Desirability:
Man, you guys really know what you're doing. This piece of wood is the best looking I,ve ever seen.I just want to congratulate the craftsman of this fine looking bass guitar, I don't think I'll ever have the money or oportunity to buy it:(, (and I feel really sorry about that 'cause I hink it's a real smash!),but I just can't leave without saying a few words about this baby:) This is like... it looks perfect! it's the dream of every rock bassist (at least for the beginners like me) I can't think of anything that looks better and I also like the 24 frets feature. That's really rare to be seen on bass guitars and it gives much more space to play and expand! The best looking bass I've ever seen! Definetly. Maybe one day when I end up with 300 bucks in my hands and I don't know what to do with them, I'll call you and I'll have the damn piece at last! Untill then... Bye and take care:)

Feature:
buying a bass along with an amp right away is great

Quality:
who can argue with a black color

Value:
worth every penny, but mine only lasted me a year before i moved on to a better bass.

Desirability:
?

Sound:
Great starter bass, it takes a while to break it in. the buzzing is obnoxious for a while, but it eventually goes away. it's a great bass for beginners, but only for beginners.

Support:
didn't really need to contact them, they offered a decent warranty though

Overall:
it's a great bass for beginners, but only for beginners. after about 6 months i had to do some minor repairs on it myself, and i broke a lot of strings, A LOT of strings. the guts pulled out and fried after about a year, I figured it'd cost more than the bass itself to get it fixed so i moved on to another bass

Feature:
There was no lack of features on the guitar. It has the master volume, the p style pickup volume, and the j style pickup volume also, which is very standard on a regular bass guitar. I like the bridge, cause it is fully ajustable. With the bridgeican put my strings up in the air, down kissing the fretboard, and everywhere in between with ease.

Quality:
The product is made well, considering the price. One thing that was defective, was the cable. it is very thin and shorted out quickly. But thats no big deal. Also, the 1/4 plug outlet where you plug the cable into the guitar, totally came apart. Luckily ihad a friend that knew how to repair it.other than them 2 defects, it was made well.

Value:
This produst is a very good value for the money.

Desirability:
I wanted this product, becuase it came with so much, for so little dough. It can get u started playing the bass. I liked the jet black finish,cause- well i dont know why i just did. It sounds tough and looks cool. i liked it because it had both style pick-ups

Sound:
This package from Hartke is an awesome value. The sound that comes from the guitar is very nice, and you can ajust the pickups volume for the perfect sound. the sound is awesome for the money. After i got passed my "beginner" stages of playing bass, i armed my guitar with a 50 watt amp. the sound quality was better with the bigger amp.

Support:
i havent dealt with the company that made the product. My defects were so minor, i didnt need their help. i gave them a 10 because they are prolly good and helpful.

Overall:
I ve had this product for 1 year now. Throughout this year, i have aquired just a new amp, and a new cable. If it was lost or stolen, i prolly would get the something different, becuase i get sick of something if i have it a long time. If i had a red corvette for 2 years, i would get rid of it and get the same exact thing , only in green. Im never satisfied

Feature:
This package came with a cord, strap, and a leather case. the cord sucked in my opinion, as well as the strap. The leather case was pretty good i think.

Quality:
Well well well.... The bass is kinda taking a poop on me after 3 years. Its still working, and sounding great, but right where you plug the cord into the bass is falling apart... And my bridge is messing up to, but i have excuses for all this damage!! The bass didnt come like this, i just dropped it and gigged with it, and on accident hit it on a wall trying to walk ith my bass around the house. The amp is awesome still to this day!! not one thing was wrong with it the day i got it,all the way till now.. Besides the crackling and popping, its all very good.

Value:
In my opinion this is the best thing you could buy on the market right now( i mean packages, not cabinets and stuff)

Desirability:
THIS PACKAGE IS A STUD!!!!

Sound:
Well the first 2~3 years I had the amp it sounded very crisp, clean, smooth, punchy, and clear. Once I hit the 3 year point, i heard some crackling and buzzing. Over all, it has very good sound, it matches my slapping style, along with my fast death metal style.

Support:
Have never needed it once in all these years...

Overall:
In my opinion, I would say every begginer~intermidiate bassist should own this package!! well right now i own a Hartke 1400bass head along with a Hartke 210TP cabinet.. I still use the bass because it kicks ass, but i dont use the amp as much because its not loud enough for gigs and jamming with a drummer. I stil use it in my bedroom though...

comes as a package deal. all inclusive...good value. its what lead me to this deal, that and the price.

Quality:
screws comee loose sometimes....not recommended for anything but practice.

Value:
overall a good package. the bass is great, but the amp is so-so.

Desirability:
great package deal. so i made this my choice...and i stand by it.

Sound:
not to soft and not to hard. but the amp is a bit of a let down, it crackles and fuzzes. it was either this or the peavey microbass...i regret the choice.

Support:
i didnt order from here so i dont know

Overall:
not bad. its great for beginers, but ull need a better bass when you get good!

Feature:
The strap that came with it is excellent it holds really well and is not week. the amp is a great practice amp especially for beginers.

Quality:
it's made great but one of the bolts holding the part where you put the leed always came loose and i lost it so i replaced it with anotherone but besids that it is excellent.

Value:
you wouldn't be able to find a better deal that is this great in quality.

Desirability:
it is good looking but i have seen better.

Sound:
it has great sound and holds notes great. This bass is probably made for songs that you can really jam to not soft easy songs.

Support:
i couldn't get my waranty because you could only get it if you are an american but i'm australiaa.

Overall:
i think i will probably keep this for another 4 years maybe even longer.

Feature:
yeah it came with loads og featres, except the cord insert unscrewed and the amp cord insert came loose.

Quality:
Hartke is one of my favorite companies and almost everything they make is durable and good quality. I take it too all of my shows when my band goes on tour and nuthing too bad has happened yet.

Value:
I couldve chose between this and a Fender Precision Bass, and i chose this on. I thought to myself, "but Fenders are more expensive and are supposed to sound better" but the truth is this bass is the best for the price, and can still compete with basses twicw or three times as high!

Desirability:
This product is just to die for man,its a punk rockers dream bass

Sound:
It sounds awsome, well at least for what i play ( punk, alternative, grunge) It has the perfect punchy sound you look for in a bass.

Support:
i needed to replace some screws and fix the insert, but i didnt wanna wait 30 days, so i fixed em myself.

Overall:
I think the score speaks for itself
