The Laney Richter RB3 is a 65-watt bass combo in a wedge-shaped kickback cabinet design, loaded with a custom 12-inch driver and horn tweeter, letting players angle the cabinet upward when placed on the floor for better on-stage monitoring. It offers high/normal input gain options, an onboard compressor, 3-band EQ with parametric mid control, an FX loop, AUX input, headphone socket, and XLR DI output, aimed at practice, recording, rehearsal, or small gigs. It's a later-generation successor to the earlier RBW100 in Laney's Richter bass amp lineage, sharing the wedge kickback format but with updated preamp features.
The Laney RBW100 is an earlier-generation 65-watt bass combo from Laney's Richter lineup, produced roughly 1999-2003, built in a carpet-covered wedge-shaped cabinet that could be angled for stage monitoring, the same kickback format later carried forward into the RB3. It features active and passive inputs, gain control, an onboard compressor, parametric frequency and gain controls, a treble control, headphone output, and DI input. As the predecessor design in the line, it established the wedge-format bass combo concept that Laney continued to refine in subsequent Richter series releases.
