ERIC BASS Shinedown
Making A Difference One Bassist At A Time.
Beginning with legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius, who discovered his
sound through the worlds rst aluminum cone bass cabinet in 1984,
Hartke has always considered the pairing of innovative artists and
technology to be the essence of its business.
In doing so, Hartke has established a complete line of bass gear,
including pro-level bass cabinets, ampliers, combos and accessories,
all with the help of its ever-growing artist roster. One by one, pioneers
(Jack Bruce, Geezer Butler), virtuosos (Billy Sheehan, Victor Wooten,
Stu Hamm), touring giants (Frank Bello, David Ellefson, Eric Bass) and
many others have embraced the Hartke sound in their performance.
As always, Hartke continues to offer the latest advances in bass
technology and new gear for players of all levels and genres, making
a difference one bassist at a time.

to innovative hybrid cone designs,
Hartke Bass Cabinets are the
preferred choice of players from
every musical genre.
