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.

...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 to purchase a Laney Bass Head for this application. This could prove to be very useful if you would like the extra power of a cabinet but you do not have the money to buy a bass head, ... Read review

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. ...
...fifteen inch speaker aswell, and laney make a matching Richter bass cab with just one 15 for this purpose. I am also very impressed with the build quality of this cab. It is very sturdy, has strong metal handles, and hard wearing corner pieces, which is great because ive bashed it plenty, but the metal corner protecters only have a couple of little scrapes on them. One problem i have with this amp is that it is heavy to carry around. although it ... Read review

...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. ... Read review

Advantages: Does everything, and then some
Disadvantages: A little pricey if all you want is a straight 30 Watt practise amp

This bass amp is tremendous fun if you simply want to play for sheer enjoyment, jamming with friends and trying out different effects, as well as being able to load midi files (backing tracks and so on) from the web and play / practise with them. It is not the cheapest 30 watt kick-back amp around, but it is packed with features and can "model" a host of different amp systems and styles, from valve amps to huge stacks, as well as add a wealth of ...

...and use it with a Marshall 3520 integrated bass amp 200w MOSFET. Initially, I had problems. At mid-volumes the bottom end would fart and lose power. After seeking advice, I was told that the amp couldn't cope with the "low" impedance cab. The amp is rated at 200w at 4 ohms; I measured the cab and found it was 3.4 ohms, slightly less than the 4 ohms stated on the rear plate. I then rewired the cab - two 10" speakers in series, then paralelled with ...
...Stingray (4 string) through it. I bought an Ovation 5 string acoustic bass and found that the internal preamp made the sound too "boomy" through the Marshall gear. I now plug straight into the retuen socket of the effects loop which by passes the amp's preamp. Very happy with it! ... Read review
