Phil Jones Bass Double Four amplifier - extended range violin/viola and all basses

Some counter intuitive learning for us. Phil Jones' smallest amplifier turns out to be an outstanding choice for Viper violin players on a budget. Yes, those are 2 four inch speakers. It defies logic, but these amps are incredibly efficient and accurate. We actually dial back the bass a touch, raise the mids and highs just a little and the 6 and 7 string Vipers come dangerously alive. Single channel, 70 watts.

Reasons to own: great sound, ultra compact, lowest cost

Best for: 6 and 7 string Viper violin or other extended range violins and violas, electric and acoustic bass

Choose if: you play at home or with one other instrument at a small venue, or you always run a line out to the performance hall sound system

Skip if: you need very loud on stage volume, a D.I. out (1/4 inch out included) or more than one channel
