Musicman666 Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 https://bassmagazine.jp/news/202104-pjb/ Anyone know more about this combo?? because I think I need one of these to make my life complete. Quote
pineweasel Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Half a Double 4 by the look of it, and “Asia Market Only” https://pjbworld.com/cms/index.php/p-x-4-combo-amp-asia-only/ 1 Quote

I guess it will come to the uk eventually.. At this rate I can see Phil going in the direction of making just one standard bass module and then you just stack them all together like Lego to create the setup of your choice..

Musicman666 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 Glad you pointed that one out …seems a strange omission not to have batteries, perhaps it’s just a combination of too small an enclosure with too powerful an amp? Quote
Al Krow Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) While we're waiting for the nano PB to hit the UK market, something comparably loud with very decent bass, even more compact and with multifx, tuner, drums, aux-in and looper all included can be got from this Megaboom micro rig...batteries definitely an option too! 😀 Edited July 24, 2021 by Al Krow 4 Quote

My experience of PJB documentation and press releases is that their copy is not good, to put it mildly. They're riddled with typographical or factual errors and I'm guessing this is a copy pasta from another product, or a prototype. If it's not a mistake then it's conceivable that the speaker is coax, but again given PJB's history of mistakes and the heritage of the double4, I think that's unlikely. 1 Quote

Aalin Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Lovely, pretty and small, but too expensive for me for an amp witch is made to be played at home. The price could be € 200 minimum. Quote
Owen Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 If there is a crossover in there,might it be to plug it into something bigger to deal with the LF on a larger stage? I can see the attraction of that. 1 Quote

I can see the attraction of that. The website says that there's an instrument in, an aux in and a headphone out. Can't see any other io in the photos either. Shame because I agree that it would be a nice idea. Quote

I'm guessing the ickle Boss item is a wireless for bass >>>> B1 four and that the Megaboom has an aux in? My UE Boom is Bluetooth only, so I'd need a Bluetooth transmitter, so that's a no-go for me. Otherwise, I'd do something similar with my Pandora... Quote

Works well with any speaker with aux in - here's the same set up with my smaller Creative speakers: 1 Quote

Decently adequate for home practice, but it's not going to blow you away. Limitation is always going to be the quality of your speakers with this sort of set up. You'll maybe already have an idea of how good Creative portable speakers and / or a Megaboom are for musical output - that's what you'll be getting with this mini rig set up.

Thing is that the pjb stuff no matter how small handles the lowB, well at least I assume it’s the case with this latest offering, certainly the double four can do it. Quote

Ah ok. But a Zoom B1-4 plus those small creatives (T20s) comes to around £125 new. So you pays your money... Having said that I wouldn't want to be gigging a PJB nano combo with 4" speakers, so we are talking purely about home use here. Quote
