You can run the Briefcase from 110\/220V, from your car\u2019s battery or a internal battery. The built-in battery gives you about an hour of playing time. To charge the battery, simply plug the Briefcase into an AC power supply.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Jones\u2019 newest version of the Briefcase goes one step further: it\u2019s solar powered.

Of course, it still runs with 110V\/220V, too.<\/p>\n<p>The picture shows Phil Jones\u2019 prototype, but he plans to built about 10 solar powered Briefcases to start: \u201cThere has to be at least 10 people in the world who want to be totally off the grid and play bass!\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>The Briefcase is available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kontrabass-atelier.de\/amps_e.html\" target=\"_blank\">www.kontrabass-atelier.de<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phil Jones\u2019 briefcase was already an unconventional bass amp before: with its two 5&#8243; speakers and a variety of powering options, it is already quite different to other amps on the market.
