  • I am using Darkglass 112, but considering to add Phil Jones cause it sounds amasing. I am using also Ibanez SR 505 and I put inside of it darkglass tone capsule, it sounds amasing with bartolini mk 1 pickups

  • I have the C4 and 27 cabs. They sound cool but just dont have the lows . They sound punchy, but nothing that keeps up with a drummer on a big stage.

  • Ditch the pick ace, let's get down to the "cash register." Can you play a Jamerson groove? Never mind.

  • Great review but I kept listening for one thing. It's easy to understand why many small speakers produce great results for slapping and popping….but can this cabinet handle "low and smooth"?

  • Am i the only one that thinks PJ bass cabs "sound" small? Are my eyes effecting my ears?

  • I use this cab with a C4 on top, so all in all 12 5" speakers powered by the PJB PB-800 amp, and I love it! I had the Ampeq "fridge" before, but wanted a bass rig, that was easier to transport and less "coloring" the sound. The PJB setup I have now is the most "honest" setup I´ve ever used. It reproduces the sound of the bass most accurate of all setups I´ve tried. Sure, the Ampeg setup produced the well known Ampeg boom and growl, but I can mimic that with my pedal board (Helix LT) and the PJB setup actually goes deeper (and cleaner) than the Ampeg. The SVT810 cabinet went down to around 40 Hz where the PJB C4 can reproduce 30Hz and the C8 all down to 25Hz, wich is in the "earthquake" zone…and I love it! The first time I turned it on, volume on half and made a run down to the low B, dust was falling from the cieling of our rehearsal studio….so much punch!

  • If it’s too heavy, trade it in for two PJB C4 cabinets. These are only 29 lbs each

  • Phil's a Cardiff boy ???????????????????????????? mates with another Cardiff boy Pino Pallidino. One makes great bass amps the other plays from another world.

  • When you are playing, can you feel the bass from the speaker or no? That is one way to tell if it is low and loud.

  • People that think bigger is better have no idea what they are talking about. I have several PJB rigs; they are by far the best speakers and amps I have ever used. I have had several 4×10's and 15's and they aren't even close.

  • Where's the beef?
    The protrusion on the back is for getting up stairs. But if you want to use it to tilt back the cabinet, that works. I find tilting back the cabinet is the best way to tilt back the cabinet but your foot works too.
    Half 5he size is half the height, eh hem, my ears are still on my head. I'm not playing lying down. This cabinet needs a speaker stand.

  • Two feet tall, as if that is a good thing. I'm sure it sounds great but I don't have ears on the back of my legs.

  • I bet that new cabinet would sound great combined with your 4 8's cabinet in the back ground.
