Hartke's KB12 Kickback bass combo amp is easy to tilt back for sublime clarity without floor rumbling -- making it a perfect choice for on-stage monitoring.

Hartke KB12 Kickback Bass Combo
The classic Hartke Kickback 12 Bass Combo that has backed up bass pros in the studio and on stage for years just got better, a whole lot better! The new Hartke KB12 Kickback Bass Combo features the added muscle of a 500 watt Class D power amp and a premium 12" HyDrive speaker for extraordinary performance in a ruggedly portable, high power, tilt-back package.

The HyDrive Design
The KB12's 12" HyDrive speaker features Hartke's patented paper/aluminum hybrid cone technology for an exceptional blend of warmth and transient attack that can't be attained by traditional all-paper bass speakers. The use of rare earth neodymium magnets provides lightweight portability without sacrificing any of the legendary Hartke tone.

Shape Your Tone
Designed to produce a responsive bass tone that's both tight and warm, the KB12 preamp provides users with comprehensive tone control. Quickly dial in tone adjustments with the perfectly tuned 3-band EQ and Hartke's exclusive variable "Shape" circuit. When activated, the "Shape" knob varies the frequency range of a unique, fixed EQ curve that generates a dramatic variety of tone, color, and harmonics.

Kickback Versatility
In addition to sitting upright, the KB12 can be placed in the "kickback" position for better on-stage monitoring and clarity. The KB12 also features a headphone output for practice and a balanced XLR direct output to the mixer for live performance. With all new high power amps and HyDrive speakers, the new Hartke KB12, and its big brother the KB15, have re-defined the standard for professional bass combos.
