Bass Attack Introduction and Features
Introduction
Wow Man! You just bought the coolest and most useful tool a bass player can own, the Hartke
Bass Attack! The Bass Attack is a serious pre-amp and DI that provides dual functionality by
incorporating great front-end tone shaping, along with a super-clean balanced direct output to
send to your recorder or Front-Of-House mixer. You can dial-in a wide range of sound, thanks
to Hartke’s VXL Tone-Shaper circuitry, which features a powerful three-band equalizer, plus a
Harmonics control with Mix that lets you add a little bit of warmth, or all the way to complete
grung. You also get the world famous Hartke Shape circuit that will enable you to further con-
trol your tone and get the sound that’s just right for your music. If you’re playing live, you can
take advantage of the two footswitches that let you change your sound by engaging the Shape
or Harmonics. The Bass Attack has extensive input and output connectors including 1/4-inch
inputs, balanced XLR Direct Output and 1/4-inch Parallel Output, providing maximum flexibility
for patching in to amps, mixer and recorders. The Bass Attack is perfectly at home in the studio
or on the road. In fact, the aluminum extrusion and steel chassis ensure solid performance from
night-to-night and venue-to venue. Whether you are recording or playing live, the Bass Attack
by Hartke will give you the sound you’ve been looking for.
