Hola amigos. I have had several amps. Mesa Boogie, Hartke, MARKBASS ... all sold. About by their weight and they were difficult to move. Others because it weighed a lot but the sound left much to be desired. Now I connect my Stanley Clarke Deluxe to Phil Jones the suitcase. It is really fantastic. Very easy to carry and light weight. I get the authentic sound of the Stanley Clarke not colored. Also I can connect on my contrabass or my babybass and is a pure acoustic sound. The Phil Jones is 10.

I have just visited the PJ website, I went to smaller amps years ago, same problem as everyone else, big gear = bachache.
Right now I am using a Roland Bass Cube with an extension cab but these amps sound great..even through a PC speaker.
One of my investments is due very soon..I may treat myself to one of these.
Less is definitley more with these amps

Phil Jones offers both lightweight combos and small cabinets that you can use with your choice of amps. Either way, they are worth checking out.

In addition I listened to the demo video of the PJ amps at home on my decent PC system.
You can certainly here the difference bewtween all the different speaker configurations..I am getting very convinced about buying one.

I don't have one of his portable systems, but I have both the 16B and the 8T and REALLY like them. I've also tried the 6pack and it's amazing as well.

I have the SWR SM500 head, and a Goliath Jr cabinet (2x10s). This system rocks for really small rooms and band practice. I love my SWR bass system!

You just won't get the sound and low end of larger cabinets, but even that situation is improving. With a small hand truck and some bungee cords, I can easily transport the system and still have my back.

Mario,
Interesting in your spec list for the MB2, as GK does have a tubed version in the works. I saw a prototype at the NAMM show this year. Of course, I asked about availability, and was told late this summer. The proto I saw was not even finished, no face plate or top. And yea, you could could see those ax7's cookin' inside. Really sounded way good. Put this head with a neo 2X10, and I think you would have a way portable and good sounding rig.

I suggest you the Markbass combo. I can't recommend them enough. Power, quality, reliability and....you bring them around with one hand like a grocery bag. But, of course, taste is taste and you need to try one.
