"This is seriously the best quality and best deal you will get!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i think i will probably keep this for another 4 years maybe even longer.
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support

"Great for begginners"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
didn't really need to contact them, they offered a decent warranty though

"good package, but not great"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
not bad. its great for beginers, but ull need a better bass when you get good!
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support

"BEST PACKAGE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
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...
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.
Features
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)
Manufacturer Support
Have never needed it once in all these years...

THIS PACKAGE IS A STUD!!!!

"The Best Bass Around Punchy.Marching.Loud.Good Amplifier Comes With It too."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I think the score speaks for itself
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.
Features
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!
Manufacturer Support
i needed to replace some screws and fix the insert, but i didnt wanna wait 30 days, so i fixed em myself.
The Wow Factor
This product is just to die for man,its a punk rockers dream bass

"Good quality bass package for the money."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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
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.
Features
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.
Manufacturer 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.
The Wow Factor
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

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:)
