...it for their main amp, to professionals using it as a small practice amp for arpeggio exercises and quiet playing. Pricing & Availability ---------------------------- I purchased my Laney Hardcore MAX HCM15B Bass Practice Amplifier in a package deal at J.G.Windows in Newcastle Upon Tyne which also included an Ibanez GSR205 5-String Electric Bass. I received a reduction with the amp when I bought the guitar due to it being part of the deal. I have researched pricing in the UK for this amplifier and the recommended retail price of the product is considerably more than this but on many websites and in some shops on the high street this amplifier can be purchased for £90 or less....

Advantages: value for money
Disadvantages: the name if it worries you

...I have owned this guitar for 5 years. It is a cutaway version of the AW300NT. It has the same features, plus a Fishman Sonicore Pickup and Prefix Plus EQ. Mine has a natural finish and has the quality and feel of a professional guitar. It knocks the socks off guitars costing twice the price. Before buying this guitar my preference has always been for electric guitars but I have moved into acoustic blues. This guitar is perfect for this as it has a crisp tone, great to play with plenty of bite when playing with the right hand close to the bridge. I would thoroughly recommend this guitar as it is great to play and is extremely good value for money. Buy this one you will not regret it.... Read review

(Honest...) Anyway the EDC705BP, what can I say....? I went into a shop to spend roughly £250 on a 5 string and spent £550. Doh! (p.s. it was suppossed to retail at £600 but the shop owner had put the wrong Prices on two Ibanez's and so I got the expensive one for the price of the next one down. if that makes any sense?) The first thing to say about this guitar is TONE!! The Eq's on it are awsome, From fat solid bass to punchy, top end, slappable twang! A wierd thing though if you turn all the knobs to certain possitions and then play with the outer dial of the bridge pickup you can get a fun waa-waa like... Read review
