eubassix Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Haven't got to use this as planned, so probably best to move it on .. if anybody's looking for an ultra small/high-end Combo. Virtually unplayed (home-only) and unmarked, still with original box/packaging, unopened-unused power lead and car-battery charger lead (there's no battery fitted, but these are available apparently), manual. One test I did do was to try the head section with some bigger 4-ohm speakers: it works! The tiny (Bass-Buddy) 100w head drives w/out problem (idea being to use with internals at-home and, if needed, bigger 4-ohms at venue). It's actually 110w @4ohms, 65@8 and 40@16 (according to the manual). TBC are currently offering at £439, BDirect @ £499 delivered. rrp is £549 Here's some PJB blurb: [i]The BRIEFCASE is not your usual combo-practice amp. The most striking difference between this combo and others is that it features an extremely clean and powerful amplifier and full range compact speaker that can run on AC or DC power. It can accept voltages from 100 to 240 volts by using the voltage selector switch, can run on an internal lead acid gel battery (not supplied) or even an external 12V DC source such as a automotive starting battery. Though it is a dedicated bass amplifier, this unit will work ideally for other instruments, particularly acoustic variety due to its natural hi-fi sound character. This unit is also an ideal upright bass amplifier. The two 5 inch proprietary PJB drivers have been acoustically optimally loaded by precise computer analysis to provide a full-range, dynamic sound that can play down to an open E string with ease. The BRIEFCASE can handle an open B string if not too much bass boost is used. Specifications: SPEAKERS:2 high-power, full-range dedicated bass instrument loudspeakers in a computer-optimized, vented enclosure. POWER: 100W. WEIGHT: 28 lbs. DIMENSIONS: inch 6.5(W) x 14.5(D) x 15.75(H). INPUT: Active / Passive. FEATURES: Compressor/limiter, 5-Band EQ, Headphone out, Balanced-line out, Pre-amp out, Extension-speaker out. Ideal match for upright basses[/i] ... and some photos (below). I'll be sticking on ebay too, but intially looking for £345 (incl. Courier) / £328 (collect or own Courier) Edited June 15, 2011 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJ Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have the bass buddy preamp which is the same as built into this without the poweramp bit (the bass buddy can put out 10w, whereas this puts out 110w). Its probably the warmest bass preamp I've used. Its so warm and detailed that you hardly ever have to touch the five band eq, and the best bit is the compressor, which for a single knob solution is THE most musical compressor for bass guitar I've ever used (and believe me, I've used a few!). If I had £345 spare I'd be on this in a flash as this is just what I need for home practice. Have a bump on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba55me15ter Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have one of these - I believe it is the best practice amp there is. The sound is so round and detailed. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Full dimemsions/weight are provided in the original listing .. obviously there's no point in including them if you don't bother to read them (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
