Hartke XK4 Bass, Excellent, with hard case

This superb quality Hartke bass is in mint condition, and they're already reaching cult status.  They're unusual and unique and really stand out from the crowd. Hard to find, especially in the UK.

Designed to Larry Hartke's specifications and featuring high quality components throughout. This precision instrument features a Poplar body coupled to a Vaccaro double T-Bar aluminium component neck system with a rock maple neck shell that provides a familiar feel and easy playability. This unique neck system consists of a lightweight aluminium aircraft extrusion welded to an aluminium triple-plated chrome headstock. It not only ensures maximum resistance to atmospheric conditions and string tension, it provides exceptionally long sustain and tuning stability over the long run. 

A Rosewood fretboard with ultra fat action neck finish and Nickel-Silver frets further enhance playability while the XK-4's Zero-fret design provides flawless open string response. 

To best capture its extraordinary sustain, tone and presence, the XK-4 is equipped with high performance passive pickups and active electronics. Other features include dual volume controls; concentric bass/treble tone controls; a chrome bridge and tuning machines and a brushed aluminium finish pickguard. Like the XL-4, there is a lifetime guarantee on the neck assembly.
