clashcityrocker Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 I don't have a Rick but I have a hartke lh1000 and you don't get much more simple than that,only 4 or 5 knobs but I think you can get a really good variety of sound from it. If your local,you are more than welcome to come try it! Simon Quote
xgsjx Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 A little more & you could pick up a 2nd hand Markbass LMII. Never played a Rick through it though, so maybe worth trying one out first. Quote

I prefer it though a tube head though Quote
chris_b Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Just get one from the FS section. Hartke, Markbass or GK, they'll all be better than the Laney (IMO). Make sure it's at least 500 watts. Quote
Mudpup Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Hartke LH500 Cheap, simple and good. You can pick them up for 350 new and 180 2nd hand if you hunt about. Edited June 10, 2013 by Mudpup Quote
