derrenleepoole Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 A superb investment for little financial outlay: Pros: A very clean and uncluttered representation of your tone - you'll hear everything Incredibly musical EQ specifically for bass with loads of tone shaping control Onboard compressor/limiter that's very very good indeed Can be run on batteries Will power a cabinet to 10 watts making it an ideal practice unit too (not with batteries though) Robustly built/superb build quality Balanced (very quiet) DI out for recording is superb Used with a powered cabinet, you'll have all the tools you'll need to gig Cons: Simply none at this price Essentially the PJB is the same as the Briefcase unit but with out the 100 watts amp. I love PJ stuff and can't praise it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Very good piece of kit (in fact I'm so impressed by the tone and functionality that I'm about to buy a PJ Briefcase, so my Bassbuddy may be up for grabs soon). Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I looked into "upgrading" to a Briefcase too, Chris, but despite the appearance the Briefcase is NOT a Bass Buddy installed in a larger housing with some speakers ... you do lose some functionality, and the bits you lose happened to be the bit I needed most!

munkonthehill Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 who manufactures powered bass cabs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Bergantino's IP series are the most well known, while ISP Technologies also make them- both very heavy and very expensive AFAIK. They're quite similar to powered PA cabs in most respects which can be had for less, with more variety available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what I paid, I'll check, and if it was less, I'll drop accordingly [quote name='Happy Jack' post='699680' date='Jan 3 2010, 04:56 PM']I looked into "upgrading" to a Briefcase too, Chris, but despite the appearance the Briefcase is NOT a Bass Buddy installed in a larger housing with some speakers ... you do lose some functionality, and the bits you lose happened to be the bit I needed most![/quote] Cheers Jack, I've found that I just need a small gig amp with a few wother features so the upgrade works well C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
