Phil Jones BG-75 Double Four Bass Combo
Phil Jones · amplifier
The Phil Jones Bass BG-75 Double Four is a compact bass combo from PJB's Double Four line, the smallest family in the range. It applies the company's design approach of using small drivers for faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets, in an enclosure built for maximum portability. The Double Four line is aimed at practice, rehearsal and quiet performance settings rather than loud stages. It suits bassists who need articulate amplification they can carry easily, particularly upright, fretless and acoustic players where note clarity matters more than low-end weight.
