I used to own a HD130 212, and used it with my Gibson Les Paul. It was very nice for blues and blues/rock. I am getting a RD50 and will use it with my Les Paul (humbucker equiped), and G&L Comanche with Z-coils. If you want to hear what humbuckers sound like, I would suggest Chris Cain, and mid to late 70's Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers, both these players have used Music man amps. Tom used a HD 130-212. Chris still uses a RD50-112. In the interview, Chris said he has Boogie amps too, but He alwasys just uses the RD50, since its easier to use, and has been the most reliable amp he's ever owned. He also did a gig with Buddy Guy, Buddy had a stack of Marshalls, the story went on to say, and Chris just had the RD50. Buddy goes, what are you using? Ane when Chris told him, he was floored! :^) Chris playes a 335, and a Les Paul with humbuckers. He is a great blues/fusion player!
