We know you don’t like reading owners manuals, but you’ve just purchased one of the finest bass amplifiers around, and we want to tell you about it! So, before you plug in and start popping and slapping, we’d like to suggest you take just a few moments out to scan these pages. We’ll make it as painless as possible, we promise—and , who knows, you might just pick up a tip or two.
The B Series is a powerful combo amplifier which includes a matched 8-ohm bass speaker in a specially designed cabinet. It’s the perfect system for use in small venues such as club dates and for home recording studio. Plus, its dedicated headphone output makes it an awesome practice amp!
There are five different models in the B Series, and this manual covers them all. The B20 is the baby of the family; it's got a 20-watt amp and an 8" speaker. Next up is the B30, which has a 30-watt amp and a 10" speaker. Jumping to twice the power, the B60 pumps 60 watts into a 12" speaker. The B90 delivers a full 90 watts of bone-rattling power into a 15" speaker. And the big brother is the B120, which tops out at 120 masssive watts and has two 12" speakers for extra low end power and dispersion. Whichever of these models you’ve purchased, you’re assured of that great Hartke sound and robust construction.
In these pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the many features of your B Series Combo Bass Amplifier, as well as a guided tour through its front and rear panels, step-by-step instructions for setting up and using the amp, additional information about equalization and a unique Shape control (provided in the B60, B60 and B120 models), plus full specifications.
