- Here is my unboxing and review video for the Double Four bass amp from Phil Jones Bass. (Spoiler alert!! It's freakin' amazing). The tone and volume from this little bass amp is unbelievable. Phil Jones Bass has worked their magic again and made one incredible practice bass amp. This amp definitely has "tone to go"!!

Outstanding Video and it's great to see a human being review gear.
Thanks Devin
CD player! Thanks for making me feel young.
Hahaha....yes...my age was showing through. At least I didn't say phonograph!
@@mshaneh123 I recently started a music podcast and I have to make sure to say "Album" instead of "CD". It's rough, haha.
Love it Shane! Thanks for sharing!
Nice review, thank you. I've been debating about this for a few months...I actually want a Markbass 2x8 combo but it's twice the price....PJ seems like a good alternative
Ya...not sure how it would stack up against the MarkBass but I love this little amp. Does have a surprising amount of volume for its side.
Sorry for the late reply.
In the end did you get that 2x8 Markbass? I too am facing the same dilema... this or the 2x8 MB solely for home practicing purposes
@@calinvama1999 …if it’s just home then surely the pjb wins on size if nothing else.
@@blacktincrow2495 Agree. I love small & portable - thats the way to go.
Hell Naw !
They now have the Bass Cub Pro 120 watts - but this unit sounds wonderful.
Oh wow. I've seen these advertised. Be cool to check one out.
@@mshaneh123 Some people claim ( your amp ) sounds rounder & fuller with little less volume vs. the BG120 ? I don't play very loud, I just want good studio-quality sound and portability. Your's sounded incredible.
@Michael Caz ya I'm not sure. I’ve never tried a BG120. Be interesting to compare. Ya I’m happy with it.
@@mshaneh123 I prefer the Look and Portability of the BG75 . . . as I already have a Fender Rumble 100 - I'd do (however) need the ability to play outdoors? If the Phil Jones had a Battery system - I'd have purchased one already.
@@michael_caz_nyc ya I know the store I got mine from do sell the batteries as well but the are after market....not sold by PJB. Supposed to get 4-5 hours of play time. Haven't tried one to see.
Is this loud enough to use for band practice is a basement with a drummer and two electric guitars?
..I would think not, unless it was brushes and the guitarists were mellow.
Hello guy!
Great review. The tone seem to be good. In your opinion, this amp always sound great at low volume to practice at home without destroy my parent's ears?
Sorry for my late reply. Yes it sounds great at low volumes.
It’s always great to have roadie help so you don’t break your back. Gotta keep people gainfully employed, even if it’s nepotism. Lol. That’s sweet brother. I imagine that you’re from Canada from your accent.
Accent eh? Not sure what that's aboot! Ha. Yup...west coast. All the best.
Can you use this amp, to play in the park? Does it run on batteries? How is the sound ( in comparison ) to the Roland Micro Cube Bass Combo? Appreciate any input.
There are third party battery packs for these amps. I know the place I bought it from, 2nd Bass Guitars on Facebook, carries them. I think you can get a couple hours out of a charge. If you're just playing by yourself in the park it would work great but in a band situation it probably wouldn't be enough. As far as a comparison, I can't help you there. Not familiar with the Micro Cube. But this little fella sounds really good and the volume is more than I'd have expected.
Hope that helps a bit.
@@plantbassrunner1234 Thanks brother. Appreciate your informative input. oNe LovE from NYC
Out bassist uses a Yamaha THR to jam in the park. He even has a wireless connection to it.
@@musiqsoundsproductions I just ordered a Black Yamaha THR30II. Appreciate the input.
I heard you can use a computer portable battery on these. Has anyone tried that? If so what kind? How long does it power the amp?
Hi. I've seen the battery packs that work with it but they aren't provided by Phil Jones. The person here in Canada that sells Phil Jones Amps has access to the packs. It might even be an Amazon thing. If you go to Facebook and search for 2nd Bass Guitars, just send him a note and ask where he gets his battery packs. According to him you can get about 4 hours of playing time per charge. facebook.com/2ndBassGuitar
@@mshaneh123 I use a PowerADD Pilot Pro2. 20v output. Play a couple of hours and lose about 25%. I use when I playing with an acoustic group. At least I can keep up with fiddle, dobro and banjo. And with the battery, you can go anywhere.
