Phil Jones 'Earbox'. Bit of a review...

[mybass]

I picked up a new Earbox from GuitarGuitar @ £89 and its a good buy. I sat it on its cardboard box on a chair one side of me with a Markbass 2x10 Ninja combo the other side of me at about volume 3 output off the amp.

Sounded great, I think it would be really good for double bass players.  Ideally used on a mic stand.

The sound was just there enough to fill out my area of the stage using my fretless Washburn AB10 electro/acoustic bass. It has no volume control and works straight off the amp or

speaker cab as the ohm rating doesn't affect power output off the amp or speaker. I took a gamble but I'm pleased with it.....yet another piece of kit to carry but I think for these more acoustic type gigs its a boon.

Maybe a combined jack/speakon input would be better for most people.

It sounded as affective with electric bass.

I've had mine for about a couple of years and it does seem to work better in gigs where the volume isn't too loud. I used mine on  some open mic gigs and as long as it's mostly on the opposite side of your head to your cab it seems fine..

Great review! Maybe put a copy of it in the review section of the forum so it doesn’t get lost amongst the general chat here? Will be useful for us in the future!

yes Dood, I just didn’t see a ‘review’ section (on the iPad) but see it now as ‘Basschatters review’ where it should be.....if anyone can move this across please do.
