Not sure if I should have started a whole new topic here so apologies, but I want to get feedback from people who own this specific amp or have played one before. Given that it's only a few quid more (reconditioned model) than an Ashdown EB15-180 it might be worth considering. I was reading reviews on Harmony-Central and they don't seem to be the most reliable. Anyone have any issues with them?

[quote name='mikeh' post='192523' date='May 5 2008, 10:32 PM']In my experience the Laneys are very underpowered for their rating, youd be suprised how loud that Rumble 100 can get. I used a Rumble at a gig once, it was to about 250 people without PA support and it was plenty loud enough. Id say out of the ones suggested best bets are the fender or Ashdown. I've been meaning to buy one of the Fenders for years as a back up but something always comes up!!![/quote] How's about the sound becoming distorted when they're cranked up?

Well there's no slap in our songs. I played the Laney RB4 and liked it. I haven't played the Ashdown EB15-180 or the Fender Rumble and haven't seen them in stock anywhere. Tends to just be Marshalls and Laney's around. Few Fenders and Ashdowns but not the Rumble of EB models. Supposing I was to take peoples advice here and forget about the Laney and choose between the Ashdown and the Fender Rumble, what would be the better of the two? The Fender Rumble 100 and 100/210 are only 100 watts but the Ashdown is 180. Is there much difference in sound because right now I'm tempted to go for the Rumble 100/210 over the Ashdown due to reviews, the RRP is so high leading me to believe it's better quality and the Ashdown is so ugly. I'm tempted to go for the Ashdown because like with the Rumble it's got good reviews and the 80 watt extra head room over the Fender would come in handy. That said, I haven't really found a reason not to go for the Laney RB4 except that the other amps have come in so highly recommended. Since I can't play the others but have played the Laney it might make sense for me to just go for it. And yay Gak do deliver overseas

Looking at Gak's website there and I don't think they ship outside of the UK. Doesn't have a section on shipping info....I could just be blind though.

They're 444Euro new online which is out of my range at the moment.

Hmmm....cheers. I'd neglected the idea of a Fender as I really dislike their guitar amps. But I'll check them out now.

Hey all. I'm a newbie to bass (been playing guitar for close to 10 years). So, I'm looking for a decent amp. It will be mostly used for practicing with a drum kit, vox and two 100 watt amps. The volume won't be up too high as we'll be practicing in a mates house. Gigging will be a good few months off and when we do gig if an amp wasn't provided I'd plan on using the PA. Some other bassists I've talked to have said that for what I want 60watts should be ok but I'm unsure. The bass plays a very active role in the songs since I've always been a lead guitarist and it's hard for me to stop being a self-indulgent w***er and resign myself to an accompaniment role I'm a fan of Laney amps. I love their guitar amps but their reputation with bass differs from person to person. I've narrowed my choice down to the following models: Laney Richter RB3 / RB4 (budget could extend as far as the RB4) Warwick Blue Cab 60 Ashdown T15-180S [url="http://www.thomann.de/ie/ashdown_t15180s.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/ie/ashdown_t15180s.htm[/url] Any help and other recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers.
