“I just was impressed that my idea of a signature amp was so well received by the company. I’ve been with a lot of companies, but this was just like, \u2018Oh really? What would you do? What would you incorporate into a signature?\u2019 Next thing I know, I was on a Zoom call with a dozen people from Laney, and we were going over the things that would be a dream for me. And they\u2019ve been incorporated into this amp.”<\/span><\/i> \u2013 Nathan East<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Legacy of Bass, A Partnership of Innovation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nathan East is one of the most recorded and respected bassists of all time. From his iconic work with Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Daft Punk, and Toto, to his role in Fourplay, Nathan\u2019s playing has shaped the sound of modern bass. When it came to designing his own signature amp, he turned to our team at Laney, a company whose bass roots run deep, dating back to Lyndon Laney, bassist for Band of Joy with Robert Plant and John Bonham. A deep connection that is part of the<\/span> reason Laney amplifiers are so popular.<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
