PJB Compact C4 - any suggestions for a decent micro head?

[Kubickiboy]

Hi all,

I've been running this as a extension cab alongside my Genz Benz CT500. Great so far, but I'd like a smaller head to go with the PJB so I can use it as a mini rig. But I understand PJB cabs can sap power (volume) from non-PJB heads.

As you can probably tell that even after 25 years of playing bass, I've never really got to grips with the technical side of amps and cabs! I've always chosen by ear. Am I right in assuming this about PJB cabs? I've been considering a TC RH450 as it's got all the features I need and is small enough to fit in my gig bag.

Cheers

PS The Ex Factor has now gone to a good home, and replaced with two Warwicks and a Sterling. But I'm keeping the name and avatar in its honour...

I use one of these cabs with a TH500 for rehearsals. Sounds good and always plenty loud enough but haven't used it for a gig.

I was going to suggest the ToneHammer as even the 500 is unusually light. The 350 must be tiny! But, if the TC ticks all the right boxes, the Tonehammer might not have enough features for you.

I'd go Aguilar as well, I can't see the TC working well with the PJB C4.

I know someone using an EBS Reidmar with C4s and that sounds really nice as well

Great. Thanks for this.
There's a couple more options there to consider. Cheers!
