If it's <£900 when it arrives here then that would be great, but going by the PJB pricing, it'll probably be about £2,000. Quote

It would look great on-stage with a standard lamp and a potted plant next to it. Quote

Alpha-Dave Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Definitely love-or-hate looks then, but at least the amplifier won't vibrate off the top of the speaker stack when you play an e-string. Quote

Regards Phil" That's about the price of two 250 Watt 6x5" single channel BG-300 combos except that the BG-800 offers more wattage + two channels. In another e-mail he said that a manual for this new 750 Watt combo would be available when the new rig is released. Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I like the idea of that tiny light combo, but the price will put me off. I hope the retail price is decent. I really dont understand the large cabs, plus Ive not seen anyone using them yet, but I would be interested to hear! Edited January 10, 2010 by Musicman20 Quote

Happy Jack Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Incidentally, is anyone else struggling to believe those dimensions? The Roadcase is given as W 12.5" D 15.75" H 20.5" but the photos make it obvious that it's three times as high as it is wide. I'd guess that the 20.5" is a typo and should read 40.5". That remains a seriously handy piece of kit for pub gigs. All I need now is to work how many pub gigs I'd need to play (and get paid for) to cover the cost ... Quote

For that kind of dough I'd prefer to have two BG-300 combos (one for now + a second if needed) to enjoy a fail-safe system redundancy and the bi-directional speaker firing arrangement which would offer some useful monitoring options depending upon the positioning of the rig(s) on stage.

I would offer that the indicated 20.5"H dimension for the BG-800 is actually more like 30.5". And judging from what I've seen in the manuals for a number of PJB products, as bad as my scribbling is, I would also offer my services as a proof-reader... Quote

Their bassist Karl Clews had the big cabs. Very clean sound. Too clean for my liking. Quote

MacDaddy Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I had a Dalek which I took to the early Bassworld bashes. PJB M-500 head 720w, on top of a 8T & 16B, so 24 of the 5 inch speakers. Loved it, but got a new car and it didn't fit in it. The head only put out 720w at 2ohms but to do that you would need 2 of the biggest cabs. So what I'm wondering is, does the Roadcase make full use of the 750w amp or are extention cabs needed? Quote
MIJ-VI Posted April 28, 2010 Author Posted April 28, 2010 You could e-mail Phil Jones re the BG-800. Quote
