Hartke LX8500 800-watt Bass Lightweight Head with Tube Preamp

The Hartke LX8500 packs 800 watts of bass power into a compact, lightweight head that punches well above its size. The tube preamp section gives you that warm, organic growl and harmonic richness that solid-state preamps struggle to replicate, while the Class D power section keeps the weight manageable for easy transport. It's the best of both worlds -- tube tone without the heavy lifting.

The feature set covers everything a working bassist needs: a 3-band EQ for tone shaping, an effects loop for your pedalboard, XLR direct out for sending your signal to the front of house, and two footswitch jacks for hands-free control. Whether you're playing a small club or a large stage, the LX8500 has the headroom and flexibility to handle it. This is a gigging bass head built for players who demand great tone and reliable performance.
