At first, I had my doubts, but thePJB C4 cabinets pack a punch that's hard to believe! The sound is tight, punchy, and those full-range 5" speakers sound fantastic. I was so impressed that I ended up getting a second one! They work like a charm for 98% of my gigs in small to medium-sized venues. While I might not solely rely on them for a large gig, they can shine when paired with a 1x12 or 1x15 underneath. Plus, they're perfect for practice or rehearsals.
So, if you're on the fence about getting one, just go for it! You won't be disappointed! Trust me, these little beasts deliver the goods!

Make sure to pair with a Phil Jones amp head!

Product Review
I've had this cab (red) for almost a month now, and I'm liking it more and more every day. I originally had paired this with a Warwick Gnome head as that's what I had handy. I quickly realized after fiddling with a friend's PJB stuff that the PJB cab needed a PJB head, so I found a BP-200 on the cheap. There is a learning curve to PJB equipment (don't fear the EQ either on the amp or on your bass), but I'm finding now that I'm really digging my sound. The clarity of my basses (both upright and electric) comes through like never before, so much so that I'm finding out what my basses *actually* sound like, and the stark difference between active, passive, and piezo setups. The best tag for this equipment might be something along the lines of "brutally honest tone." Some of my bandmates even noted how my double stops and chords come through clearly and they keep telling me to play more. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting an honest, clear tone.

Phil Jones Bass cabinets are simply a scientific marvel. The C4 cabinets are no exception. 4 5” drivers deliver clean and in colored tone and really make any bass amplifier sound amazing. I use these as my main rig because of their easy portability and power. I am use several of the PJB C series cabinets and love them all. Great product, great design and built with the bass player in mind A+++

I'm just getting back into playing bass after 15yrs. I'm used to SVT CABINETS & heads that weigh 96lbs. This cabinet is amazing. It handles my 4 & 5 string basses no problem at all. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Thank you AMS as always!!!

This little cabinet is awesome. It handles the low B well and the high end is clean. I’m pleased with how my MTD 635 comes through. This little 4x10 has replaced my Eden 410 XLT at only 1/4 the size. I can’t wait the add another to complete the rig.

I just got the PJB C4 a couple weeks ago and was blown away by the deep powerful bass tones I am getting out of it. This is a nice compact speaker that delivers and does not break your back before or after gigs. A perfect supplemental speaker for my PJB Bass Cube amp; I got them both in Red (great combo). A little surprised that they only have the Neutrik type cable connectors and was glad I owned one so no anxiety since I didn't have to order one to connect. Comes with a cover although a bit flimsy.

Incredible cabinets. I bought two and use a QSC Bass Block to power them. I’ve used a variety of preamps and the system sounds great. Deep bass, with a whatever else you dial in. Keeps up with cranked Deluxe Reverbs. Sounds a lot like 2-12’s.
And they are easy peasy to carry. One trip from the car!
Love them.

I like the fact that it was simple to operate. Absolutely fantastic for small venues. I have added it to my 2x12 TC Electronic Cabinets. It really brought out the highs while maintaining the depth of the bass that I like. It's a keeper and will save my back in the process. Definitely worth the money.

Small in size huge in sound these cabs can handle everything you can throw at them including the low B. I was worried that this cab wouldn't be able to handle my octave and auto-filter pedals but it does with ease.I'm very happy with this cab and l plan on adding another one very soon.

I received this cab this week (thank you AMS) and haven't been able to stop playing through it, or looking at it. It's adorable. Cute. However, I plug my Bugera Veyron and run my active Fender P (also all from AMS, thank you) through this and it turns into a beast! Unreal, the power and sound you can dial into this little guy to get clean, clear, crisp tone with a bottom punch to the gut. I haven't taken it out to a gig yet (most gigs I go direct using the Ampeg SCR-DI, ALSO from AMS, thank you) but I will be using this on smaller duo acoustic gigs for sure. I'm almost afraid to bring it out, someone might step on it.
Tiny power. Don't let the 4x5 fool you. I'm a Phil Phan now!
You won't be disappointed. Buy one.

Connect the C4 to the BG-400 and you've got nothing but killer tone! If you're tired of lugging around big heavy gear but still want the quality tone and power, get this combo by Phil Jones, you won't be disappointed!

I am so impressed with the power and tonal quality of this cab. Of course I was skeptical given the speaker size but I have parked the other bass cab from the guys that start with A. I played my first show with it the day I got it, and for the first time ever I was asked to turn down! I’ll be getting a 2nd one and selling my heavy and bulky gear. PJB is the cab for me!

All I can say is go for it. I have plenty of cabs loaded with 10s, 12s, and 15s, but what do you take to small venues and practice? Well this is it! Powered up with my MESA Subway D-800 it will keep up with those acoustic drummers.Then it is the top cab with my MESA Subway 2x10 Ultralite on the big stage! This is my solution of 50 years of lugging around 100 lb. rigs.

Adds more of the same great tone and coverage of the BG-400. Gives me a lot more headroom if I need it (although, it would need to be a very loud gig to require full use of both)

Killing Sound, Insane Size

So far, so good. At such a tiny size, with up to 400 watts, it really handles small gigs easily. I haven't yet tried to push it on a larger stage, but the two small gigs I've done with it have been amazing. Super light, super small, and I can bring my gear to and from the car with one trip. The cab itself really has minimal coloration. You get the sound of your bass. If you have a flat amp, you'll really get to hear what your bass is supposed to sound like.

Bought this after reviewing it from feedback. Looking to ditch my bulky 4-10 SWR. It was so small i was akeptical but it sounded great. Has all lows amd punch you need. Quickly ordered a 2nd one so i could use both of them for a live show and to fill the the sound on stage more. I play heavy Rock and it did not get buried in the sound of 2 guitars and power drumming. Love them and they really kick.

I play bass in a group that generally plays three or four shows a month from local bars to opening for national acts. I mist say the overall tone of this cab is fantastic, easily replaced my 4x10 cab in volume with more clarity and note separation. Lows are tremendous, especially with the size. Setup and tear down is a breeze. I am running the cab with 375 watts, which is loud enough to cover all the local shows. Carries further than you expect outdoors, but I reinforce it with the D.I. Out of my amp for more volume at outdoor venues. They guys I play with use fender deluxe amps and our drummer is actually dynamic, so him drowning everyone out is not an issue. I would highly recommend this cab and will be looking at possible future Phil Jones purchases, because the quality is top notch. After working in a music store for years, I feel comfortable saying that this cabinet definitely belongs in or a head of the conversation with "major" brands like Mesa and Ampeg...to each their own but extremely light and great tone in the same package for the same or often less price. I wish I would have believed the hype when I first heard about them, it would have saved time and space loading in and out on those late night shows!