Bass Sounds Beautiful!!
Thanks
Would you run any pedals through it? Say, EQ and timed based effects?
Can't see why not. There's not an effects loop on the amp but I can't see why you can't put any pedal between your bass and this little amp.
I’d seen in comments on reviews that this can be powered by a computer battery? How would you do that? Thanks and congratulations!
I've never used one myself but the guy who has the PJB store that I bought my gear from sells them. You can send him a quick note about it. His FB page is facebook.com/2ndBassGuitar
@@mshaneh123thank you!
is it loud enought to play along with a drummer? or it is just for studio recording?
I wouldn't use it for studio. I have used it for a rehearsal a few times where it was just a stripped down rehearsal with a drummer and guitar player at lower volumes just to run tunes. It's got some pretty good volume to it for its size but if you're "rocking out" in a rehearsal space it probably won't keep up. More of a practice amp. However I've done acoustic shows with it in small venues on its own (not through a PA) and it worked great. I'm sure it would be fine if you were doing an acoustic show in a small hall or church.
Hope that helps.
How would this hold up in a small to medium Gig. And is it battery powered??
Medium gig? Probably not. I've used it in a small intimate hall type gig with me and an acoustic player. That was pretty much its limit. You can get battery packs for it too. The guy I got my amp from sells them. Says they get around 4 hours out of a charge. Look up "2nd Bass Guitars" on Facebook. They're in his store somewhere in there. You can contact him for more info on it too.
I guess if you've already spent the money and you can't take it back you learn to love the low end distortion.
Interesting. I've used mine for 3 years and never experienced that. Sorry to hear that.
Wooooowwww very good demo thank you so much 🐵👌
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Listen to this review with good headphones or good speakers👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😉
Does it run on batteries? That would make it portable for a river trip.
Technically yes but it’s some kind of lithium rechargeable block, not regular domestic disposable batteries.
Hi. I'm from Italy and I'm looking for an amplifier to play on street. Does it work also by battery rechargeable? Thanks for the video
Hi. Yes it does. I've seen the battery packs that work with it but they aren't provided by Phil Jones. The person here in Canada that sells Phil Jones Amps has access to the packs. It might even be an Amazon thing. If you go to Facebook and search for 2nd Bass Guitars, just send him a note and ask where he gets his battery packs. According to him you can get about 4 hours of playing time per charge. facebook.com/2ndBassGuitar
How does this seem to handle your B string overall?
Sorry for the late reply. The B sounds great. Really tight. And if you want more low end, placing it near the wall or in a corner increases the bottom.
No problem. I actually ended up purchasing one of these. I bought rubber feet to match the ones on it, and placed them on the back with the grill to be able to fire upward. On a nice hard floor, this thing kicks butt in upward orientation!
@@8strings8rounds cool. Great idea!
I happened across a post in Talkbass forum where someone did it. Certainly sounded like a good idea, and was!
@@8strings8rounds ..so the wooden floor becomes a huge resonator?
Am I correct in saying that this can be battery powered?
Yes apparently they can. The buy I got it from also sells the battery packs for these amps. I think he said you can get something like 4-5 hours of playing time out of a charge. You can hit him up on Facebook. Just look for "2nd Bass Guitars". Pretty cool add on!
What bass was that
Sadowsky
How inch?
Is this good for small gigging venues?
I haved used it for small duo gigs in small churches and halls and it worked but anything bigger you'd want to step up to one of their bigger models like Suitcase model.
Wowwwwww 😮
You shouldn't be cutting the bottom and you should be adding it
Phil Jones Cardiff boy🏴 builds the best bass amplification. PIno Pallidino another Cardiff boy is the best bassist.
How much you bought that?
I actually won it in a contest so I'm not sure what it costs.
Its tiny for a Bass amp :)
Very tiny. But it sounds great for its size. I also have the BG-400 with the C4 cabinet. It's pretty darn loud for its size too. Great for clubs and smaller venues.
Play and stop talking
I disagree. I want to hear his honest opinion & get some real-world user-feedback.
