Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Phil Jones Bass BG-80 Double Four Plus is a 90-watt bass combo from the Double Four line, PJB's smallest family of amplifiers. It uses the company's small-driver approach, which produces faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, in a very compact enclosure. At 90 watts it has more output than the original Double Four while keeping the format that makes the line distinctive, aimed at practice, rehearsal and small venue use. It suits bassists who want articulate amplification in the most portable form available, particularly upright, fretless and acoustic players.
The Phil Jones Bass BG-800 Roadcase is a 750-watt bass combo using twelve five-inch drivers, the largest amplifier in the PJB range. The company's design philosophy is many small drivers rather than a few large ones, which gives faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, and the BG-800 applies that at full scale with a driver array and power section built for large stages. The roadcase construction reflects its intended touring use. It suits professional bassists across jazz, session and acoustic work who want the articulation PJB is known for without giving up the output a large venue demands.
