HOLY BRICK CONSTRUCTION, BATMAN!
I mean, 21 pounds for an 8? I've got a 12 with 150 watts for just a bit more weight.
This explains why it was never on my list.

Lol! Up to the minute shot! My AI cab in it’s Moorsdian soft case is also doubling as my computer mouse pad!
Tangent story: when my aunt and uncle decided that they needed to convert the old car port into an extra room, they used a whole bunch of 2'x2' carpet samples that were about to be tossed out by a local carpet store. Glued them down, and made a really interesting floor. I have many great memories of playing in that room on family holidays.
I stand humbly in a room studded with greatness and venerable knowledgeable players!! Thank you very much! I will add#201 to my signature! Sure, thing. I’ll answer any questions to the best of my ability. Can’t say enough about Acoustic Image. Thanks again!
Here's my plate, put your jalapenos right there.I don't like jalapenos(flavor, not heat). Double up the bacon.
How about a hunnert doller deal on a red Dub 4?
You’re gonna give me a sawbuck over my asking price? Wow! I’m not worthy, but the ‘lil red combo sure is. I’ll have to check with G’Dog to see if we have any deals left to give. Our treasury was looted in a heist that only could be called, “The Crime of the Minute!”
I really dunno if I want to sell it now, but if I did, you’re the only guy I’d sell it to. Well, maybe GP, but that’s it.
BTW, I did a second look at my board and my OD pedal was a little cockeyed (is it okay to write that?), though all the pedals are sitting flush on the board. The advice makes good sense, so I found some cheap, but colorful 6” cables at Ameezon and they’ll be here on Monday.
I am closing in on a cabinet though. Need to wait until Friday, and will order something then. RR, don’t tell anyone but I came into some unexpected cash that I wasn’t expecting
and could pull the trigger for both the 210 black Rumble cab and the 115 Rumble cab. I am also thinking of either staying with my original Orange 112 idea or moving up to the Fender Pro Neo 115. I’ll never need another cab again.
So are you still serious about the PBJ?
Plus, I think they’re ugly too. Maybe the robot on Lost in Space might use it, but note. Again, the entire line looks like portable generators. DISCLAIMER: I apologize if I offended any Roland owners. Rod made write it...
They’re looks it what, IMO, it sounds like too; gray, boxy, digital, boring. DISCLAIMER: I once again apologize if I offended any Roland owners. This time it wasn’t Rod who made me write it. It was Morrighan...
<checking all pockets...rustle...rustle...> Hmm, that's funny, I seem to be short some expected cash.You’re gonna give me a sawbuck over my asking price? Wow!

As far as getting a PJB, yep, still serious. Not sure if the deal on MF is still going. I really only want a red one. Because of an influencer I shall not name. Waiting to see if the most recent payment cleared. Was not cleared yet this morning.
Red's new white one does look great, but I would never be able to keep it clean more than a few minutes. Did see a blue one that looked fantastic, but I understand they are Japan only for some unknown reason.

Blue, huh? Interesting. A dark blue? I’ll have to surf the oceans blue. I’m wondering, what would you be doing to the white combo to be concerned with getting it dirty? Are doing motocross rock band again? Thought you said you were giving that up for lint?
I always thought you were taller than M...or are you???
I’m taller than everyone...
sometimes, it’s a headache; other times, I feel like I’m on top of the world.
One more variation of the AI Upshot. I actually did buy it as a “combo” package along with the AI Clarus SL-2. By itself, does ok. I sometimes take it to practice with me as well the smaller gigs.
That is so cool, roccobass. Probably a question you get all the time, but how’s the bass response. I’m so used to a traditional cabinet, I have no idea what the bottom end on these is. In comparison to other cabs you’ve either owned or played, how does the AI rate? Are you satisfied with what you hear?

The package comes with it's own backpack, yes? Talk about an easy load-in (except for hauling the DB!)
Thank you so much for your detailed review and advice. It's somewhat strange to me though that I'm having a hard time finding negative reviews. The overwhelming majority view is positive - both in reviews on major music websites and youtube videos. But I also value advice from the coolest club on Talkbass!
My goal is a small, portable amp for practice only purposes. I have no expectation that 5 watts through 4 mini speakers is going to be anywhere near robust and full bodied. The amp models and effects are just "fun fluff" to me, however the built in rhythm section is pretty cool and would be helpful to me in practice situations. I am considering the Blackstar fly system too (both units) as it would meet my desire for portability. I've read of problems with the battery on the pignoses, but may consider that as well.
Your suggestion on the Rumble Studio 40 has crossed my mind as well, but seems overkill for my wants and definitely not as portable. When I play with the band, I'm straight jacked in my 500c and get all I need through the EQ and voicings on the amp and of course technique.
Here's an interesting comparison of the Roland base cube vs PJB double 4 vs Markbass minimark vs AER amp one. Yea, the Roland is "thinner" than the other amps, but considering 5 watts vs 75/80 and larger speakers, it fares pretty well in this comparison...
Again, thanks so much for your valued input! I'll pull the trigger at some point (on something) and give you guys my review/thoughts.
