Double Bass Phil Jones c4 and EA Doubler great mix???

[tiki613]

Hello

someone has already tested the phil jones (new c4) with a doublebass, I play EA doubler(great amp) and TC electronic rs 210, but with 42lb my back is tired, I would light and i like specifications PJ

There aren't a lot of the Compact 4 "in the wild" as compared to the 4B cabinets. Compared to the 4B (which I have), the Compact 4 are said to have a tighter bass response and a quicker attack, which for a double bass I am going to assume will be ideal. Especially with your amp head choice, you should end up with a very true reproduction of your sound, that is also easy to carry to and from gigs.

Unfortunately, the C4 is found in Belgium (and Europe), I'll have to buy blind without testing!

I think you'll be alright. When I talked to Phil about the difference between the 4B and the C4, he mentioned that the C4 sound is a bit tighter, not as deep. So, while it may not be ideal for someone with a 5 string bass (even though there are a number of 5 stringers using the C4 that love it), it will sound fantastic with the tonal range of the double bass. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Just taken delivery of mine, haven't gigged it yet but it seems to work very well under a Clarus or TecAmp Puma (preferred). Nice and bright where needed but tight at the bottom end without too much boom. Could be a very useful piece of kit, I'll be trying it out next Sunday.
