also provides both parallel Speakon(R) and 1/4-inch inputs for true connecting convenience.

The AK115 has the perfect enclosure to aid in proper dispersion and complement the sound of its speakers. Its specially tuned, ported cabinet design was specifically engineered to extend low frequencies and provide better bass projection, ensuring all the power and tone of the paper drivers is dispersed with great precision and articulation. Plus, with its rugged construction and removable casters, the AK115 is built tough and ready for the road.
