MGR/Jack Elliott (Ignorance Bassist) « Laney Richter R5 »
Published on 12/25/03 at 15:00Got it for £395 online at The GAK.
Almost Everything!
The amp is small and portable, its as tall as my practice amp and about twice as long, its really quite small. Despite this, its powerful enough to fill most venues, 300W is loud enough to cover small-medium venues. Anything bigger and youll have a PA anyway. There are 2x10" speakers and a horn that sound bright and punchy. Theres a DI and an effects loop, as well as a speaker and tuner out. Also comes with a built in compressor, limiter and 4-band parametric eq. I use it with the R115 ext cab underneath. The 15" compliments the 10s wonderfully and I get a full, rich sound.
Its heavier than it looks, but I suppose it looks light! Sounds a little dry when by itself, but a touch of effects sorts that right out.
Seems well built and reliable, sturdy wood, corners and jacks. The covering bothers me slightly, its not tolex its some sort of tolex substitute. And the seems of the stuff arent joined to each other neatly. It should hold up, time will tell.
Seems like a mule. Nothing famcy, but powerful and hardworking, will keep going forever. A good, solid workhorse from which to build your rig.
