Hartke Bass Cabs
Anyone used/got one of these :
Hartke 410xl, VX115, or the Transporter cabs 410TP & 115TP.
If so what was your verdict.
Many thanks in advance.

The transporter ones are a bit pants. Servicable certainly, but current used prices mean you can get a 410XL or 4.5XL for about £150.00. And the improvement is massive
The paper cone VX115 only has (IIRC) 150W power rating. Not a good solo cab.
The main issue with the XL series 4x10 is the weight. They are really heavy beasts - but they do sound really really good! The 4.5XL is very similar to the 410XL except for a centre mount tweeter. If you are not looking for a super clear Marcus Miller treble response then you don't need it.
If you can lift it, you can't go wrong with an 410XL
The Reverend Lord Henry was not one of those new-fangled parsons who carry the principles of their vocation uncomfortably into private life.
What Fret said; and the aluminium cones have a very noticeable effect on the sound (more attack, more treble, somehow 'punchier') which you may or may not like; I got one when I joined a G'n'R tribute band ages ago and it definitely did that Duff McKagen thing very well, but if you don't like his bass sound you might not like alu cones.
