Hartke VX410 Bass Cabinet

Comments about Hartke VX410 4x10" Bass Speaker Cabinet:

I've owned my VX4X10 cab for 3+ yrs and found that combining this cabinet with another cabinet will get you anywhere you wanna go.

I have paired this cab with 3 other cabinet configurations to help achieve the sound and tones I require for each gig. I use a Hartke HA4000 Head, BBE MaxCom Compressor and Sonic Maximizer, Furman Power Conditioner, and Line 6 BassPod Pro. A Yamaha RBX 5 string bass and a Heavily Customized/Modified Peavey Millenium 4 string.

I prefer a pairing of either a VX 2X12 or 1X18 (Custom EV) cabinet set up. Running dual 4X10s is fine for Country, Blues, Jazz, and Classic Rock gigs. Otherwise if you run odd tunings, play ERB, or Progressive Metal and need deep bottom end sounds try a 2X12, 2X15, or 1X18 set up.

I bought this speaker cabinet as a back up to my Peavey cabinet and, the peavey has (2) 8" scorpions and (1) 15" Black widow. I really enjoyed the highs from this speaker but, you will have to buy something else if your preference is a heavy bottom end. This is a great speaker if you like the sound of Getty Lee or Flea on bass. Unfortunately not everyone playes like either of those two listed. If your job is to lock it up with the drummer, playing 1/8 notes with an occassional spotlight on the bass, this is not the speaker for you.

This is a very solid cab. I play in a metal band that has gained a decent number of fans locally, and through the 15-20 shows I've played in my 1 year and change in the band, this cab has showed up every time. I use it with the 2500 head, and I get good, punchy lows as well as crisp highs. The only negative I have with the amp is that there are no wheels which it isn't impossible to transport without, but it would definitely be much easier.

When I bought this i played at home and thought it was GREAT!! But soon enough when i was playing at my church and we would play loud, this cabinet cant go loud and have a deep sound at the same time. it is good but too have its flaws.

This cabinet is ok in a small enviroment. Great mids and highs. Doesn't like exteneded range basses (6 and 7 stings). BUT!!! if you you put it with the VX215, you have a completely rounded out rig for less than 600.00 bucks. All the highs and mids you need with the 10's and horn plus the earth shaking bass of the 15's. If you have the means to move around both cabinets, get both. Otherwise, the VX215 is a better bet. Make sure you have an amp with ample power. Despite the price, this is a professional's cabinet and it'll give you what you want if you supply it with what it needs. (250+ watts)

This bass cabinet is good but only for at home use. It sounds good when you're at home, but is you go to a gig, you would not get that deep tone bass you would want. Bottom line is I would suggest this cabinet to a beginner but definitely not a pro.

I Just Bought a VX410 cab last week, i already used for a gig and the sound is amazing, but the best thing is the price, for that price you cannot find anything so good.

Bought one VX410 cab 2 weeks ago [...]. As for the cabinet,..it is great. I will be adding another VX410 in a month or two,..it is the perfect match for my Hartke HA4000 head. I get a complete array of highs and lows with this cab and the harmonics ring well. I "might" add a 1 or 2X15 cab instead of an additional 4X10. I won't yet make a final decision but I am still leaning towards the additional VX410. I was really surprised how nice this cab sounds. Reminds me of my days playing through a Sunn Colisuem with a 4X10 and 1X15 cab. I am sold on Hartke !! Thanks Larry for a great product[...]. Rock On !

i bought this amp along with the 3500 head and at first i liked it. i took it home and plugged in my fender american p bass and it playeed pretty well but i only had it on 1 or 2. then i played a show with it with my band and it sounded horrible. personally, i like my tone to have great deep lows with a nice crisp high end to hold down the bottom but keep the sound noticable. it had no deep end at all and too much mid. so i went back and returned it for the vx 2x15 and was never happier. the vx 2x15 is the perfect cabinet for any music. it has incredible lows with crisp highs and mids. you can get any type of sound you would like out of that amp. i say check both amps out before buying.
