The poll covers the people who buy those brands. Ibanez guitars are very much medium level "Rock" guitars. Laney amps sell to higher end customers. I like Laney stuff more than most Ibanez stuff (exception: late 70s/early 80s "lawsuit" Gibson copies--better than the original). Laney amps sell to people with bucks and to musicians. all responses in the poll are from those who'd answer such things.
