The Laney Richter RB2 is a 30-watt bass combo with a 10-inch custom-designed driver and a high-frequency horn, built as the entry point of the current Richter bass combo lineup below the RB3 and RB4. It includes a 3-band EQ and a switchable onboard compressor, aimed at bedroom practice and small rehearsal use rather than gigging, where the larger RB3 (65W, 1x12) or RB4 (165W, 1x15) would be more appropriate.
The Phil Jones Bass BG-75 Double Four is a compact bass combo from PJB's Double Four line, the smallest family in the range. It applies the company's design approach of using small drivers for faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, in an enclosure built for maximum portability. The Double Four line is aimed at practice, rehearsal and quiet performance settings rather than loud stages. It suits bassists who need articulate amplification they can carry easily, particularly upright, fretless and acoustic players where note clarity matters more than low-end weight.
