Phil Jones Bass Double Four amplifier - extended range violin/viola and all basses

Some counter intuitive learning for us.  Phil Jones' smallest amplifier turns out to be an outstanding choice for Viper violin players on a budget.  Yes, those are 2 four inch speakers.  It defies logic, but these amps are incredibly efficient and accurate.  We actually dial back the bass a touch, raise the mids and highs just a little and the 6 and 7 string Vipers come dangerously alive.  Single channel, 70 watts.

 Reasons to own:  great sound, ultra compact, lowest cost

Best for:  6 and 7 string Viper violin or other extended range violins and violas, electric and acoustic bass

Choose if:  you play at home or with one other instrument at a small venue, or you always run a line out to the performance hall sound system

Skip if:  you need very loud on stage volume, a D.I. out (1/4 inch out included) or more than one channel

Need that Direct out ? (D.I. uses a mic cable instead of a 1/4 inch cable) Check out the Bass Cub 100 or SuperFlightcase
