Phil Jones Double Four Plus BG-80 RD

Produit assez complet en connections de bonne facture et finitions.
Boutons crantés à midi et le Bluetooth fonctionnant parfaitement.
Un son neutre et très propre même en 5 cordes.
Une sortie ligne XLR serait la bienvenue tout en laissant la sortie jack existante pour un accordeur.
Annoncé pour une puissance de 90 Watts, la fiche technique le donne pour 2x45W et je ne ressent que ce petit 45 Watts avouant vite ses limites me laissant sur ma faim.
Réservé uniquement à un travail privé à usage domestique.
Merci Thomann au Top comme d'hab.

I was looking for a lightweight combo amp through which to play my double bass, fitted with a Realist Copper Head pickup, and read some good reviews of this amp (albeit from bass guitarists). It certainly is very lightweight and portable (it fits really well in an Accu-Case AC-115 Soft Bag). I was impressed by the claims made about the very small speakers and the power (90 watts, apparently). However the reality for me was intense disappointment - using the amp without a pre-amp resulted in a lot of distortion at not very high audible volume. With a pre-amp (Fishman Platinum Stage) I could get some distortion-free sound but the volume remained low.
I thought this amp would be a more portable and more powerful alternative to the Harley Benton AC60 pro - it is lighter but that's it. This amp is also extremely expensive for what it is. I thought that at that price I'd be getting quality equipment that fits my needs but it doesn't. As I'm playing an acoustic double bass, I don't need an amp to practise alone. I need an amp to practise with a small combo and this doesn't really add much to the acoustic sound of the instrument in terms of volume before it distorts.
I don't know how this works with a bass guitar (for which it was designed) so only take my comments onboard if you're looking for an amp for a double bass.
