Phil Jones · cabinet
The Phil Jones Bass C4 Piranha is a 400-watt bass speaker cabinet using four five-inch drivers, designed to pair with PJB heads or to extend the output of the company's combos. It follows the brand's core approach of using several small drivers rather than one large one, which produces faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass cabinets and suits upright, fretless and acoustic instruments as well as electric bass. As a cabinet it contains no amplification of its own. It suits bassists building a PJB rig who want the brand's articulate voicing with additional output or speaker area.
