Built for Low End, Born in the Black Country
Can you Dig (beth) It!
Bass players know a truth the rest of the band often forgets: if the bass tone isn’t right, nothing is right. You can have the fanciest guitars, the wildest pedals, the flashiest drummer — but without a solid, confident low end, the whole thing wobbles.
That’s where Laney come in.
Laney is one of those brands that doesn’t shout about its legacy, but it doesn’t need to. Founded in the late 1960s in Birmingham — deep in England’s Black Country — Laney grew up surrounded by industry, noise and hard graft. Their amps were built to be tough, loud, reliable and musical, and that DNA still runs right through their bass range today.
From compact practice combos to serious gig-ready monsters, Laney bass amps are designed to serve the song, hold the groove, and deliver tone you can feel in your chest.
And right now, Musicmaker is stacked with some absolute corkers.
Laney LX10B & LX15B – Small Combos, Big Intentions
Let’s start where most bass journeys begin.
The Laney LX10B and LX15B are compact bass combo amps that punch well above their size. These are perfect for beginners, home practice, apartment playing, and anyone who wants a no-fuss bass amp that actually sounds like a bass.
The LX10B is small, light and straightforward — ideal if you’re just getting started or need something you can tuck under your arm and carry without effort. The tone is focused and clear, with enough low-end presence to keep things satisfying even at lower volumes.
The LX15B steps things up with a bit more power and body, giving you extra headroom and a fuller low end. Both amps keep things simple with intuitive controls, letting you dial in a usable tone quickly instead of fighting endless knobs.
They’re honest amps. Plug in, play, groove. No drama.
Both the LX10B and the LX15B are available to test in Musicmaker now!
Enter the Digbeth: Laney’s Modern Bass Statement
Now we move into more serious territory.
The Digbeth Foundry Series is Laney showing exactly how much they care about modern bass tone. These amps take inspiration from classic bass designs but bring them firmly into the present, with flexible EQ, punchy power sections and voicings that work across genres — from funk and soul to rock, indie, punk and beyond.
These are amps built for players who rehearse, gig, record and demand consistency.
Laney DBF30 Digbeth Foundry – Compact, Focused, Musical
The DBF30 Digbeth Foundry 1x8” combo is proof that small bass amps don’t have to sound thin. This amp delivers a tight, controlled low end with impressive clarity, making it a fantastic choice for home practice, rehearsals and quieter gigs.
What really stands out here is the clarity of the midrange. Notes speak clearly, articulation stays intact, and your bass sits exactly where it should. It’s especially good for players who value definition and touch — fingerstyle, pick players, and anyone who likes hearing every nuance of their playing.
Compact, but never weak.
The Laney DBF30 Digbeth is an excellent smaller option.
Laney DBF50 Digbeth Foundry – The Sweet Spot
If there’s a “just right” amp in the range, it’s the DBF50 Digbeth Foundry 1x10”.
This is the amp that suits a lot of bass players. It’s powerful enough for rehearsals and small-to-medium gigs, compact enough to move easily, and voiced in a way that works across multiple styles. The 10” speaker gives you a great balance of punch and depth, while the Digbeth EQ lets you shape your tone without losing character.
Whether you’re laying down fat, supportive lines or driving the band forward with aggressive attack, the DBF50 responds beautifully. It’s confident, versatile and very easy to love.
The Goldilocks zone - the Laney Digbeth DBF50.
Laney DBF100 Digbeth Foundry – The Big Dog
And then there’s the DBF100 Digbeth Foundry 1x12”.
This is where things get serious.
With more power, more headroom and a larger speaker, the DBF100 delivers authoritative low end that fills rooms without falling apart. The 12” speaker brings warmth and depth, while still retaining the definition needed for modern bass playing.
This is an amp for gigging bassists who want one combo that can do it all — rehearsal, stage, recording — without compromise. It stays tight at volume, takes pedals well, and has the kind of presence that lets you lock in with the drummer and own the groove.
