Looking for a practice setup.

[Asambique]

I'm considering getting a PJB double 4 BG75 for dedicated practice.

I don't own any sort of amps at the moment as i got rid of my gear a while back due to not needing it anymore, i've recently just been playing through my audio interface and studio monitors/headphones which has been adequate for now but can be a pain when the mrs is home and has nabbed the laptop.

I've been out of touch with bass gear for some time now but slowly getting back into things.
I'm just looking for something small with great tone and nothing that is going to pump out some serious noise levels. I live in a flat with horrendously thin walls and as much as i'd love to musically slap my obnoxiously loud neighbours across the face i'd rather keep things to a minimum.

Before i spend the money on the PJB i'm wondering if there are any alternatives to consider before? Around a similar or hopefully lower price bracket.
Cheers.

To be honest it sounds like the PJB will be perfect for your needs... It's quality versatile kit

The more i look around it just seems the right choice.

Spent some time today researching and the double 4 comes out on top each time.
I did read some people had some unwanted noise because of the power supply? but it seems that may have been an issue with older models?

The only question is really, white, red or black?

... white

I had the PJ briefcase - surprises loads of people when turned on - massive sound from a "[i]silly little amp[/i]".

.... Red! 😊

I think i'm leaning more towards the classic black!! 😊

I have a couple of weeks to mull it over anyway haha. Sold some studio bits to fund it but have to wait untill they get paid at the end of the month.

Roland Cube is well worth a look. Come in various wattages and have loads of features like onboard tuner, mp3 input, headphone socket and loads of effects. Lots of fun.

The micro cube did come onto to my radar, looks good for the money too!!

The beauty of PJB is you can slave it up if you need more power. The preamp is excellent. I have a Flightcase and add a power amp and cabs for more volume. Sounds great.
