Hartke 5 String Bass Demo/Review with my new (to me) Fender BXR 100 amp

[RageicaNiels]

a 9?!! not going to lie.. this bass sounded really dull and boring!

[greengtrs]

@RageicaNiels You misunderstood...this video went with an eBay listing...the 9 was the condition (as in very clean...hardly any handling marks), not how I thought it rated against other basses...

@RageicaNiels Really great sounding bass. 9.5 Not dull not boring.

i like the way guys taste

Sweet bass! My music teacher gave me one of these, not too bad. It's a Hartke with blacke tuners and hardware, with a maroon finish on it. The one thibg I have trouble with is how loud the bridge pickup is. I usually have both pickups on (their like jazz bass pickups, with covers like yours,) but besides that, I like it, what with body shape and what not. I like to pretend it's a Rickenbacker 4003 , though. : )

Its a WK-5 streed rod. I have one myself.

Got it in2001. Good bass indeed. Needed a lot of adjustment do. Love its sound. It needs a Passive/Active switch.Than the bass is near perfection.

Greetings from Holland.

It was a really nice bass. They didn't get any respect because of the name...it wasn't like it needed to be named Hartke as it was financed by Sam Ash...they should have used another name and they would still probably be making them. They were awesome for the money. And I wish just about all Active basses had a bypass to Passive...depending on your mood or needs or even if your battery dies or gets weak...that would be nice. Thanks for watching!

does the bass sound that "twanggy" or is it because u dint cut ur fingernails lol. but cool vid anyway.

[greengtrs]

Thanks! It probably sounds twangy because I like that sound and set the amp and bass controls like that and I also play close to the bridge area vs. the neck area...and I also don't cut my nails short on my right hand since I am a guitar player and do a lot of finger style playing.

[jaqetall]

all the instruments on the back are yours?

[greengtrs]

Sort of...technically they belong to "greengtrs" the business and not me personally...but I get to play them while I have them. The back line these days is even nicer...check out some of the more recent videos. Thanks for watching!

Very Nice Collection of Guitars. Including the Dean ML RazorBack

[greengtrs]

Just now seeing your comment. The back-round looks much better lately...I buy and sell guitars to support me and my kids. Thanks for watching!

[Maht25]

have you ever played a spector bass?

[greengtrs]

I actually have a demo for a NS2A on here somewhere...search my videos...and I've played many, many, many over the years...I love them! I worked with PJ (from Spector...I think he probably owns about 50 of them...) for a while. Thanks for watching!

i played one a while ago at my friends graduation party, some guy had one and it was just amazing, the name escapes me right now, but i know that it sounded glorious and just felt right.

and i meet a guy who knows Stewert and he was telling me about their basses. too bad i'm a highschool kid with zero funding. but the Epiphone Les paul bass i have isn't all that bad.
