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 Compact 8 is a bass cabinet finished in black, part of Phil Jones's compact bass cabinet lineup known for delivering full, high-fidelity low-end from smaller-than-typical enclosures. Built for bassists wanting Phil Jones's characteristic clarity and punch without the size and weight of a traditional full-size bass cabinet, it's designed to pair with Phil Jones combo heads or other compatible amplification for a portable, high-quality bass rig.
