The Best Violin Amp I’ve Ever Played… Is A Bass Amp
I like to test my gear *in depth.* Anything I use regularly needs to pull its weight, and this amp is the most punch-per-ounce of anything I’ve ever tried for electric (and acoustic!) violin. Introducing: The Phil Jones Bass BG120 PRO.
Disclosure: This amp was sent to me by the good folks at Phil Jones to try out… only after I played through it for almost an hour straight at a trade show. I knew last November: this is probably the best “all-rounder” amp for violin I’ve ever played. I filmed these tests in January but have been using it ever since, and if you see me live this year I’ll probably be using this amp. Come along with me, back to the initial tests, and let’s get to know it together.
