Laney is not lame-y
Review of Laney RBH700 by
robm
Advantages: Good Tone, Comprehensive EQ, Cheap
Disadvantages: Unreliable, Quite low power
...everything. it is more of a problem when the amp is moved, which is a big problem when gigging because i have to wait a while before the amp will play. i should have sent it back but the warranty has probably expired now.
but in the end i can always get the amp to play, and it doesnt bother me enough to send it back.
overall i think this amp is great and very cheap. the power rating of 165W is quite low in comparison to some bass amps, but again for the cahs is very good, and has been easily loud enough for quite large gigs. also i dont think that all laney products would be this unreliable otherwise they wouldnt sell.
i would definately recommend this amp, especially if you are on a budget, but if it plays up be sure to send it straight back....

This amp covers all basses!
Review of Laney Hardcore MAX HCM15B Bass Practice Amplifier by
MatthewForshaw
Advantages: Wide Tonal Range, Quality Construction, Price
Disadvantages: No Reverb
...Features
------------
The Laney Hardcore MAX HCM15B contains a wide range of features which makes it an excellent combo practice amp or an amp for a small performance. The amp features a 15watt custom 8” driver which is more than adequate for its application and can get to amazing volumes with no distortion, onboard headphone controller and compressor. The amp also features a CD/Line input jack and Bass/ Swept Middle/Treble/Master knobs. The only feature I would have like to see featured in this amp is Reverb although this is available with many other models.
Expandability
-------------------
The Laney Hardcore MAX HCM15B Bass Practice Amplifier is very expandable as it enables the connection of an additional bass cab utilising the existing inputs although for the price of the additional cab you would probably be best...

Richter rocks my socks
Review of Laney RBC410 by
robm
Advantages: Great sound, loud, great price.
Disadvantages: Heavy! also poor handle position.
...The Laney RBC410 is a bass speaker cabinet from the Richter range. I has 4 10 inch speakers and a tweeter, and can handle 240 Watts of power.
The RBC is designed to be used in conjunction with the RBH700 head amplifier, and like the RBH, the RBC is excellent value for money. At a mere £280 (maybe less if you shop around), you wont find a brand new 4 by 10 for any cheaper. And even though its a cheap price, the quality of the product is not cheap.
The range of sounds from this cab is excellent as it has a wide frequency range.
The tweeter adds greatly to the frequency range, and it is switchable. Personally, i dont like to have much treble on my sound, so i turn the tweeter off, which means that the switch is a great feature for me.
The 10 inch speakers may not be as good as a 15 inch speaker for low end, but they can...
