Moos3h Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Typical internet answer: Why these two? Are you buying these for a home practise amp? If you're not and you want to gig or even rehearse with either, I would strongly recommend you reconsider and look for something with more power. Otherwise, if you're looking for a practise amp, buy whichever you prefer the sound of. Cheers! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) As much as I love Fender they don't do entry level amps that well from what I've tried. Laney are less likely to be a case of paying for the name & are much better than they were in the 80s. My local shop swears by Laney bass amps & I briefly owned a Laney bass combo which was fine. My advice is try both & pick what [b]you[/b] think feels right. Edited February 16, 2010 by BurritoBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I agree with Moos, neither of these amps are really man enough for gigging. If that's what you want it for you may be better looking for used. Having said that, I used to go to an open mic noght where the supplied bass amp was a Laney RB3 and it sounded surprisingly good. It didn't produce any earth shaking lows but it held it's own against the drummers and up to about 5 additional musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanRLS Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I wont be using it for gigging, so the combination of what you guys have said and some of the reviews have made me decide on the laney, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
