Dedication to Innovation
Drawing from his passions for bass playing and engineering, Phil Jones strives to craft the most innovative and groundbreaking products within the world of bass and instrument amplification. His passion has paid off in an award-winning lineup of industry-defining models, which are renowned throughout the world for their high-fidelity sonics in both stage and studio applications. To ensure the highest degree of quality possible, every PJB product is both designed and manufactured in PJB’s state-of-the-art facility, where Phil’s passion pays off with superior sound.
Distinctive, Multi-driver Arrangements
Phil Jones Bass’s cabinets are revered for their unique speaker arrangements, which utilize multiple small drivers in place of a single large one. This method provides advantages in efficiency, dispersion, and power handling. In fact, the combined cone area of a PJB cab with multiple drivers often exceeds that of a cab with a single large driver, thus allowing PJB cabs to accommodate more power and produce higher volumes.
Phil Jones Bass’s distinct multi-driver arrangements also enhance midrange performance, improve transient response, reduce latency, and supply an improved dynamic range. Furthermore, smaller speakers provide increased heat dissipation and reduce cone breakup. By placing internal braces between each driver and harnessing the power of full-range drivers, PJB cabs cut down on cabinet resonance and coloration, while simultaneously sharpening up high-frequency clarity — the latter quality being an especially alluring prospect for slap-heavy players, as that technique puts great stress on tweeter horns.
A Bass Amp for Every Occasion
From world-famous concert hall stages to street-side jam sessions, Phil Jones Bass has the right amplification choice for every occasion. Its X4C Nanobass combo clocks in as the brand’s most portable option, weighing less than five pounds and sporting a compact form factor that’s easily tossed into a backpack. Plus, it also boasts a USB-C input that allows you to operate the amp with a mobile power bank, making the model a must-have for buskers. And whether you play bass, guitar, ukulele, violin, or even electronic drums, the X4C’s combination of a 4-inch speaker, 3-band EQ, and a 35-watt power rating accommodates almost any instrument with ease.
Proprietary Designs and Impeccable Quality Control
PJB’s products are built with proprietary parts in the brand’s state-of-the-art factory, undergoing extensive testing and analysis with a Klippel Laser Doppler Interferometer and the Audio Precision APx555 audio analyzer in the facility’s anechoic chamber. Each cab’s enclosure is constructed with premium Baltic birch plywood using cutting-edge CNC machines, resulting in remarkably tight tolerances. Inside your amplifier, you’ll find a surface-mount circuit board built with premium electronic components and precisely produced using robotics from Fuji Machine Manufacturing Co, Ltd. All these elements come together to ensure PJB products provide the industry-defining consistency, reliability, and tone that musicians across the globe have come to expect from Phil Jones Bass.
The Superior Choice in High-volume Situations
When you need maximum power for your large venues or high-volume band situations, Phil Jones Bass has you covered. The BP-800 head delivers 800 watts of signature PJB power at under five pounds, fueled by a Class A preamp and outfitted with the lauded PJB 5-band EQ. Paired with one of PJB’s C8, C9, or Cab 67 cabs, the BP-800 represents a rugged, ultra-portable means to rock even the most power-hungry sonic applications. And if you’re after the low-end punch of a BP-800 in a less ground-shaking form, PJB also offers the 200-watt BP-200 head and the C4 cabinet.
For those who require serious stage volume in a convenient combo form factor, look no further than the mighty BG-800. This combo clocks in with a 600-watt power rating that extends to a shattering 950 watts when you pair it with an 8-ohm extension cabinet. And despite its relatively scaled-down size, the BG-800’s whopping 12-pack of 5-inch speakers has the finesse to excel with all styles of playing. Finished off with a built-in handle and wheels, the BG-800 is the epitome of both power and portability.
PJB Pedals, Headphone Amps, Monitors, and More
PJB’s versatile array of pedals, headphone amplifiers, monitors, and more give you the power to achieve your ultimate tone in any performance or recording situation. Starting with pedals, the X2C dual compressor incorporates advanced compressor circuit technology, comprehensive tone controls, and dual crossover technology to unlock limitless creativity and tone-sculpting possibilities. Next, the flexible PE-5 pedal — designed with a switchable input impedance to support both bass guitar and upright bass — is a multifunction powerhouse that functions as a 5-band EQ, a preamp, a direct box, and a signal booster.
Next up is PJB’s Bighead Pro HA-2 — a high-performance, multifunction headphone amplifier and digital audio interface that supports high-resolution PCM and DSD playback. This powerful and eminently portable device boasts a rechargeable lithium ion battery, excelling in practice and recording situations as both a headphone booster amp and as a preamp to drive your powered amplifier. In addition, the HA-2 features a 2-band EQ and active/passive instrument input to function with guitar, bass, and many other instruments. Finally, the EAR Box EB-200 is a superb personal monitor solution for bassists, sitting directly at your ear level and dishing out a nearfield sound with exceptional clarity. Instead of reproducing the full spectrum of the bass, the EB-200 blends in with the low frequency of your cabinet, granting a bassist faithful representation of their output without sacrificing the rest of the band’s sound.
