Hi all, could you give me some info on the small Laney LX35 practise amp please, what it sounds like, what their price is new and what would be a fair secondhand price for what its worth. Check

    The only way any of us would know those things is doing what you could do: google it.

    Unless someone here owns one, which is possible, but probably not probable. So do a google search, do a bit of research!
      Did it, it looks okay for the price (in $ and £), would just like to know from a users perspective and what they cost locally because I dont know Laney amps
        i can only speak for the laney lc and vc series. they are made in uk and are good amps. they are however not ss or practice amps.

        are you set on this? why not consider roland cubes etc too. think youd be hard pressed to find someone here who owns the lx.

          okay, thanx. No, not set on it, the reason for this is that someone wants to sell a Jackson RR with this amp at a seemingly good price. I've been checking out the Cube's for quite a while now and Marshall's, but some reviews complain about reliability and other issues in the Marshall MX's and they're made in India, so I'm considering a Cube if I don't take the Jackson/Laney deal. I'm moving into town soon and will be needing a small amp, any other suggestions to consider?

            Hey. I hope I'm not too late to help out...

            I own the Laney LX35R, and have done since I started out. There are quite a few advantages, and only a couple of disads.
            Ads:
            • Very robust amp, kickproof grate in front of the speakers
            • very powerful for a 30W amp, I've never had to use it at full volume
            • Compact, easy to carry around
            • Pretty well priced, I got mine new on a special at just over R1,000
            Disads:
            • Being a transistor amp, you won't get the same drive sounds you would get from valves
            • It's not a very "bright" amp, so you usually need to play with your bass right down and your Treble and Mid fairly high (well, that's what I've found)
            In terms of a practice amp, I would recommend it, I've always thought it's a great piece of equipment. For gigging, you may want something a bit more specialised, depending on what you're looking for.

            Hope I could help![/list]
