I used to play Kubickis through Laneys, but the Laneys kept exploding. Now I use Hartke as well. Dunno why you see that combo often. Might be the Stu factor, although that wasn't a conscious decision on my part. Hartke captures the bright and deep tones of the Kubicki really well while still letting its midtone sing. Not saying it's the only amp that can do it, but my Kubis certainly sound fuller with the Hartke rig.
I guess that there must be certain "best combos" for a certain bass and a certain amp that eventually sift to the top. Dunno. Would make an interesting study
