Players who demand more from their practice amp will find the X4C Nanobass multi-instrument combo amplifier by Phil Jones Bass more than delivers masterful portability without compromising on tone and flexible features. While the X4C Nanobass is made for premium bass tones, it is also optimized for more instruments, including electric guitar, ukulele, and electronic drums. Weighing in at approximately five pounds, the X4C Nanobass fits into luggage or backpacks and can easily be carried by hand. A proprietary 4-inch speaker delivers up to 35 watts of power, outperforming many similarly sized amplifiers. Players can opt for near-silent solo practice volumes, beefy output for group practice with others, or something in between, along with Bluetooth, USB-C, and auxiliary options for track playback from a laptop, iPad, smartphone, or another device. More than anything, bassists at Sweetwater admire the X4C Nanobass’ upscale build quality and sound. With a sturdy design that includes carrying handles and a rugged metal grille, the X4C Nanobass from Sweetwater represents a new standard for practice amps.





A mini marvel





The X4C Nanobass pairs travel-friendly dimensions with an impressive output of up to 35 watts, more power than most compact amps and enough oomph to rival combos you won’t ever fit inside a backpack! The X4C Nanobass’s Neo-Power 4-inch proprietary speaker is voiced to match the amp’s power. At peak levels, you’ll feel the X4C’s speaker push air forcefully as it generates the colorful character of a rattling cabinet on a smaller scale. Players control input and output levels, which provides numerous ways to shape tone and volume to any conditions. Moreover, the X4C Nanobass offers extensive 3-band EQ with up to /-15dB of adjustment per band ? a massive range that’s incredibly convenient when using instruments other than bass. From discrete solo practice to acoustic jam sessions, anything is possible!





Practice in any scenario





This rugged X4C Nanobass amp lets players exercise modern control over practice routines. The built-in wireless Bluetooth, USB-C connection, wired auxiliary connection, and 3.5mm output offer more immersive ways to practice out loud with backing tracks or silently using headphones. An independent level control lets you reach the groove where playback feels right, and the proprietary Neo-Power 4-inch speaker is optimized with music playback in mind for a world-class experience.
