Blackstar

collapse expand iconDescription

Bass amplifiers are the most requested product line in Blackstar’s 10 year history.

Now, for the first time, bass players will enjoy the same level of R&D innovation and expertise in tone as their 6-string brethren, with a line of amps designed from the ground up by bass players, for bass players. The new Unity Bass Series offers rock solid bass, detailed dynamics and innovative features in a compact package from 30 Watts to 500 Watts.

Blackstar’s unique Response control allows the player to choose between the sound and feel of three classic power amp stages, shaping compression, natural drive and dynamics. Combined with three distinct preamp voicings and a 4-band EQ, Unity Bass Series produces infinitely flexible bass tone and exceptional feel, whatever your playing style.

The Unity 250ACT powered cabinet can be linked to any model in the line to add 250W or more of active power to your rig; taking you from rehearsal room to gig with ease and portability.

Unity Bass: the power to bring the band together.

    This amp will be used mainly in my music room at home. I needed a bass and a bass amp for jamming and recording. I was totally blown away at the number of functions and the different sounds that this amp can produce. For the size of the cabinet, this thing can really crank it out. I would feel confident that the U250 with a single 15 could handle small to medium venues. Add additional 250 powered cabinets and I think it could handle any venue.

  • The Best in it's class hands down!!!!!!!!!

    I've traveled abroad and played on different Bass amps and lets just say the Britts delivered the goods on this Dope!!! bass amp,, all I can say if you had to choose between the T.C Electronic 250 watt amp and this amp this bass amp is a no brainer from build quality, sound and controls worth every penny, like they say you pay for what you get I'm speaking from experience with my previous T.C electronics bass amp.
