Phil Jones BG400 Suitcase Bass Combo Amp

The Phil Jones Bass BG400 Suitcase Compact is based on the uncompromised performance of the original PJB "Suitcase" combo, but more powerful and smaller.

It has an incredible punch sound cutting through air as "a knife through butter" but with a solid and powerful low-end response normally associated with a much larger combo.

The future of amps is trending to "smaller and better," and with the Suitcase Compact, the future is here now!

I made the decision to downsize the rig that I was hauling around. This combo amp is everything that I've been looking for. Awesome features, tone and an extremely small foot print on stage ! I coupled it with the PJB C4 cabinet and there will never be a need for me to use a "big" rig again !
