Members RosatoFamily Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 I posted this review on the FDP...thought I'd share w/ friends here... I've had the new Phil Jones (PJB) Suitcase amp for a few weeks now. I've been searching for a small venue, practice & studio amp for over a year now. This amp, in my opinion, is the very best small-mid size venue bass amp on the market. I've heard this said about PJB and agree -- It's truly groundbreaking stuff! First let's discuss the pre-sale process. When I first called looking for general information I was pleasantly surprised when Phil Jones answered the phone. A fantastic guy...very helpful & super technical. This is a very serious technical sound designer. The amp offers a top quality physical design and extremely transparent sound. It's small, lightweight and very easy to handle. It has 2 channels so you can easily gig 2 kinds of basses and set each channel with your specific bass tone - 1 for you P and 1 for your J! With 200/300-watts (and large internal power supply) you could easily play 2 instruments at the same time. Just about any instrument sounds fantastic here. The 4 PJB speakers are hi-fi quality. They will surprise you with their punch across the whole audio spectrum - deep powerful bass response. The 5 band EQ response is the best I've ever seen on any bass amp. You have total control of your bass sound! Phil Jones mentioned that he will be adding a 2nd 4B cabinet to the line later this year. I'm sold! Nothing on the market compares. This is truly a unique product. Bottom line: I love this amp! http://www.philjonesbass.com/PRODUCTS/SPEAKERS/Suitcase.htm no affiliation...just a satisfied customer!

Members bassman1956 Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 Nice to hear an actual review. I actually asked him about the add-on cab a year or two ago, and he said never thought of it, but great idea. Kept the emails I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
