Phil Jones · speaker
The Phil Jones Bass EB-200 Ear Box is a personal nearfield monitor speaker for bass, rather than an amplifier in the conventional sense. It is designed to sit close to the player and provide a clear, accurate reference of their own bass signal on stage or in a rehearsal setting, where a full backline may be impractical or where in-ear monitoring alone is unsatisfying. It applies PJB's small-driver approach, which gives faster transient response and clearer midrange than conventional bass speakers, to the specific job of nearfield monitoring. It suits bassists in in-ear rigs, silent-stage setups and studio environments who need an accurate personal reference.
