Anyone who's begun the process (and I believe it SHOULD be a PROCESS) of determining which bass amplifier they wish to own surely knows there's no lack of choices out there. The moment I stumbled upon, Phil Jones Bass, I knew my search was over. I won't bore you with chatter about build quality and technology. It's all there in a beautiful package that will exceed your expectations. Rather, I'll keep this brief and to-the-point: There is no sound that comes from my near-magical PJB amp that does not exist within my instrument. From the tiniest nuances to the most powerful hits, Phil's creation reproduces them all to absolute perfection, with nothing added nor subtracted. And isn't that what you're REALLY seeking in your amplification? If it is, look no further. Get ready to feel two expressions on your face; 1) Bewilderment at how an amplifier can sound SO stunning, and, 2) Plain ol' joy at hearing your instrument the way it was meant to be heard. And you'll repeat these expressions every time you plug in. Peace!
