ive been playin with it for about a year now and it really packs a punch. it is loud and has a warm tone to it, and the handles on the side make it easy to carry around. when i play with this in my house or in a basement it gets over the guitar and drums easily. i would defiantly recommend this amp.

I had this amp for about 2 and a half years and I been satisfyed since. I have high standards for my equipment and this amp fits it but when moving to the more professional level of preforming it does not really fit the part. It is great for smaller gigs and practice. Would not recommend for recording or larger gigs.

I own them. I have 3 of these combo's. I run to each amp from a Morley A-B-C box. If anyone do this, you will not believe your ears. It is the perfect SWR way to go for bassist who don.t want all of the weight. You won't be sorry.

Great little amp
Posted by Anonymous Musician from Long Island on Jun 26, 2008
Experience w/product: I own it
Reviewer's Background: From the concert hall to the rock club
Reviewer's Play Style: jazz and all kinds of rock
I bought this amp to use with my standup bass in small jazz clubs. I already owned a concert hall / rock club size amp that was way too loud and ungainly for smaller gigs.

The amp has incredible versatility and I soon found myself using it for both small rock and jazz gigs. It's not super light, but its got about the dimensions you can get with a 15" speaker combo. It's been thrown around, sometimes used as a chair, cranked too high etc. etc., and its still going hard and light-years ahead of any similarly priced amps. Great punchy bass tone, and it can really get the full tonal range of both my upright and electric basses. It's the house bass amp for weekly jam sessions I host and I get comments all the time on how great it sounds.

I've heard about people having technical problems with these amps. Perhaps early in the model run the quality control wasn't great, like for the first run of a new car? Just a theory... but mine has never had a problem and I use it hard.

I use my LA-15 for practice and for a top on my road rig. I split my signal to high and low then send the highs through the LA-15 and the lows through a Gallien/Krueger & SWR Working Mans Cab. It works great for me!
