Hi!
Did anyone tried the PB300 paired with the Cub? is it loud? How's the sound?
I'm playing both double bass and electric, I currently have maruszczyk barabass combo and the bass cub
My gigs are quite small,100-150 ppl

Thanks!

[/quote]Yes, although I tend to just use a Bass Buddy as the amp currently (even less to cart around).

[/quote]Yes it's loud, I run mine just under half volume in a 5 piece rock/pop covers band, playing pubs and clubs. No problem being heard at all. The sound is very pure, more so than the Cub as a stand alone. When I first got the 300 I thought it was faulty because I could hear some fuzzy background noise. It turns out that my muting technique had got a bit sloppy and the 300 was not being as forgiving as my previous Mark Bass/Schroeder rig.

I probably did too, but hadn't noticed it at lower volumes. I find the 300 delivers an even more 'accurate' delivery of instruments' different tones than the Cub (which is no slouch in this dept either). My Rickenbacker, P bass, Rob Allen and Ibanezes all sound very distinctly different, as they should. I also find the 300 good when used with a 'voiced' pre amp, I use a Tech21 VT pedal and it delivers the various characters of this effect very well.
