The Laney RB3 is a 65W RMS bass combo amplifier, featuring a custom 12" driver and high-frequency horn. Ideal for practice, recording, rehearsals, or small gigs, this kickback-style amplifier delivers powerful and clear bass tones. The clean preamp offers High/Normal input choices, while the onboard compressor adds punch to your sound. Tone shaping is easy with the 3-band EQ and parametric mid, giving you full control over your bass tone.
