PJB cabs sound like....?

Sign in to disble this ad
I don't seem to be able to find much about the tone of PJB cabs. The focus of most comments seems to be more on their design rather than how they compare to other popular cabs.

I'm interested in the neopower cabs, a 12b or 18b. Can anyone compare their performance and tone to the likes of the berg AE or epi UL series? Are there other cabs that remind you of the PJB tone?

It seems the PJB's are relatively flat in their response, are we talking flat like a good PA? How is the top end without a tweeter, is it easy to dial in a modern slap sound? Does the design make them inherently more punchy than a conventional cab? So many questions.

Of course these videos can't capture the true sound experience, but they give you a glimpse of the the clarity reproduced by Phil Jones cabs:

Trust me, there is no lack of clarity-even without tweeters!

Check this link on TB. Post # 58 and click GrooveWarrior's link, if you have a good speaker system on your computer you will hear a pretty good representation of what you'll get from a PJB rig.

Thanks guys. Unless I'm reading it wrongly tho groovewarrior's link is to a track di'd from a bass buddy - no cabs involved??

Anyone out there who can compare the PJB cabs to some well known conventional offerings?
