Phil Jones Bass BG-400B Suitcase Compact Bass Amp Combo Black

Introducing the Suitcase Compact. This model is based on the superlative and uncompromised performance of the original PJB Suitcase. It is more powerful but physically smaller, in fact the same size as our Compact 4 enclosure. It has an incredible punch sound cutting through air as “a knife through butter” but with a solid and powerful low end response normally associated with a much larger combo.

It features a two-channel pre amp with our unique 3 band EQ. Simple to find “your sound”, this EQ sounds has amazing control and transparency that allows you to unmistakably hear the true characters of your own playing and instrument. In the heart of this amp lies a formidable ultra high-energy power supply. It feeds an efficient class D power amplifier which utilizes almost 95% of this energy to drive the four internal PJB Piranha speakers.

The Suitcase Compact puts out a healthy 300 watts RMS onto its own speakers. Adding a Compact 4 cabinet it becomes 500 watts. The future of amps is trending to; “smaller and better” but with the Suitcase Compact bass combo, the future is here now!

Plug into this bad boy, and your bass will sing and shake the stage. This combo amp is the same size as the Phil Jones Compact 4 enclosure, so you won't be losing much space in the van when you find yourself gigging on the road.

Two-Channel Preamp with Three-Band EQ Control 

On the BG400's top panel are your two-channel preamp controls. Each channel has its own 1/4" instrument input, three-band EQ control, input level controls, and mute, passive, and active switches. There is also an 1/8" aux input and level control for a CD or MP3 player -- a great feature for rehearsing on your own. You can also utilize the headphone output for some quiet late-night practices that won't wake the neighbors.

Adding the Compact 4 or 8 Cabinets 

Your Phil Jones Bass BG400 Suitcase bass combo amplifier harnesses some serious power. Your signal is fueled through a class D amplifier and projected via four 5" PJB "Piranha" Type-B speakers. Each note will maintain a powerful punch with beefy lows and crispy highs. You also have the option to incorporate the Compact 4 or Compact 8 cabinets into the mix, which employ 500 watts and 575 watts of power respectively.

Smaller and Better 

PJB is certain that the future of amplifiers is "smaller and better." This combo amp really takes the cake when it comes to clear and powerful amplification, mobility, and awesomely potent and articulate output. You'll never have to worry about lugging a giant rig around to get a great sound out of your bass, and your back will thank you!
