I keep it close and love it the most!

My "big rig" that I use for large indoor and outside venues is a Trace Elliot 300 watt head (57 lbs.) and a Hartke 410 XL bass cabinet (86 lbs). The Hartke KB 12 has great tonal quality and percussive punch that sounds really close to my "big rig" and it only weighs 28 lbs!! Granted that at some point the Hartke reaches it's one 12'' speaker limit, but I was surprised just how loud this little monster can get without losing its exceptional tonal quality. From now on, this is my amp of choice on gigs. With a little PA system support, I can do just about any gig with the KB 12 without carrying the 143 lb back-breaker "big rig." Get smart and go light. I highly recommend the Hartke KB 12!

Love this amp. Great sound, plenty of power, very lightweight. Used it at an outside gig last Saturday night and it sounded amazing. Highly Recommended!!!

This amp sounds great. Light weight but big sound. Only negative is that there is no aux in jack.

The full 3-band EQ that the Hartke Kickback KB12 lets you set the sound you need for your live shows without having to carry a big bass amp. lessen you load without sacrificing sound.

This is a terrific lightweight bass amp with incredible tone and a lot more volume than you would expect from something so small and lightweight. When it comes to combo amps, having a kickback is a must for me. The speaker is very durable (a hybrid of paper and aluminum) so it stands up to the 500w amp inside the combo. Having a direct XLR out is also very useful for live shows so you can run straight into the house board for easy control of your sound. This is a real hands on product review by Steve at Sam Ash Music in Lyndhurst, OH.

Much like the 15" variant, this guy gives you powerful but tighter bass. You compromise with a little earlier rolloff, but the overall tightness and compact form factor make this guy really worth it. Youve got great control parameters to shape your tone, and don't be afraid to plug in a synth, especially Moog! Push it to the limits and watch as it won't even break a sweat!

Great amp for practice at home or playing live on stage! Good amount of power (500 watts) so its great for jamming with the band or playing small venues. For larger shows, you can run a line out from the amp to the house PA and get more volume and power! Compact and portable with awesome, versatile sound quality.

This is an awesome combo amp for the price. The sound is huge and it's easy to carry for gigging musicians. The tone controls are versatile and easy to use and there are no frills. I'd recommend this to anyone who plays gigs or just wants something loud to practice with at home.
