Nick, Thanks for the good comments! I'm using a Fishman Pocket Blender with my setup. I'm not sure if they make that one anymore, it's two channel, so I blend the pickup and microphone.

I had one of these and it was the best sounding amp I ever owned. I only sold it because i needed money at the time but i wish i still had it. All Phil Jones products sound unbelievable and are quality products.

The PJB works best in certain environments, and I don't always get to play in those situations. On an outdoor gig, or a stage that is not up against a wall, the PJB is at a disadvantage. It was designed to work with the room.

I bought a used flightcase on eBay a couple of months ago ($525). I used to own a briefcase but it really didn't have the presence that I needed. I tried out the flightcase in a shop and was impressed with the sound. I think it's the upward facing drivers that make the difference. There are a couple of clips of me playing out with it on my YT page. I'm still experimenting with the levels/positioning of the thing, but overall I like it. And 25lbs. Wow!

The Flightcase is bigger than the Briefcase, so it's better suited to matching a drummer. They JUST came out with a bigger version of the Flightcase, it has 4 forward speakers and 2 on top, and 300 watts. It's a little bigger, but it's still light, and it has a built-in handle/roller thingy. Check that out, it'll hang with a drummer no problem.

Hard to say. The GK is a typical directional volume, where the PJB is more radiating. The gK might be perceived as louder because it comes at you from a single point.

Yeah, everything Ed touches sounds good and he gives the most thorough reviews. I'm definitely an EDHEAD!

Yeah, sorry. I suppose you could find a few different prices if you do a search, but it's in the $900 range. Not cheap for sure, but a great amp.

It looks to me like a Lakland Skyline (or Shoreline) 55-01. The base model in that series with the Bartolini MK1 split-coil soapbars. That bass is an amazing value. FYI: The Shoreline was made in and only available in Japan to my knowledge.

Hi Ed What impedance buffer/ input mixer do you use for your Full Circle? I need one to fit my realist. Yours sounds very good. Fantastic videos by the way - I'm munching my way through your improvisation book at the moment. Very clear and high quality stuff! Thanks Nick

No, it's not a loud amp. But it works exceptionally well for it's purpose.

I was trying to decide between the Flightcase and the Super Flightcase. The Super is only 9lbs heavier so I guess it comes down to the extra cash for the Super. I typically perform in jazz trios and quartets. BTW I notice that even after this very positive review you still choose the Genz Benz as your main rig for URB and electric. Any specific reason?

If "ur" referring to Bass Guitar Magazine, we've been out of print since last March. I now write gear reviews for Guitar World.

So i bought this amp and got a set of default cables in the box. I've been looking into some "monster" bass cables, and i'm wondering which is better. Please reply if you have an answer. Thanks!

Sure, send me one and I'd be happy to!

In terms of volume, not tone, how does it compare with a GK MB150S?

...well all sound waves are omnidirectional, but I guess, since bass frequencies travel farther, it could be argued that bass frequencies are more omnidirectional.

Thanks. Yeah, I've been playing for 35 years, it's sort of a hobby.

Ed is amazing, great reviews for years and has written many instruction books for Hal Leonard and others as well as being a respected session bassist. He's definitely a bass whisperer.
