Phil Jones Six Pack - anyone got / had one?

[Jesso]

Hey folks, I'm looking at a PJ 6pack as a possible change from my current LM2 / aguilar gigging rig....

Anyone have any experience of em? Can't see any for sale anywhere, so very hard to know what they're worth second hand.
Will it live happily on top of a GS112?
It looks to be a heavy wee beasty... does the tone justify the weight?

Thanks!

Whoops! This is in the wrong place... sorry! Could someone move it?

Maybe have a word with the guy selling [url="http://www.adverts.ie/242143/guitar-and-bass/phil-jones-bass-six-pak-bass-relist-price-drop/"]this one[/url] in Ireland? It seems like a great deal if that's what you're looking for.

I am certianly loving my new M300 and 6B combination, which is a similar setup but in separates.

Thanks.
Are you finding it loud enough for your needs? How big of a gig would you say it could comfortably manage?

It sounds wonderful, but PJB stuff isn't the loudest unless you add cabs.

I think the Six Pack only puts out 190-odd watts into the combo so you'd really need to add the right impedance cab to make the most of the M500 head that's in it. That, of course, makes having such a heavy combo in the first place a bit redundant, at least it does to me!

I'd suggest you look at the manual and see what the cab configurations and power handling do, and whether you can get the right setup for you.

Cheers

Ok thanks Gareth. Sounds nice but way too heavy for the volume. Maybe when I get a few roadies, I can justify it then!

You're welcome. I'm [i]very[/i] happy with the M300+6B setup and would recommend it wholeheratedly, providing you aren't trying to knock down buildings with your volume needs.
