Phil Jones Bass Owners' Club

Im responding from a secondary account because I am having trouble logging into my main account and waiting for talkbass support to iron it out. As for the double stack, I run both simultaneously. It's a large stage, so I needed to cover it as much decibel-wise as possible.
Thanks, see my response to @WRM I'm good now. I bet you were pushing some air with those twin towers!

OK thanks, I got it now... I'm not well versed in the PJB line beyond the micro stuff.

I mistook the top two BG-400s for additional C4s, and figured there were some amps somewhere.....

(why yes, they are in the BG-400s!)

Nice rig @alotabass
Thanks. Yes, they are very stealthy that way, which I like. They are very unassuming until you hear how loud they are.
 
PJB friends....

If anyone is looking for a C8 (or 2 of them), there are a pair of C8 cabinets that just showed up at Guitar Center for a great price of $499 ea, plus they have a 10% off on used right now, so that makes it $449 each cabinet. The description says excellent condition for both, along with the slip covers.

I'm not affiliated with GC, just passing along to the group.

If those were near me, I'd go to that GC, just to try them out!

If shipped to the Netherlands with shipping costs and customs this interesting price would rise to almost as much as I would pay for a C8 new overhere... :sour:

Anyone have issues with the PJB BG-400 cutting out sound?
Issue seems to occur if I strike a note hard. It's almost like the limiter is over reacting, but I have turned the limiter off.
I'm playing an upright bass with a Upton Revolution Solo pickup. Been using this setup for years, Never had any issues. The amp light is on doesn’t flash. or anything, the limiter is turned off.
Not sure if it's the amp, the pickup or the cord but it seems to occur more frequently. I'm going to try my old cabinet and ELF head tomorrow to see if the issue occurs. If it does then I know it's the pickup or cord.

Yes, it's happened to mine. The pickups on one of my basses are pretty hot, so it has cut out from playing hard sometimes. I think my BG400 has overheated at one point as well, and went into protect mode. However, this is rare for either to happen, so you might want to get yours checked out if it's frequent for yours.
 
Hello everyone, this is my Briefcase. Yesterday I had a chance to play through it live and I am really developing some seriously positive feelings towards this little guy. It’s a nifty little amp that held its own quite well yesterday at a medium-ish local brewery that we play around once a month.

I using a Sansamp in front of it, but I’m finding that I really like the clean tone of this amps DI into the foh. The tone is really clear, a little mid bump was all it needed to me sound great.
