Laney amp ?

[Death55]

My friend has found a laney 100watt amp. It has two speakers each giving out 50watts. They will sell it to him for £100. I dont know what model it is but from what i've said does anyone think thats a good deal ?

I'd not touch it with a barge pole !

I had a Laney "Mighty Fifty" in the early eighties and it was rubbish.
Spent more time broken than working !

Laney makes some reliable stuff these days, so how old it is makes a difference. John Lowery of Marilyn Manson uses a laney VH100r and it get smashed and set on fire and thrown around and other such undesirable stuff, and it keeps on playing.

I would be pretty skeptical of a 100 watt amp for that little. There just might be a reason someone doesn't want it.

you sure he doesnt just get another laney, or his endorsements dont just give him another one after a show? lol

i had a laney wasnt bad but it was only 60watt an cost bout £250 so i would be dubious on buyin it. but listen to it to see if it sounds good as just because it has 2 speakers an 100watts will not make it sound good! an check with the shop for a return policy or warranty incase it does break down after buying it. if you get neither of these i wouldnt bother as it could be a problem amp theyre trying to off load onto you.

We will probably test it out for him when he gets his new guitar.
