Phil Jones Bass Cab 67 Packs A Punch
The Cab 67 is a no-holds-barred 500 Watt powerhouse enclosure that will deliver the bottom end and add life to any live playing situation. It is a slugger as a stand-alone cabinet that turns massive when stacking two together.
The Cab 67 has six proprietary PJB seven inch drivers along with a three inch tweeter that together deliver a full dynamic range, perfect for any working or jamming bassist.
