I have been using a Briefcase amp for about 5 years now,I have busked with it,played hundreds of gigs with a Folk Rock band and enjoyed every minute with it.It is robust and never lets me down.I have just bought a Bass Cub for a Duo that i am in (just Bass and Guitar) and the ability to use a mic as well as the bass means we dont need to hump the PA around for the more intimate gigs. Great equipment,well made and a joy to use. Phil you would have been playing Bass in Cardiff at about the same time as me we may even have met,Thanks for inventing some great gear.
